Touring? Get an Ultra Limited or Road Glide Ultra. The SG and RG's I have owned in the past ride rough compared to Ultra or Ultra Limited...unless the 17's are much much smoother. I haven't ridden a new one...plus fir touring the extras are worth it.

I've owned 38 Harleys, you name it, Ultras. Limiteds, Softails, Dynas VRods, you name it I owned a few. The 2017 Street Glide I just bought and put 300 miles on the past couple days is the best freakin Harley out of the box I every owned. PERIOD. It's powerful, Handles well, rides great with the new suspension. What more could I say.....

If now is a good time to buy for you, I would buy a 17. Checked them out at my local dealer today. Spoke with the parts manager, he told me he rode the hell out of a 17 at the dealer meeting. Never missed a beat. Very solid.

I own a 14 that I really like, not trading but if I was buying I would go with a 17.

black forks from factory?

...........no way...either you've already been ripping that thing apart or your dealer pieced that together? those forks look great on that bike. good stuff.
