Hey Guys
I'm Planning to purchase a 2004 Road glide in the next couple of days.
It has 7500 miles on it.
Is there any issues with the 04 RG that I should be aware of?
Any suggestion on things I should look for b4 I throw down my cash?
Thanks for the help
I've had mine since new. 28K on the clock. Lots of upgrades, of course. No issues with mine........always stuck to the maintenance schedule and always used Mobil1 15w-50 and BelRay in the tranny. I don't remember having any factory recalls on this model.
You will love the bike.....I'm on my second RG. Lower fairing is worth every penny.
To answer your question, every year has a few quirks, do a search in this section on 04 models and find out what they might be, but nothing major comes to mind.
