Trading Softail for a Roadglide
Trading Softail for a Roadglide
Well, I sign the papers next week on my first touring bike. Getting a 2013 Roadglide Custom in Big Blue Pearl. Can't wait to pick her up and take her for a nice long cruise back home. I am buying about $1500.00 worth of parts at the same time and I would like to know if anyone can tell me what I would need to bring for tools to install the detachable hardware kit and the passenger backrest while I'm there. This will give the misses some back support during our ride home. I think the rest can wait until I get home to install.. Thanks and I look forward to learning more from you guys as time goes on..

you can find install instructions for H-D kits online.
read through a couple of times and you'll get a grasp of what is needed.
BUT
1st day on a new heavy bike- maybe you'd do well to get the handling figured out before loading up with your Gal.
You start warbling around, She is gonna be wondering what is wrong with You or the new bike and if she looses confidence, she might not get it back

4 point docking kit, part # 54205-09... MKguitar - I know exactly what your saying, we have however rented a few on vacations and have tested them out pretty well so I hope we have no issues. I guess we will find out this week though. Good advise for anyone moving up to the touring models though!!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Congrats on your new Roadie, but shouldn't the dealer install your $1500 worth of extra's on you newly purchased bike, for free?

Thanks, can't wait to pick it up & put some miles on. I guess with all the bikes I've had, I've never been offered free install on the parts. I did however get them to pay for half the parts, that's why I'm getting the things I want right away.
