Welcome to the shark tank. Thats a good color. When I bought my '12, the dealer showed me the '13 color chart. I almost ordered the '13 with your color.

Stock? Dont hang around this forum too long or you'll be dropping coin like the rest of us fools on here.

Nice choice.I love that color on the shark. I run a 2011 CVO RG Ultra windshield on mine. it fits me perfect. I run lowers also. They really helps with the wind coming up from around the tank. Enjoy the Fugly.

Who am I kidding!!! My wife finally let me buy it!!! And I thank her every hour or so since Friday.

2013 road Glide Custom. 5000 miles. Stage one exhaust. Took a long time to find that color with ABS. Because of the weather and road salt, I am letting them deliver it to me.

I am going to let it be stick till I ride it for while. I will get a larger windshield. (Hence the questions on windshields.)

Let the money fly!!!!
You may want to wander over to the roadglide.org forum. Lot's of great info on the RG including windshield options. Most, myself included prefer the Madstad on the RG. Here's a pic of mine with the Madstad to give you an idea..

If I were to get a newer bike that would be exactly what I'd get. Great choice

Thanks all for the support and help.
jessultra,
Erie HD had it on the floor. I put down money 2/14 but my wig got sick, so I could not go up and do the deal till 3/7.

I love the original windshield looks, but I bet is useless for keeping wind of my face. Around town or bar hopping probably fine. And I don't want to wear a full face all the time either. Another member here has a good deal on a 12" & 14" Windvest. I might ride with the original one then see hows those go. Good prices on them as well.

I do like the Madstrad, just pricey. If I show the wife that cost, after the bike cost, I will be sleeping on it for months!!!

Cant wait for it do be delivered!!! Coming next week. Roads are not that great here, so I am letting them deliver it.
