Ohlins Shocks, Race tech emulators, 125 HP /124 TQ under 2500 RPM.. best riding HD I ever owned and my favorite bike I ever owned.. 2017 RGU
In the manual it states any alteration to the emissions system such as the intake and exhaust may be in violation of motor vehicle laws. Parts other than HD approved may void the warranty.I’ve never seen a Harley with stock pipes. Most leave the dealership with new pipes. How does that void the warranty.
Did Howard set your shocks up?
I am not a fan of the slip transmission. The jury is still out on the linked brakes. We have a shit ton of curvy roads here and sometimes it sux to have the front brake grab when you just want to drag the rear a little.The only thing I miss with the M8 is engine braking of the Twinkies.
I think black exhaust would look killer on that paint scheme.its only money. YOLO

I am not a fan of the total black out. But cutting down a bit of the chrome is not bad.
Is that a matching Ammo crate on the side? Nice ride brother!Ohlins Shocks, Race tech emulators, 125 HP /124 TQ under 2500 RPM.. best riding HD I ever owned and my favorite bike I ever owned.. 2017 RGU

Part of the reason I bought it.question for you guys w the bigger bikes, do your wives ride w you?
If you don’t want all the electronics, look for a 2015 or earlier. Or maybe a 2014 or earlier. Harley stopped making the road glide for a year and I don’t remember which year it was.was looking to ditch my KTM and possibly switch to a harley, Road Glide Limited for comfort for both the wife and myself, as all the roads we have here are straight, flat and boring, so wind in the hair is the only thing worth riding for really.
Looked at new and old, can't stand the new ones for one reason, feels like they put wheels on an Atari with all the electronic crap, I just want to ride, not surf xm and maps while trying to find the button for cruise. The sales guy said I wouldn't like the Ultra Limited because the wind catches the fairing? but I like the look better, the road glide seems to have a buffet bar in front of it for some reason.
Any opinions would help. Didn't realize the rest about the company though until reading this. A friend worked at the factory and said all the parts were made in japan to make them run anyway, electronics, carbs, fuel injection etc.
I like harley for the ride height for the wife, she's shortish and honestly they feel like riding a scooter, but comfortable enough for a 700 mile ride or so, can't find a jap or austrian equivalent.
Faster, smoother, quite, no vibrations, more comfortable, just cooler all around... sorry guys, couldn't resist

Dang it I thought armyjerry was back
Just sayingsome nice bikes but I'll stick to Indian
marketing and knowing what you grew up with are important factors. It's actually got less American made parts than it's counterparts if anyone cares. They had to recall new bikes a few yrs ago and rewire as those chinese wires put them over the 50.01% threshold and the union went nuts. Harley is an icon but Indian is the true American motorcycle both historically and components wise. Fun fact, Indian was the only motor vehicle company not to make a profit on items sold to the US gov't during ww2. Indian didn't make a penny on any bike sold to Uncle Sam; now that is patriotism. It's ironic that Harley gained a foothold in the US bike mkt in large part as a result of ww2 profits as Indian mkt share and financial leverage was essentially retarded due to that decision. Within a decade, Indian would be a pimple in the US motorcycle mkt. Harley, wisely marketed police forces after the war as those ranks were littered with veterans and Harley and Indian were iconic during the war. I used to work for a large consulting firm and had to do work for Harley's liquidity positions at one point. Man did I see some cool stuff. I like Harley, I like Indians better. I will say however, absolutely love the look and features of the streetglide, not the hp and performance however.Exactly this. No offense intended, but I never understood the folks who say that they don't like Harley as a company and still buy their bikes. Many other options that are faster, smoother, more reliable, ad infinitum. And most of the other options can be bought for less money.
lol, both harley and polaris owned by sharedholders and wall street funds; just sayingPolaris
Just saying
definitely a win there, great bikes but acceleration throughout the band is not linear. I almost bought one a few years ago, great bikesDucati FTW!
