Default Bought my first bagger

I bought a 2013 Super glide in April. After riding it for a few months, I realized I wanted something Different, I wanted either a road king or street glide. So i figured i'd keep this for a year or so then trade up. Well yesterday I took my SG in for it's 1000 mile service. I got to talking to one of the guys in the sales department while waiting to get it serviced. Well I never got it serviced and brought home a new 2013 Road King. Wow, what a difference this bike is to ride Vs the SG. I'm not dishing the SG, It was a great bike and ran great. But I cant stop looking at and wanting to ride my Road King.

enjoy

Great choice! That said, I went in for Road King and came home with an Electra Glide Classic. :-) Have yet to do my 1K service, but I doubt I'll come home with something different. Have fun!

Congrats!! I had a 12 Super Glide with about 4k on it....traded for the Road King in November. HUGE difference...love it. I generally like black vehicles but your color looks awesome!! All I have done to mine is a stage 1 with V&H double slash slipons.....runs and sounds great!
LOTS of luck...enjoy!!

Nice,

don't let these guys talk you into spending a bunch more money...take your time and get to know the bike first.

BTW "SG" means Street Glide/ FLHX around here.
