I have had a 2006 Road Glide, 2013 Road Glide Ultra, and now have a black 2016 Road Glide Ultra. I have enjoyed everyone one of them. It would be nice to have the Milwaukee 8. But I am perfectly happy with my 2016. One more year to full retirement then it’s on to enjoying the open road and the RV life. Great video. And thank you for your service.
Wow Richard , 3 Road Glides, awesome man! My brother has a 2015 Road Glide and loves his as well. They seem to be Great riding machines regardless of the engine. Thanks for watching and commenting. Be safe!
I’ve got the 2018 Road Glide Ultra and agree with your review 100%... I also have had 2 Batwing farings, 2010 Ultra Classic and 2015 Ultra Limited. Loved both bikes but really like the shark nose. Watching the video makes me want to ride! Gotta wait till tomorrow!
LOL, Was reading the comments while watching the video. As soon as I saw you mention the keyhole I thought, he must've been a motor....did 13 years on the bike, started on the KZs and finished on the BMW. Now just a few more to go and I'll be on the road like you and Clay. You two stay safe and keep the videos coming.
Bought my 2018 RGS in February last year. Put 9k miles in about 10 months. Absolutely love this bike. Upgraded from a 2006 Dyna Low Rider. Yea big jump but well worth it. Very much in joying your content, new sub here. I too live around Atl and would ride with you fine folks one day. Ride Safe and Ride Often.
I rented a 2018 Road Glide for a day just to try one out. Loved it and agree with you on how this bike handles. Great video and I just caught some of your Atlanta PD vlogs and just wanted to say thanks for your service to our great city. Enjoy your retirement! Ride safe.
Thanks GA Ramblin Man! Appreciate you watching! Yeah, I am enjoying the Road Glide and the ride it provides. Had a great run at the APD, thanks again man!
I love my 2017 RGS in superior blue. I almost bought the ultra. I have accessorized my bike with all the comforts for the long trips. Very happy with my purchase. You have great video coverage. Keep up the good work.
Man, I just bought a 19 a week ago. Your right on about the fixed fairing, it’s a lot smoother for interstate riding then the bat wing fairing. I had a 06 Street Glide, it would wobble like crazy especially with my wife on back, but now with the Road glide, it’s smooth sailing lol! Good Video and nice review brother 👍
I also have a 2018 Road Glide with about 3,500 miles on it now and I love it. You're absolutely right it's definitely a very stable bike at highway speeds even with the wind gusts... it is so comfortable, fun, and confident to ride. I did put some slip-on Crusher Mufflers on mine though, with stock headers. The slip-ons made it a little bit louder, not too much, but gave it a much deeper exhaust note. When you're on the throttle it is definitely louder but when you're idling or cruising down the highway it's not much louder than stock. My wife gives me a hard time about it cuz she likes loud exhaust and says it sounds like a kitten... we also have a Honda VTX that she rides now with Vance & Hines Big Shots on it and that bike is loud. Honestly I don't really want a loud bike like that anymore because I still want to enjoy the radio when I'm cruising down the road and that loud exhaust note just gets tiring after a long day of riding. So if you ever do itch for a little more sound out of your Road Glide just put some slip-ons on and don't touch the header.
Hey Jeff! Yes sir, loving my RG. About to take a long trip to Colorado next month on it. I am thinking about putting on some slip-on just for that little deeper sound. I too enjoy my music and conversation with our head set, so dont want it too loud. All the best to you!
I traded in a 2014 Ultra Limited on a 2018 Road Glide Ultra and I've not regretted it for one day. I think it's a better bike at a lower cost, which makes it a win/win in my opinion.
I have the exact same bike. I test drove many different Harley and had a 2013 Road Glide Custom. But the Ultra Road Glide just fit me better I liked the handle bars a lot better the bike fits me I am 5' 8" and have no problems. I did put a set of Cobra slip on's and a high flow air filter in the stock air filter box It also has all led lights on it now. Great Review Ride Safe!.
Good video bro, I thought I was gon have a problem riding a roadglide. I got use to it fast, like u said your eyes look over the fairing. Head and eyes the bike gonna go where you looking. I have a 09 roadglide with air cleaner, D&D 2 into 1 pipe with a tune on it and i love it. Im looking forward to getting a ultra soon . It would be more comfortable for my daughter and my wife. Be safe bro.
Thanks Angry Motor Man! Yes, I’m loving this RG as well. Just got back from a Fl trip with it and really enjoyed it! My wife loves the Ultra dear, backrest etc.... yours will too! Be safe out there man! Thanks for watching!
