I originally wanted a 2016 RGU. Just couldnt afford the payments. I got my 2013 FLHTK a few months ago. Wife would kill me if I told her I wanted to trade again. I do love my limited and have plans on upgrades next spring. Unless something major happens this will be my last bike purchase.
Coming off a '14 Road King, My new Vivid Black RGS is due in at the end of November,will be getting the 114 upgrade before delivery. Congratulations on your new ride.
I'm coming from a Dyna Switchback and recently test rode a 2017 Road King and loved it. I haven't test ridden a new RG/S yet. How would describe the ride quality difference between the 2?
Yes I had a 2014 SGS and went to the 2017 RGS and wow what a difference. The power this motor has amazing I only had a stage one with full exhaust on my 14, but the 17 has power from top to bottom...so much more fun to ride then the rushmores. Suspension could still be better, but it's a step in the right direction. I may have to break down and get a set of rear shocks and then the bike would be perfect.

Forgot to mention, OP congrats on your bike!!!
I put about 5,000 miles on a 2013 SwitchBack and traded it for my '14 Road King. That switch was a huge improvement for me and wife as we go two up alot. The RK feels lighter on its feet, rides and handles better.
My motivation for the New RGS is to have something different. I was always a minimalist until recently, and now the RGS started talking to me.
I have only test Riden the new M8 RGS, not enough seat time to really answer your question but I appreciated the noted improvements the new power train offers.
