Moved on up to a road glide
traded in my fat bob for a 2013 road glide in vivid black and loving it..Was surprised at how easy it is to throw this thing into the curves i don't know who told me that dynas handle better but the road glide seems way more responsive and lighter for some reason.and it seems to fit me like a glove just to top it off
(also does anyone change out there oil before the 1000 mile service or is it waste)

Some riders need a little bit of time to adjust to such light and responsive steering with a heavy-weight but I suspect they had become accustomed to the somewhat self-centering response of a fork/handlebar mounted windshield/fairing and that's gone now. However, once they realize how responsive steering is with a frame mounted fairing and how different it is now that side-gusts cannot directly induce uncontrolled steering input (all steering is now rider controlled), they're hooked.
ETA: Cross-winds induce necessary corrections no matter what but with a frame mounted fairing, the decisions and steering inputs are up to the rider. The wind gusts do NOT take over the actual steering control.