I just bought a 2019 RGU, the suspension vs my 2012 is 10x better. Still trying to adapt to the new single cam. It's more balanced, dual plugs, 8 valves, and much improved 02 fuel system. It has more power throught the rpm range. It feels slower but the speedo says otherwise..
The videos just keep getting better!! Thanks for the review...With the Milwaukee 8 107ci water cooled, how is the heat? Any issues in sit & go traffic? Also to, you hit on the fact about the faring being fixed....the difference on the bat wing, is the faring is affixed to the front forks, with the one you have, which is affixed to the motorcycle frame. The difference, which you pointed out, is that the bat wing moves the steering with wind gusts. The frame fixed faring "cuts" through the wind because its mounted to the motorcycle itself!! Thanks for the review, been thinking about getting one myself!!
Hey Terry! The cooling system is a supplemental cooling system so it still gets warm during prolonged stops etc....Thanks for watching man! Loving this bike! Be safe man!
Hey. just found you guys on UA-cam ,really enjoying your videos. Excellent job on cam angles and editing. For the hydraulic clutch lever there are adjustable levers available to change the friction point. Hog levers and kuryakyn are some. Keep the video's coming. Ride safe.
Thanks Mark, I recently heard that Harley is also working on a fix so adjustments can be made. That is the only issue I have with this bike. Take care out there.
New to the channel and working my way through your vlogs. Great work really enjoy the multiple camera angles, and your positivity exudes from your voice. I too have a 2018 RGU and really enjoy it! Looking forward to more of the Colorado adventures. Safe travels!
Great and I mean GREAT VIDEO!! Fantastic camera work. Better than any Harley dealers review videos I've seen. (Great RV videos as well.) I Subscribed!! I have a 2015 HD CVO Limited. I also love RVing. What are your thoughts on the 2019/20 Thor Outlaw Class A toyhauler. I'm considering purchasing one (38MB). Thank you for your videos, I enjoy watching them.
Thanks Reejam123. Im sure you are enjoying the CVO! I don't know much about the Thor Outlaw other than I like the concept of having your toys with you and you can still tow a car....I would just do some research on that coach (Im sure you probably have) and go from there. But, anything that helps get you out and seeing this great county!! Let me know if you make the purchase! Take care, stay safe and thanks for subbing!
My HD dealer service guys lied to me. They said this bike only has the fans but no coolant or radiators lol. I knew when I bought it that it must have one some where, good news for me that you showed where they are. I was told it was twin cooled just by only fans LOL.
I just bought a 18 RGS a few weeks ago coming from a 16 SG and didnt really notice a difference around semi trucks but do notice the handling is better on the RGS. I have read and heard the shark nose was far better in all areas so i rode one and bought it. I mainly bought it for the color and the slow speed handling and the air pocket is different but i will need a taller windscreen
Great Josh, I’m thinking about doing a demo next week with the 2019’s and their 114cc engine. Not looking to purchase, very happy with my 107, just want to feel the difference. Be safe and enjoy the RGS!
You should have one in your collection. With modern mods they still are the best the moco ever produced... I have a '85 fxrp and a 86 fxr custom. And a 2014 Street Glide... ⚡️
I have a 2018 Road Glide Special. I find the suspension is not that great. I was thinking about changing to legend suspension. Any thoughts? Great channel and great video editing especially the drone footage.
Hey Jeff, I like the Legend Air Suspension package. Not sure about their coil package. I have heard a lot of good things about that Air Ride, just don't have any personal experience with it yet. Ride safe man!
I just changed to revo-A from Legend on my 2018 Street glide and went to the 13 inch instead of 12 inch, I gained an inch of travel! Love them! Highly recommend.
From San Antonio, love your channel! I was wondering how tall you are. I am 6'4 and was wondering if you chose the Road Glide for a bit more 'space'. I love the looks and will probably pull the trigger on a 2019 soon. I have been riding a BMW but need more long-distance comfort. Stay safe and keep on posting! Steve
Hey Steve, thanks for watching man! I am 5’ 11” and this bike fits me well. With your height, you might would want to get a “tall boy” seat which puts the rider back several inches. But for me it works. Thanks again and be safe out there in TX!
I'm 6'2" and space is exactly one of the things I like about the Road Glide. The fairing and lowers are well out in front of you giving you the feeling of a stretched out bike. Nothing is encroaching on your knees. The riding position is relaxed although the low seat height does mean your hips are rotated more, but that doesn't bother me. Highway pegs give long legs room to stretch, and these work better with Harleys than any other bike I've tried due to the narrow profile of the twin engine. Also the floorboards give you room to move your feet around. I'm 62, so I also like a rider's backrest. I added the Sirius/XM module and heated grips, and a taller shield from Freedom Shields, which I can't say enough good things about, and that's it.
