What don't you like about your bagger?
For me its the motor company just is becoming cheap. Tons of parts they just go cheap on. but the one I am stuck on and will soon change once I find a local painter is the tank badges. Street glide is the same price of a road glide but the street glide comes with actually tank badges where the road glide has them painted.
Also my wallet is a lot thinner since all the new mods!!!! Made the same mistake on my last bike and bought a bike in the winter when you live in a state with snow. Tons of time to work on the bike

Vibration! It would be nice to get off the bike after a long day and not have to deal with the tingling in my hands for an hour or so.
I also don't like the direction the valve stems point (major PITA), but will have that taken care of when the tires are replaced.
Other than that, I have no real complaints.

Kickstand Safety Issue
I've taken off on my bike several times with my kickstand down and so have my friends. How hard would it be to put an ignition interlock on Harley's like all other bikes?

Air suspension is so/so. The location of the nozzle for the air suspension is horrible now that I've secured my saddlebags. The air pump should be included with the purchase of a $25,000 motorcycle. The stock seat is only good for about 100 miles. I wish there were a way to use the CB and the intercom at the same time. The previously mentioned valve stems make no sense. I guess that's about it for me. All-in-all I love the bike it's just silly because most of these problems are easy fixes that should be incorporated into the stock design.

Yes
Thankfully I've never done this but it is a serious concern. My dad lost a buddy because of this about 30 years ago. He stopped to pay a toll and put his kickstand down. When he proceeded to the on ramp of the highway his kickstand struck the pavement and sent him off the high side of the bike. He was impaled by a gaurdrail post and died. I can't believe a kickstand interlock is not required by law.
