Went from a '04 FXDWG to a '06 Road King to a '07 Road Glide - and if it gets stolen or totalled I'll get another Road Glide.

I have considered lowers, but I like some wind and don't get cold so I'm leaving it alone. Getting the windshield right IS critical. I tried the tall HD one, ended up with the Clearview tall.

My facial muscles do get a bit tired - I get a huge grin when I ride my Roadie!

i Have a 2008 Road Glide, I changed out the handlebars, and modified the seat to fit me better. One heck of a great ridding bike.

I rode the CVO version last year at demo days and loved it. I'm always thinking about one and will seriously consider it when the time comes for another. But having said that, the Electra is still rock solid in my books.

I love my 08. I think these things look great stock plus the option to mod it is endless. I haven't heard many that dont like the ride. Some aren't a fan of the looks but it's all personal preference. I LOVE the looks and the ride...

Good luck with your choice.

I ride one handed when bikers with bat wings are holding on for dear life during rides on windy days. If you ever buy an RG you will never go back to a bat wing. This is ***** G's favorite for a reason. I had plenty of near death close calls out west with cross wind blasts from semi's catching my bat wing. Not any more...We all no wind can be a problem!

Well never really liked them and seen the denim black 2010 sitting on the floor of the stealership ,,, now Iam the new proud owner of a new 2010 ROADGLIDE. Traded in the 2006 Streetglide little getting used to but wow, wow, wow. This thing handles great, changing lanes with grooves in the road no longer do you get the wobble and it really holds true. LOVE IT>>>>>>>>>>>>>