Only complaint about the clutch is that in traffic you will build Popeye forearm on the left arm, other than that my 18 Electra Glide is great. Saw your video on the 19 Road Glide and I am like you I really couldn’t see trading my 18 for a 19 although the new radio looks pretty good
Nice Bike, Harley Davidson has stepped it up! Cool helmet, I didn’t know Arai made a touring helmet. I thought your helmet was a Nolan, it looks like my N-102 because of the outside tinted half visor. I am sure your bike has cruise control, heated grips and a heated seat for Ms Clay, but is a reverse gear an option? I am a BMW guy, don’t hold it against me. That bike looks as heavy as my LT. I am looking to purchase an Exclusive, but my wife who is a fan also of your videos also, may want to test ride a Road Glide Ultra also. Great video, I can’t wait to see what you do next.
Hey Eugene, Yes sir, I love that Arai, most comfortable helmet I have owned. We don't have reverse on the RG. Hey, I know a lot of guys who ride BMW's, I'v owned 2 Gold Wings myself. All are great rides in my humble opinion. Stay safe and as always, thanks for watching!
I bought a 2018 RGU and just had the 1000 mile service done a few weeks ago. My biggest complaint, and my wife's, is the heat rising up under the right passenger floor board. That's where Harley put the catalytic converter and it had to go. After installing a new head pipe, S&S MK45 mufflers, Arlen Ness inverted big sucker air filter kit and a V&H fuelpak 3 the heat has been reduced a good bit. The bike pulls harder on the low end now as a bonus since I was only looking to get rid of the cat and get the engine to breath better which both help to reduce heat. Did your RGU come with the driver back rest? I asked about that at the dealer and they said if it wasn't on the bike then no it did not come with one and they also did not give me a liner for my tour pack only the two side saddles.
We haven't felt that kind of heat from the catalytic converter, so that hasnt been an issue yet. I did add the rider backrest after I purchased it. Just got back from Nashville and we are really enjoying this bike. Sorry you didnt get the bag liners, we use those on every trip. Enjoy the RG and be safe!
I didn’t get any of the liners with mine. I didn’t care because I still had a set from a previous bike. But the ultras are supposed to come with liners and one plug-headset that’s useless.
Great video! I just picked up a 2019 limited. First bike I ever owned. Do you find it stressful riding on the hwy? I’ve only riden a few times and prefer the backroads vs hwy. maybe it’s because I’m new to riding but all the traffic and 18 wheelers kinda stress me out. Anyway of coming over that I guess just ride and learn the bike but any tricks?
Hey Paul, sorry for my delayed response, been on the road, congrats on the purchase of your bike! I suggest to ride where you feel most comfortable, then expand to the interstates in short dozes, short rides, you will grow more comfortable with time. Enjoy the bike my friend!
I HAVE A 2017 ROAD GLIDE SPECIAL! WHEN FOLKS TELL ME ABOUT THE FIXED FAIRING I TELL EM, AINT NO DIFFERENT THAN DRIVING YOUR CAR AND THE DASH NOT MOVING! HAHA!
I really like the communication you have in the video when you're in a group, is that the cardo system? I know the harley sets are sena manufactured. Do the cardo pair with the Infotainment system so you hear the gps and phone same as the communications.
Mark, yes we use the Cardo pack talk bold. We do not have them paired with the Harley infotainment. It’s my understanding that you can with an add on from HD. We just pair our phones to the Cardo system. Hope that answers your question.
Chip, I think so, the Ultra Limited (Batwing) has basically the same specs according the H-D Website. Just about the same length, same fork rake etc..... I can do the Key Hole (18 ft turn, or 2 parking lot spaces) with this Road Glide. Would love to jump on a course with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Do your speakers ever hurt your ears like make it hard to understand words or the actual songs? If I turn mine up even half way or little less my ears hurt so bad, I messed with the treble and base but no change much really. Thoughts?
Hey Scotty, you know, I never use my stereo at highway speeds. I always use my Cardo Headset with speakers in my helmet and my iPhone. I will say that Im not overly impressed with the sound that I get from the bike's stereo.
@@TollesonLife Good to know. I'll probably pick up a headset. I'm not a fan of the stereo either and not really feel like putting 1k $ worth into an upgrade lol. At low speeds it's not bad anything under 55mph.

