Thanks,
No nothing yet. Just my third ride.
Levers seem ok, more the roll of the throttle.
I did have a bit of this issue early on with the vStrom, I think my hand just got use to it.
I also did a thing!

Have you rode it yet?
Hey Mike,
Personally, I prefer the Road Glide over Street Glide/Ultra. Fixed fairing cuts the air smoother.
Look at anything 2009 or newer. Older versions have issues with the frame affecting steering shake while turning.
Not sure when they updated the panniers to open easier. Might be 2012 or newer.
96 twin cam and 6 spd Transmission carries them down the road just fine.
Changing the drive belt is a chore. Otherwise, easy to maintain and nice to ride along the freeways.

But you forgot to mention how ugly Roadglides are!
I prefer the batwing (Streetglide) fairing.
There is a reason so many riders have VStroms!But you forgot to mention how ugly Roadglides are!

Street glide looks the best for sure.
Many friends ride Ultras and then get the removable top box and change out the seat for the street glide look. Then the street glide riders, end up getting a comfortable seat for the squeeze and back rest and then top box……
This would be my ideal pick if I go back to HD for a touring machine. Then again a road glide classic with laced rims catches my eye too.
I went on the York, Pennsylvania Harley Davidson factory tour in 2018 (not willingly mind you) and it's funny that they're very strict on not allowing any photo's to be taken inside the factory. During the tour they said the frames on the big cruisers have been the same since 2008/9. Good thing I'm not taking any photos, don't want to give away any tech secrets.
