Smart looking bike,....pssst,....keep the BMW handy just in case,...

[SDCVO]

took "her" (no man would be this much work..) for a 400 mile run today and bike ran perfect. New stereo setup is fantastic. I have had Apple Play in my car for a while but never used it much other than for the navigation but it works great on the bike. Even sent a couple of texts.having Pandora was great especially considering I need to move the Sirius antenna to above the dash as I couldnt even get a constant signal in the middle of the desert. only issue I had which in the big picture is nothing. Now just need to pray it stays that way, we will see.
Heres a better pic-

Looks good Alan.  Lets hope your 100% done with issues.

You could send a Text?  Through Siri?

[Robmay]

WOW! She's a suitor! Which seat, shield and bars did you put on her?

[09nessrg]

Great looking mako, torn between that and the silver to acquire. Keep us posted, which is more comfortable for the long rides,BMW or HD, any determination? Which would you chose if you were going Seattle to Key West?

When you move the scroller over to messages on Apple Play then push in on the hand control she (I use a British woman, long story..) asks "who would you like to text" and then just answer her questions. I sent texts to 4 people in m y family getting longer with my message each time and every one of them worked perfect. when you get a text a banner comes up on whatever screen you are in Apple Play or not, push same knob and it reads it to you through your helmet or however you set it up. It will then ask if you want to respond. I had a full conversation going with my daughter and she had no idea I was on the freeway in Palm Springs on my bike the whole time. Meet her later and looked at my messages and was no mistakes. Very cool! My BMW certainly doesnt do that..

seat was the Danny Grey Air Hawk from my Streetglide which matched perfectly with the red stitching. Shield is a Memphis Shades 10" spoiler shield and bars are Factory 47's. Never had the Factory 47's before, really like them. Were very comfortable yesterday.

I don't and won't have a beamer to compare but my 08 Roadglide made it from Ft.Myers FL to Fairbanks and back with no issues to either my self or the bike.  Even though it was a 900 lb dirt bike at times.

Perfect. Thank you. I ordered a Memphis shades 8.5” Spoiler that came in Friday - wrong shield was sent. 

I’m going to check into that seat. I really like the looks of that with that riders backrest.

I’ll more than likely ride it as is for the bars until I get some miles on her.

Where were you able to score the riders highway pegs that match the passenger pegs? I don’t recall seeing those in the catalog yet. Very possible I looked right over them though.   

Here’s a shot of the shield they sent me:

Well said Jerry.
Just sold my 2017. Did not trade in as usual.
I am looking at BMW. Test rode the K1600B!!   WOW  All I can say is WOW!!!
Fully understanding each brand has problems. Just tired of paying so much for a bike that requires so much more work!!!

For the record, my 2017 CVO Street glide sumped more times than I can remember. Every time I rode hard for a period of time it would sump.
Dealer said there is only a recall on 117 kits. I told them jugs have nothing to do with a sumping problem.
WTF Really!!!!

After 28 years of Harley ownership I did what your thinking about.

Now own a BMW  K1600B or Bagger. It's simply an amazing motorcycle. So much fun to ride.

I still like Harleys and may buy another at some point. If I do, it will be a 2001 or 2002 with carb. My expectations from the Harley would be completely different than my BMW. It would be for shorter rides. I've been burned too many times with late model Harleys and don't want to repeat those mistakes.

While the BMW owner experience is less than perfect, my dealer has been first rate at taking care of me. Could not ask for more.

Good luck
