I've never tried a Mustang Seat. I had the Sundowner on the Street Glide and it fit me perfectly. No problems riding 4-500 miles a day.

I had 50K on the roadglide when I traded her in. The dealership gave me a DEAL I COULDNT REFUSE!!!! Just waiting for the next road trip. Leigh and I did 3K miles in 6 days last October. Thats how I got the Ultra, Momma Comfort.

I'm suprised you didn't go with the Road Glide Ultra. It seems that when most people go to the Shark Nose, they never go back.
Both bikes are perfect for several thousand mile trips.

I would have, but the $3K difference did it for me. That is allot of mods for the Ultra.

Very true! I didn't know they were that much more. If you don't have one already and you're a GPS fan, I would look into a Zumo GPS unit. It was the best money I spent on a motorcycle.

I have never ridden with a GPS. I still like the old method of getting lost and finding your way.

I wish I could do that. I just get lost and stay lost.

There are plenty of times that I wish I could stay lost.

Yup. Bought my Wide Glide in '99 and she's never leaked a drop.

I am trying to talk Leigh into a road trip to north GA and TN this summer. Dont know if it will happen with the Wedding in October.

I also do all my own work. I did my 1K for $120 (synthetic oil) and an hour of my time.

I rode the Natchez Trace Pkwy out that way a couple of years ago. Beautiful country.

I have done most of the riding roads in South TN, GA, NC and SC. Just love the area and people.

I will usually pick CO over anything else. It's beautiful out there. I also would like to go farther out west too sometime. I haven't gone any farther east than Nashville on the bike so far.

Looking at the lack of snow in the background, you should've enjoyed a ride! Glad you got it ready!

No snow. The two houses behind us are white, but now that I look closer it does look like snow since it's blurred out.
I did get a ride it. Had to warm it up before chaning fluids!
