    I've owned a lot of Harleys since 1976, but i bought a new 2018 Road Glide Special and it's my favorite bike of all. Love taking road trips on it. 500 miles a day is no problem on this bike.

    I see another bike in the garage here shortly. Bought a road glide for my 27th bday, so 6 years ago, and haven’t looked back. No regerts, not even one letter.

      I used to think road glides were ugly. The redesign wasn't much but enough for me to no longer hate them along with my wife liking them too.

    Hey guys, I have to agree with the majority of your comments. I rode Softails, Dyna’s for years and love them bar hoppers are great for short distance riding. I been on a street glide for sometime and love it, long distance comfort and great for short rides, it’s nice to throws clothes, jackets, etc into the hard bags or attach a luggage rack for long hauls. You won’t regret the switch 😎

    You gotta love a Road Glide! I traded a ‘14 Street Glide Special for a ‘21 Road Glide Special, viva la difference! Did a stage 2 upgrade with Power Dual headers and VH slip-ons, dyno tuned to 110 hp and 124 lbft. Plenty of go power for this old Okie biker!

    I've gotta say thank you, first of all. I just ordered new lights from Eagle Lights that I saw on your channel using your promo code & saved $50! I truly love your videos, especially anything to do with a Road Glide. I'm a first time Harley owner so the more ideas I get to make the bike mine the better.

    Hey guys..Road glides OR street glide for sure. Im a big fan of both. I will tell though the ultra classics are the Cadillacs of comfort for two.You can take mine out for a spin. But for solo riding, the road or the street glide is the 🐈 meow. 😎

But I did do it first few months it took some getting used to it.but then something weird happened I jumped back on softail and was like who's bike is this. I had gotten use to the bagger and I didn't know strangest thing. Now I get on the EG and home 🏡 Eric remember I bought the 2001 EG standard went through almost the whole thing anyway I'm rambling.

    They look fantastic, the wife would love touring on one, amazing what a huge difference something as simple as lights do to change the look of a bike. There's one I've been looking at in Manchester Harley-Davidson England, it's had a reverse gear added to it, a very useful addition.

    Currently on a Road King (in Texas) and a Fat Boy (in IN). Love my Road King, enjoy riding the Fat Boy. Looking at a Street Glide... I think I would prefer the batwing turning with the handlebars (Street Glide) vs. the fairing standing still (road glide). Curious as to what feedback you and your Beautiful People have on the differences apart from aesthetics and personal preference.

    • @VPCustoms
      @VPCustoms  ปีที่แล้ว +1
