I also love my new RG EXCEPT for the head buffetting I'm getting at any speed over 40mph. It's driving me nuts!
sifularson, I notice you're running a Klockwerks 12" shield on your Road Glide. What do you think of it? Reduced buffetting?

A couple of suggestions to improve your comfort.
1. Wild One's Chubby 517's - a lot of pullback and very comfortable position for touring.
2. A rider's backrest - I have the HD adjustable version. But, any added back support will help.
I can put my feet up on the cruise boards now and it's like sitting in my recliner. Now if I could just figure out how to mount a 50" tv I'd have it all!

Spent 300 miles on mine today with the wife. Rode up the Columbia Gorge with some friends. What an incredible day. Sun shining, 75 degrees, views of the Columbia River, Mt. Hood and St. Helens. INCREDIBLE!!!!
The bike it great too. . .

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!
