Cons? It’s a Harley Davidson. It’s been about less is more. You can say a lot about Harley’s ability to get it together as a financial juggernaut, but their bikes are absolutely beautiful. They are often mimicked, but never duplicated. Their characteristic tractor’ish ride and huge dealership network filled with a positive motorcycling culture are also second to none. Their bikes are not tech laden or complicated and why many do really love them and some loathe them. Lately people compare a Harley RG to the Indian Challenger. Indian’s done a great job but it sounds like a sewing machine. It’s paint is lacking and uses a lot of plastic. Harley’s got a special spirit, paint work second to none, and fit and finish that see the use more metal than plastic and they create such a stunning good looking bike. IMHO. I’m repeating myself. Congrats. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.
Thanks man! Windscreen works pretty well at my height, if I were doing long trips every weekend I would have gotten the touring version though. I still get a little wind at the top of my head, whereas if I went taller I would’ve had no wind at all.
Jon Howard How tall are you? I’m 6’, I have a ‘18 road glide special wicked red, got the 12” clock Werks but still need a bit more, I saw yours and thought that it would be perfect! You say it still buffet a bit! I could go up to about 1” under my line of sight, is the 14” about there? If you are about 6’ that is.
Im not a Fairing kinda guy i dont even like superbikes because of fairings why hide the beating heart of a bike? Im sure if i rode the bike id love how it rides and handles etc. But the fairing would have to go which makes it kinda pointless me buying one. The road kings ok though

Damn!!!! WELL SAID....LITERALLY 🎯💯
Love that paint. I have been really happy with my 2020 RGS. 2000 issue free miles so far.
They're great bikes! Ride safe

Heel Shifter is about $80
CARNEASAH DUDEEEE
Just bought new one myself fantastic bike windshield is insult to Harley-Davidson have no idea why they got that
Yeah I agree, first thing I replaced. The rest of the bike is amazing. Harley sure knows how to make a touring bike!
How is the paint working out? I’m torn between this and the zephyr blue...
Works great! Only complaint is that since there isn't any metallic flake in the blue, the surface scratches show real easy in the sun.
What size is your windscreen?
Sorry, 14” you just answered after I pressed send! Love that color combo!

I’m about 6’1. If I were you I’d go for the 15”, I still get buffeting with the 14”.
Jon Howard ahh ok cool, thanks!
Ultra limited much better bike for the type of riding I do also more bike for the money!
True! I just couldn't pass up the paint.

Nice motorcycle. Infotainment is still very far from the rider.
Yeah no kidding! I usually just set the music before I ride, then use the thumb switches to toggle through. I haven't used the GPS at all.
Wow, that fairing front is ugly. It looks like some kind of ghastly home-made thing. It is even worse when viewed from the side.
