Now since you have the new 2012 RG, you should book the 2012 West Coast GTG in Spokane, Wa to show it off! :huepfenjump3:

I just looked this up.  We might do this ride.  My husband has a CVO 2011 Roadglide.  We were going to go to California but could make this our first stop and then carry on...  Thanks  :-)

One more sleep  Accckkkk!!!

OK...  I finally have some pictures.  They are up late, I was too busy riding today.  OMG this bike is amazing!  I was kind of scared of how big it was from my FXDSE, but after two minutes I was wondering what I was worried about.  It handles so great and it such a different ride.  I love the stereo, floor boards, LOVE the whole bike!

These pictures do not do the bike justice, the paint is awesome in person!

Congratulations!

By your smile, it's certainly not hard to tell how pleased you are with it...  

Happy trails to you.


PS - If Ebony & Irvory isn't going to fly, personally I like Orca - because you must be a Canucks fan, right?

Thanks everyone!!  I had an awesome weekend getting used to this bike!  I love it, but still need to work on my slow speed corners and walking the bike around.  I have to get used to the weight of this compared to my Dyna I could just throw that around no problem.  I am not flat footed on the new bike which makes me more uncomfortable, but I'm getting some new rubber added to the bottom of my shoes so hopefully that will help and I will see what I can do with the seat to get me lower.  I can't wait until the break-in period is over and I can just have fun.  I have almost 500k's put on this weekend, so not much longer ~ This bike feels like it just wants to go fast   :P

PS Grizzly...  Of course I am a Canucks fan, so Orca works for me! ;D

Hi and congrats on the new bike.  Very nice.  I'm not so sure you are the first to get one in Canada though as there was one with Sask. plates on it at the Canadian National Hog Rally in Kamloops this past weekend.  Maybe he bought it in the US.  I'm not sure how he could have but I didn't get a chance to talk to him.

Have you considered an H-D front & rear lowering kit?  I've put them on every Electra Glide I've owned (6 & counting) and wouldn't have it any other way!  It may help you feel a whole lot more comfortable???

Just a thought.

PS - Okay now that we know you're a huge Canuck fan, your challenge is to get a picture of you, your bike and one of the Canuck players... With a bike as nice as that "Orca", it should be no problem at all.

So Moe, how was the rally?  Are we going to see the details in the "Ride Report" section soon?  Kamloops is a beautiful area of the country, so I'm sure it was a well attended rally.  Please share a report with pics for us inquiring minds.

Take care,
Grizzly

Thank you for this info.  My husband looked it up in HD catalogue for me and said that they do not work on my bike?  I think it has been lowered already.  Hubby is going to look at some aftermarket things too for me.  If I shaved the seat in, lowered it a bit and also got higher boots I might be OK.  If the bike is already lowered I don't want to affect the cornering/handling of it if I don't have to.  Something for me to research and deal with over the winter months...  not that I want to mention these types of months  LOL

I should have mentioned that the bike you saw was a dealer in Regina's....  His wife took it to the rally in Kamloops.  I heard it was a good rally, well organized rides, etc.  I really like the Kamloops dealership, they have been great to deal with whenever we've been there.
