Well I finally traded in my 09 Fat Bob last Saturday for an 11 Road Glide Ultra, and have to say I am glad I did. The ride is great just have to get used to the extra weight and such. Have V&H Performance duals and Monster Ovals on order and hopefully will be in soon, bike is way to quiet. Was glad to have found this site a lot of good reading. Just looking forward to the many rides ahead.

Congratulations, great looking bike.

How'd you do on the trade in on the Bob? I still have one (an 09 FB in Vivid black) in the garage, and just wondering what kind of value it has.

 

[DougK]

My FB was vivid black as well had 5800 miles on it got 13K which was happy for had gotten values a lot lower when was looking around.

congrats on the new bike, and welcome to the shark tank!

Sweet bike! I agree that the stock pipes are too quiet. I found an old set of SE Slip-on's in my garage and threw them on the bike until my custom pipes came in. It took about 2 1/2 months and would have driven me nuts keeping the stock pipes on the bike. Welcome.

 

[DougK]

Thanks for all the welcomes, looking forward to being in the tank.

Thanks that's about what I was thinking it would be worth, so we're in the ballpark, as it were.

Welcome DougK to the forum! I am new to touring bikes also and am enjoying every minute of it. Have told my friends if I knew these bikes were so much better riding I would have got one a long time ago.

Got Pipes, A/C on and what a difference with that still waiting on the fuelpak but sound and performance is exactly what I was looking for. I was surprised how good it sounded without the fuelpak so hopefully will just richen it up as needed.

Since so many in Western PA, we may need to get a ride organized.

Sweet ride, great mods. Welcome to the tank. Enjoy your ride.

I'm really enjoying mine - I know you will, too! It's probably running VERY lean with the new pipes/ac, so get that fuel management quick!

 

[DougK]

I agree with getting fuel management soon, have limited my riding until it comes in plus weather has not been cooperating 32 this morning.
