Khromewerks makes a great exhaust system. I love the sound they put out and they are not obnoxious loud.

It's a nice sound. Rumbly and grumbly. Perfect for an old man.

I agree with your comment regarding the infotainment. I almost never listen to the radio on my Roadglide Special. The GPS is invaluable.

I think you've heard me say it before that I rather listen to my engine & exhaust sound. I used my phone for gps on my Fatboy during my 2022 trips.

We never listen to the radio either, but the GPS is always on when traveling

I've never been on a Road Glide. May have to try one out.

I would recommend it. It seems to me people either love them or hate them. Lots of differing thoughts on the fixed fairing.

Thank goodness, I finally found a rider review on a Road Glide Special with the Fat Front Tire installed and road tested...I currently own a 2021 RGS in Billiard Teal and the fat front tire is one of my bike projects this year as the fat front tire really completes and complements the Road Glide's front stance, it just makes it look good... With regard to your observation and handling, I read that the fat 180x5.5x18 front tire adds a little bit of smooth ride vs the factory stock low profile 19" tire kit...I think the harshness that you are feeling when riding over road imperfections/pot holes, is due to the awful factory 12" rear suspension...I changed my stock rear suspension to the Legends REVO-A 13" and it make a world of difference and hopefully added an inch if lean angle...lol Just like you I am also price conscious and I bought mine factory stock with no upgrades my is still basically factory stock with the exception of the Cobra Neighbor haters mufflers and some LEDs lighting...even my fat tire kit is a collection of Arlen Ness kit and I am going to do the front fat tire kit install myself to save cost as less expensive as possible...lol...$36K+ for that bike is just way over priced IMO... About the only maneuver that I hope you did during the filming of your ride video is some parking lot U-turns as I head it could be a little tight due to the larger front tire...I am able to do the U-tern within 18 to 20 feet but I guess I have to practice after I install mine...good luck and ride safe and thank you for sharing...I take it you are from the Wisconsin I noticed the full leather riding gear...I live here in San Diego CA, and believe it or not, last Christmas, it was 80 degrees here however it is raining now in the 60s...Happy new year

Harley has terrible suspension. Probably the worst out there. I also will be putting legends on mine hopefully this summer. I don't understand why harley goes with such a poor suspension.

You said it added an inch of lean angle? I thought it reduced lean angle, I am glad you corrected my misunderstanding

@@theseversonexperience667 The factory stock rear suspension length is 12"...the REVO-A model that I installed is the 13", so its adds about an inch from stock... By the way, how did it feel doing a U-turn on the fat front tire RGS that you test rode?

I didn't ride the road glide with the fat tire so I can't help you with that one. I'm the guy in the background with the red street glide.

Wow. Thanks for all the wonderful comments and info. I'm sure adding better suspension to this bike would help a ton. Harley isn't known for great factory suspension to say the least. Doing some u-turns would have been great but to be honest I didn't think of it. Yes I am from WI and am jealous of your weather.

You don't have to reach for the screen to change stations etc., just master the switch gear on the handlebars.

Another great video. That was a fun day. I have mixed feelings on the fat tire kit.

I have mixed feelings too. It's cool and works well but it adds another cost to the bike that's not needed.
