Today... I put the first 100 miles on it.

Traded in my 2017 Road King for a Midnight Blue/Barracuda Silver 2019 Deluxe. Fantastic. Feels like half the weight and one and a half times the power. Bone stock right now but not for long.

I did my 15k mile service today. Looks like I'll need to pick up a new air filter sometime this next week.

Vance & Hines Eliminator 300 slip ons

I put VH 300 Eliminators on my 18 Heritage. They're OK but I want a deeper heavier sound, I'd like to hear in person what the Rhineharts sound like. Anybody have an opinion?

Nope, Deluxe is 107 only, but damn it feels quicker given the weight difference, especially off the line.

this may be of limited help because I put them on right out of the gate, but my understanding is you wind up with a deeper sound if you put in the quiet baffle (Seems a bit counterintuitive). I’m very happy with the sound of my VH 300s (which is of course subjective) - nice rumble at idle and plenty of great sounds when you get on it.
