    That color combo is the best and that's a beautiful machine.

    I bought a 2001 dyna fxdx 2 years ago, and ive got $25k into it not including the cost of the bike. I have zero self control. S&S 124, inverted front end, trac dynamics swingarm, and everything else thats possible. Now im looking at a road glide. Shits gettin real bad lol.

    What puzzles me is the road glide people like yourself that loves the lowers and puts on the tour pack. Why not just buy the Road Glide Limited. All that comes with it for a better price point plus you get the liquid cooled heads. First time viewer nice video

    So so right on you nailed it bro! I’ve been there especially with the windshield. What May look kool in a catalog doesn’t always fit the theme of your bike. I wish Harley had more options when you go to buy a bike . They give you a bunch of mediocre parts that end up as dust collectors. Better off with a used bike that has most of what you want and save some dolleros. Nice Road Glide btw.

You can't put much in them including a full face helmet. People think the razors and chopped look better. It's a box on the back of your bike!! You might as well make it as useful as possible. I tell all new riders to ride for a while before making any changes. You may think you want 1 thing but a month later you realize you want something else

      @@Tumble96 I have two bikes and love it. I’m going to do my rear suspension soon but not in a hurry.

    Owning a Victory does save me some money...By my calculations somewhere between $30-40,000 dollars. 🤣

    lol when you own a victory with more power and better transmission for like a third….. you’ll have a lot of money for all the customizations you desire.

      I love Victory. And you’re right, I’ll definitely have a lot of money because I won’t find much for that bike. I’m sticking with my Harley 🤣🤣🤣

    I made so many purchases and returned them.. but riding gear more so than accessories. Are you running stock suspension? If so, do you plan to upgrade the suspension and to what? Keep the content coming, love it!

      I will definitely upgrade suspension but no time soon. I’m fine with what I have for now. Im thinking about Ohlins suspension
