Default Back on the Road Glide - picked up a 2025

I traded my 2018 Road Glide Special for a 2025 Pan America (I don't know what I was thinking), then ended up trading that for a 2025 Low Rider ST. Really liked the bike overall, however, it was just not that comfortable. So, I traded that for the 2025 Road Glide - Midnight Firestorm. I was thinking about a CVO Road Glide ST, but that $50K price tag is a little hard to swallow.
What a ride - I had no idea these new bikes were this nice! Holy Crap! This thing is so sweet!

Just love this bike - so smooth and fast.
Planning some upgrades too.
Installed the Khrome Werks 4.5 HP Plus mufflers with the Race Tips - sound is so deep and amazing.
Ordered some KST Pathfinder bars - had those on my 2018 and they were pretty comfortable.
Also ordered a 10" Dark Smoke Klock Werks flare windshield and a Viper seat from Bad Boyz Cycles.

This thing rocks!

Congrats! The stock bars look pretty good from the factory for a change.

Dealer should put your name on the wall for customer of the year. I've bought few other bikes but never let my HD touring go, In 2023 I think finally find the right bike a BMW GSA and love riding both equally.

Sweet ride, love the ghost flames. I was looking at that same model but the dealer didn't want to discount it as much as the 2025 Brilliant Red RG that I ended up purchasing. As far as the KST handlebars, I went with the 12" Spearhead for their 3 piece adjustability.
