@@sweetrides8418 Hey, when you added your slip-on exhaust did you get any surging at idle? Since I've added my slip -on COBRA mufflers on my Road Glide ST every now and then I get some surging at idle, the engine idles up a little then Idols back down; I think I may need to get a tuner on the bike. I was told that you didn't need a tuner if you just put on slip-on mufflers and don't change out the head pipe, but I think I may need to put on the Screaming Eagle tuner.

Its good that you are enjoying your RG ST. Looks great. For whatever it’s worth in a comments section I prefer the Street Glide over the Road Glide. I own an SG Special, and there were a few things I didn’t like when riding the Road Glide. The distance between rider and dashboard made me feel detached from the bike, and riding it reminded me of steering a boat!. All subjective criteria, but that’s why motorcycles are an emotional purchase!.

I haven't ridden a 117 but I have to say the 114, especially with slip ons and a tune, has lots of low end power which is where I like it. Passing vehicles on 2 lane roads is a breeze. Love the bike.

If you have a problem buffering, get a curved windshield. I have a Long Ride shield I really like. The curve whips the wind up, it performs like a taller shield.

Mine has blue tooth, I don't know why they does not.

A Road Glide is better than a Street Glide, so no mistake made. If you ride a Street Glide, you might as well be riding a Road King. It's the fairing that makes the Road Glide what it is. I've owned my 2016 since 2017 and have no intention of trading it in on a Milwaukee 8 Road Glide because there's no need. The fairing is the same, the look is the same, the power isn't the same, but a Twin Cam can always be re-powered to stay on par with a Milwaukee 8 107, or 117. So the moral of the story is that once you find what works, you can always make it better with no need to trade it in for the "latest and greatest."

Very nice!!! I was debating between this or Street Glide ST. After test riding it, It just doesn't feel right for me, so I got the Street Glide ST in Sand Pearl White instead. It feels right and It looks so much better than all the colors after asking the delear to line them up together so I can pick the one that stands out the most and the paint has that elegant look . It makes other colors look graveyard and dull. Like night and day, great job Harley, finally making an improvement and performance you can actually feel especially with the SE stage II and SE Ohlins reservoir shocks, Tuner and Trask intake. I hope they redesign the down syndrome front look of the Road Glide. It feels so much better than 114 for sure and I like how it comes with the performance cams from the factory. Nice video!!!! I like that grey also. Ride safe.

Hi Patrick, thanks for watching and your coments, more on the way soon 🙂

Harley, Sports Tourer? - How German is that! Oh the CEO of the Harley is German so he can call his bikes as Sports Tourer now 😂. The next model will perhaps be "The Autobahn" version 😀.

Hi Randy, OK so I can Bluetooth my phone to the bike and control which tracks to play, but I can’t control the volume on the bike, only on the headset. Also the bike doesn’t send to the headset, so no sound on maps etc, unless I use the maps on my phone, but then I can’t see the directions and can only listen to them. All seems a bit of a hash really, I don’t understand why Harley can’t provide a fully functioning system like evoother manufacturer. Anyway thanks for the advice, at least I can now change tracks without fiddling with my headset 👍

Thought you might say that, I think Harley will need to put a water cooled engine in their tourers soon

Harley Davidson is falling behind again by not advancing their Revolution Max engine platform. Everyone has cooler running liquid cooled bikes that are less labor intensive. The days of overly hot air cooled motors with pushrods, huge primary chains in oil and bottom end cams are dead. I think HD has to deplete old tooling and parts before the conversion.