Thanks Salvatore! I enjoy this bike!
I bought the exact bike in October of 2018. I agree with you on all points. I'm very, very pleased with it!
Hey GS Wilson! Awesome! Glad to hear it. Still loving mine too!
I’ve got the 2018 Road Glide Ultra and agree with your review 100%... I also have had 2 Batwing farings, 2010 Ultra Classic and 2015 Ultra Limited. Loved both bikes but really like the shark nose. Watching the video makes me want to ride! Gotta wait till tomorrow!

Ralph, thanks man. I like that superior blue! Great rides for sure! Appreciate you watching!
Man, I just bought a 19 a week ago. Your right on about the fixed fairing, it’s a lot smoother for interstate riding then the bat wing fairing.

this bike is a big dream for a lot of people ...so take of our dream between your hands 😊😊😊

Good deal DH. Still loving mine too!
Just bought a 2019 can't wait to try it
Congrats Carla👍 enjoy!
I’m riding a 2018 Ultra Limited...love it!! Ride safe, bike looks great!!
Great bike my friend. Is the weather allowing you guys to ride yet?
Tolleson Life Thanks, yes I have been out a few times, maybe a total of 1000kms still a lot of cold and rainy days yet this spring!!
I have the exact same bike. I test drove many different Harley and had a 2013 Road Glide Custom. But the Ultra Road Glide just fit me better I liked the handle bars a lot better the bike fits me I am 5' 8" and have no problems. I did put a set of Cobra slip on's and a high flow air filter in the stock air filter box It also has all led lights on it now. Great Review Ride Safe!.
Awesome man! Yea, thats a great bike! I still haven't added anything to mine and may not. Appreciate you watching! Stay safe out there!
I have the 2018 RG Special. Love the bike. Love your videos!

Thank you. I have a 05 RK I will be purchasing a RG in the near future.
Good choice!

Great and I mean GREAT VIDEO!! Fantastic camera work. Better than any Harley dealers review videos I've seen. (Great RV videos as well.) I Subscribed!! I have a 2015 HD CVO Limited.

Great pic of the Fxrp!
Man, I loved that ol bike. Thanks for watching!
You should have one in your collection. With modern mods they still are the best the moco ever produced... I have a '85 fxrp and a 86 fxr custom. And a 2014 Street Glide... ⚡️
Wow, thats awesome man!
When I like to ride I hope it is this one, nice powerful and quiet.
Blesses
Hey Lewaaolislam, I have really enjoyed this bike, just returned from a 1500 mile ride and loved it!
@@TollesonLife Ride and stay safe as always
I have a 2018 Road Glide Special. I find the suspension is not that great. I was thinking about changing to legend suspension. Any thoughts? Great channel and great video editing especially the drone footage.
Hey Jeff, I like the Legend Air Suspension package. Not sure about their coil package. I have heard a lot of good things about that Air Ride, just don't have any personal experience with it yet. Ride safe man!
Thanks brother
That's because the Special is the same set up as a Street Glide Special and that bike doesn't ride all that well either.
I just changed to revo-A from Legend on my 2018 Street glide and went to the 13 inch instead of 12 inch, I gained an inch of travel! Love them! Highly recommend.
Hi, how are you doing? Your videos are always amazing. What's the difference with the Ultra Limited ? Ciao.
I'm getting the Yamaha Eluder, so I can find my bike at bike week ; )
The Eluder appears to be a nice bike also. Yamaha's version of the Street Glide. I like the 113 cu that it has. Hope you enjoy many miles on it CG!
Great Video 👍🏿
Thanks Victor!
From San Antonio, love your channel! I was wondering how tall you are. I am 6'4 and was wondering if you chose the Road Glide for a bit more 'space'.

Yeah, Im still getting use to my clutch. Im good with my 107 for now, I have a 117 in my Big Dog Chopper, for when I have the need to be "snatched"
I have found any issues with the clutch in my 18 breakout 117ci nor any other 18 or 19 bagger I've rode.
Maybe yours needs some adjusting

