Hello to everyone
Greetings from Iraq! I always told myself that when I make Lieutenant Colonel or retire, whichever comes first, I am going to get a Road Glide. I caveated that with if I get shot at here in Iraq that will eliminate the first two reasons to get one. Needless to say, I am now the proud owner of the '08 Anniv. Road Glide. I am going to pick it up in about thirty days from now and can't wait.
I have talked to some people who mention getting a Stage I kit and so forth but do I really need one if the bike is brand new? My old bike was a Buell lightening X-1 and my fast, furious cornering days are over. Why would I want more speed on a 800 pound bike?

First and foremost, allow me to say THANK YOU for your service!!!
now, Welcome to HDForum from Olympia Wa. If you just hang out for a while and read a few posts in some of the different forums, you will get an answer to every question. There are several different ways to do the mods you were inquiring about. It all depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend.
