Thanks alot guys I need to update my profile...I recently moved to SC, sooo its quite warm enough to ride . Was 73 yesterday when I picked her up.

I was really looking at a used one, but the sales rep...A very convincing lady , made some good points and it wasnt tooo much more than a used one. This is by far the smoothest ride Ive ever had. I made the decision on the SG as I rode my Night Train to Sturgis from Detroit this year. Why my *** was killing me the whole way, my buddy was kicking back relaxing with his stereo blasting on his 06 SG. Needless to say, I knew I needed one.

BTW....Semper Fi Junior

I have a C&C Fastback seat with the rider backrest. The passenger backrest is a HD part that I sent to C&C for them to re-cover to match the seat.

There are several options for a rider backrest on the stock seat, but IMO the HD backrests look like big turds sitting on the seat.

Congrats. Like that color more every time I see it. I did the same thing you did, walked in and saw a color scheme and 3 hours later traded the 05 for the new 12 and now a new one in the garage. Enjoy!

I had the same experience last month. I went to my dealer for some exhaust gaskets and came home with a BBP FLTRX. I hope that you like your bike as much as I like the look of the BBP on the Roadglide.
