HD Virgin
In July I bought my first Harley, a 2011 Road Glide Custom. My other bike is a Naked Honda that weighs 425lb. The RG is almost twice as heavy. I am finally getting used to having to muscle around all of that extra weight. Any way, just wanted to introduce myself to the HD community.

Welcome from Vegas.
Don’t worry about the size/weight thing. I did the same thing, went up in weight a few times. You will learn to tame the beast in no time. Do some parking lot stuff, practice, practice… Eventually you’ll get comfortable with it. I still look at my Limited like it’s a beast, but once I’m rolling it’s not too big a deal. Even when it's sitting still I just have to be firm with it...

Its going to sound weird but you'll know what I mean when it happens if it hasn't already....make yourself one with the machine and the weight will take care of itself..........Welcome to the forum from Arizona.
