Well, I made the mistake and rode one today. All I can say is WOW! Super smooth ride and what SEEMED like more room. I feel like if it weren't for my long arms I would be able to hardly reach the radio to turn it on (it was off when I got on the bike.) the stock windshield sucks, I couldn't hear he radio at all while cruising above 55mph. The handling on the bike was amazing though. I am gonna take my bikes up there Saturday and see what they can do for my on a trade in.
that being said, i'm on my 2nd roadglide. wouldn't own a batwing. and as far as the radio goes, i don't have long arms, and i don't really have any problem with it. might have to lean forward a little every now and then, but most of what you need to do you can do with the thumb controls anyway.
hope they do you well on your trade (s)..... once the shark bites, it doesn't let go

Ok ok ok....so I own an 06 EGC and am approaching 25k miles. Gonna have to either do the cams and probably do a BB kit for more power while I'm at it, heads, etc. bottom line, around 2k worth of work so I'm thinking bout getting a new bike altogether.
So, I'm thinking bout getting a new 2013 Road Glide. The dealer is quoting MSRP for it (around 21k)and its the last one they have. So, a used one 2012ish cost darn near as much as a new one. Anyways, what do you guys think? Used or new? I'm leaning towards new but I have seen some pretty smokin deals on used bikes. The good thing bout a new one is I KNOW it's history
On a side note, some dealers say they aren't allowed to sell below MSRP and offer money in accessories instead.

Yeah, the dealer here has offered some kick backs via accessories. That's fine with me cause right off the bat I want a tall boy seat, seat back, tour pack, maybe some lowers too. All that is way more than $1000. It's all smoke a mirrors anyways when trading stuff in the numbers start getting played with. The guys here are real fair, as long as I feel good about the deal ill do it.