Nice bike... I always loved Harley's and have owned 4 so far! of course like most, the 1st being a Sportster... Safe travels... John M.Kelly
Thank you John!
Great video
Thanks Dennis!
That’s my next ride, except I’m getting a CVO
Awesome Bruce. I'm sure you will love it!
I bought a 2018 RGU and just had the 1000 mile service done a few weeks ago. My biggest complaint, and my wife's, is the heat rising up under the right passenger floor board. That's where Harley put the catalytic converter and it had to go. After installing a new head pipe, S&S MK45 mufflers, Arlen Ness inverted big sucker air filter kit and a V&H fuelpak 3 the heat has been reduced a good bit. The bike pulls harder on the low end now as a bonus since I was only looking to get rid of the cat and get the engine to breath better which both help to reduce heat. Did your RGU come with the driver back rest? I asked about that at the dealer and they said if it wasn't on the bike then no it did not come with one and they also did not give me a liner for my tour pack only the two side saddles.
We haven't felt that kind of heat from the catalytic converter, so that hasnt been an issue yet. I did add the rider backrest after I purchased it. Just got back from Nashville and we are really enjoying this bike. Sorry you didnt get the bag liners, we use those on every trip. Enjoy the RG and be safe!
I didn’t get any of the liners with mine. I didn’t care because I still had a set from a previous bike. But the ultras are supposed to come with liners and one plug-headset that’s useless.
Хорошие у тебя видео, дружище👍
Great video! I just picked up a 2019 limited. First bike I ever owned. Do you find it stressful riding on the hwy? I’ve only riden a few times and prefer the backroads vs hwy. maybe it’s because I’m new to riding but all the traffic and 18 wheelers kinda stress me out. Anyway of coming over that I guess just ride and learn the bike but any tricks?
Hey Paul, sorry for my delayed response, been on the road, congrats on the purchase of your bike! I suggest to ride where you feel most comfortable, then expand to the interstates in short dozes, short rides, you will grow more comfortable with time. Enjoy the bike my friend!
The Road Glide has 2 nice sized storage pockets while the batwings have nothing but a too small cell phone pocket.
I HAVE A 2017 ROAD GLIDE SPECIAL! WHEN FOLKS TELL ME ABOUT THE FIXED FAIRING I TELL EM, AINT NO DIFFERENT THAN DRIVING YOUR CAR AND THE DASH NOT MOVING! HAHA!
Nice helmet I also have a Arai pretty handsome visor it's as good as they say , I think I'll buy that too 👍🏻
That helmet is my favorite of all the rest I have, wear it 95% of the time.
You are in my hometown. Grew up on Leguin Mill.
Oh yeah, Im sure you know the area well!
🌸WoW! you guys are riding in top notch style L😃L🌸
Lol ABZ! We are enjoying the ride for sure! Heading to St. Augustine this weekend on it! Thanks for watching and be safe out there.
I really like the communication you have in the video when you're in a group, is that the cardo system? I know the harley sets are sena manufactured. Do the cardo pair with the Infotainment system so you hear the gps and phone same as the communications.
Mark, yes we use the Cardo pack talk bold. We do not have them paired with the Harley infotainment. It’s my understanding that you can with an add on from HD. We just pair our phones to the Cardo system. Hope that answers your question.
I almost traded my road king in yesterday for one.
Me too. Lol still might.
Can someone tell me how chain maintenance is on a bike like this? Paddock stand the best option? I wish it was belt driven.
I wonder if you can still perform cone drills as good as a batwing ultra?
Chip, I think so, the Ultra Limited (Batwing) has basically the same specs according the H-D Website. Just about the same length, same fork rake etc..... I can do the Key Hole (18 ft turn, or 2 parking lot spaces) with this Road Glide. Would love to jump on a course with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Shark fairing is superior, lighter steering.
I use to be a cop to, nvr got a chance to be a motorcycle cop.
What brand full face helmet? Couldn't read the logo. Thanks
ARAI...figured it out.
Yes, It the Aria. Love it too man.
Have almost 19,000kms on my Ultra Limited...I see this video is a year old, what’s your mileage at now?
Hey MelloEllo, it has 10,000 miles now.
Do your speakers ever hurt your ears like make it hard to understand words or the actual songs? If I turn mine up even half way or little less my ears hurt so bad, I messed with the treble and base but no change much really. Thoughts?
Hey Scotty, you know, I never use my stereo at highway speeds. I always use my Cardo Headset with speakers in my helmet and my iPhone. I will say that Im not overly impressed with the sound that I get from the bike's stereo.
@@TollesonLife Good to know. I'll probably pick up a headset. I'm not a fan of the stereo either and not really feel like putting 1k $ worth into an upgrade lol. At low speeds it's not bad anything under 55mph.
Don't get v&h u won't be able to hear ur stereo.
Most bikes have fixed fairings.
Great video subscribe...
Thanks Dennis, appreciate you joining us!
Get rineharts bro
Helmet doesn't fit the bike.
Fits just fine.
