Picked up my new Roadglide Ultra yesterday. Spent 2 days taking the Streetglide back to stock. About half of the parts are in the picture. Most of it will go on the new bike but I'll be E-Baying the stuff that won't. I guess I'll have to change my name to rg_dave and start over. Does anyne know if you can change your username?

Dealer threw in the detachable tourpack kit, daymaker headlight, and 12" dark smoked Windvest. They had to order but will install when it comes in. I'm debating in my head over MGS true duals or a Dragula 2-1. I'll order that today. Dragula is out of stock right now. I like them both but I'm leaning toward the black dragula. I'll go with an open breather like I had on the SG. I'll have to switch the powervision over and get a new map. Will add dynamic rings signals and a Bright *** Lights smoked laydown taillight in May. Grips will be changed pretty quick. I have a ton of Wille G skull stuff already. Will have to get the floorbooard inserts at some point. I also have my C&C fastback seat. I don't plan on changing the wheels but will probably go with floating rotors at the first pad change. Will do stereo stuff later. I plan on riding it for a while before thinking about bars. I'm not screwing with wiring monkey bars again! Will add RG custom rear facia and move the license plate later as well.

Thanks. It was good to meet you as well. Maybe next time we'll do some riding together. At some point I definintely want to talk stereo with you but it's pretty far down my list right now. I'm amazed at how good the stock stereo sounds without all that wind blasting up under the fairing.

Oh and I just sent a PM to Terry about changing the username.

From a sound perspective I prefer the true duals once it's tuned. Just my two cents. Take it for what it's worth.

Nice glide.
