My fourth harley since 1987 but the road glide is by far my favorite. It seems to do everything from dailyP.O. duties to road tripping exceptionally well. Seems like the batwing sells better but I'm sticking with the shark. That's all I got to say about that!

RE: Man I really like my road glide!
Just got my 08 anniversary edition RG. Had to trade my '00 herritage Stail classic. I'm bummed about offing my parade bike. Should have kept it for the local hops. I traveled with it on long trips and it got me there just fine but I always thought I would be able to go further with less fatigue if I had a touring bike. My bro in Minneapolis could not stop talking about his RG. So, I made the trade. I have 1000 mi. on the gloden buda now and I have to say it is truly a fine machine. Handles like a F-15 on wheels.I just need to get some feed back on a couple of things.
1) My riding position needs to change because after 50 or so miles my spine is burning something fierce by my shoulder blades. I went to St. Louis and back to Chicago and thought I was screwed for making the trade. Thenafter some beers a rub down and a hit I came to my senses. It is not the machine but some adjustments.Longer bars, different seat or both?
2) The '08 models and the pipe upgrade saga. Man,the dealership is like a box of chocolaes on this issue. Different answer every time.
Any insight will be a blessing.

I also have the wide glide bars on mine but I still get a sharp pain at the base of my neck on the left side, makes it hard to look over my shoulder for lane changes and merging. I think a riders backrest is my next step or maybe a solo seat w/backrest. Other than that (had same problem on all my bikes), love my RG

Not trying to bag on your new ride [because anything new is awesome to have!] or Road Glides in general, but after spending around 100 miles [which I know is relatively few miles] on a Screamin' Eagle Road Glide this weekend, I honestly don't see what all the hype is about. I think this was an '02 model: had the SE 1550 engine w/the chopped tour pack. Definitely different than the regular Electra Glides, felt more open air like I was on a Heritage or maybe a Road King. Even through some decent twisties, through traffic, down the highway, etc. nothing there to make me think- "Wow, I need to have one of these". No more or less capable than any other bagger I've been on and far from anything I'd call 'sporty'.
Hope you get to rack up the miles soon!

Congrats on the new scoot. Gotta love the RG. If you have not already paid for or whatever, I would suggest looking into a BB kit from GMR or HQ instead of the 103 kit from H-D. I have the H-D kit on mine and it's nice and all, but think I coulda got more bang for my buck with one of the other kits. Lots of guys here on the forum can answer questions about the other kits. Which ever way you go, ride it like you stole it and enjoy the hell outa that RG. I know I do.

I just brought my wide glide to trade in today and my road glide is supposed to be in within a week (can't wait) and I'm having them throw in a 103 kit before I pick it up... (CAN'T WAIT!!!!)
