Default Took Delivery

Well, finally took delivery today of my '09 SG.

What a ride difference between a V-Rod & a SG.

SG tracks like it's on a rail. I couldn't get over how it handled over grooves, bumps, tracks, etc.

The seat is worthless and the 4" windshield is worth less.

My neck hurts from being buffeted around so much.

My salesman tells me to keep it under 50mph for the first 500 miles. How the hell do you do that??

Then I read my manual and it says to keep the rpm's under 5000 for the first 500 miles, nothing about speed listed. That makes more sense.

It's going to take some time for the adjustment but I'm glad I bought the SG and have no regrets.

No sense posting any pictures till I do some upgrades. You've seen one stock black pearl SG, you've seen them all!

Congrats!! I agree about the windshield and seat. I've put an 8" dark tinted windshield and have a stock FLHT seat for the longer rides.
