Default welcome

to the Sharknose club....you will never go back to a batwing, you can also join in on www.roadglide.org . I sold my 2000 Road King Classic with detachable batwing in 2010 and bought my 2009 CVO Road Glide.....what a difference!

I'm hoping everyone is right about never looking back at a bat wing. So far I don't think I have enough seat time to decide. That and I hate the handlebars on the bike. The dealership put some Roland Sands 10" apes on it and it just isn't me. I'll know better once I get a set of 14" Santees or Wild 1's on it.
SE I joined RG.ORG when I first bought the bike. lots of good info there.
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow of where I'm at with it.

You don't want to know! Change your title to Shark Side and everything will be just fine.
