    Does that mean I will have to throw in some hot cams in my Streety to keep up with you ????

    On a serious note,, what I have read and heard , the M8 with a set of pipes of your liking, (to get the Harley sound your after), the stock A/C does the job,, a good tune if you want ,, this should satisfy the Stage 2 people of previous models ....

    Got 500Ks on my 17 RG with stock Pipes and A/C, China you explained the M8 very well, What I don't like is the heat on the right foot from the rear header so will be waiting on an after market full system like the Rinehart exhaust that the rear header pipe heads straight back towards the rear of the bike and not down near the cam chest. Also some slightly taller bars

    Seat is excellent I know I wouldn't change it just for me but if I get the Wife out she may need a bit more padding on the back, Handling is very good I didn't have any issues up in the hills and twisties around here.

    Winner winner chicken dinner, I say

    Road tested the M8 SG on Saturday, and was gob smacked by how good it was to ride. This was the ABW bosses' own ride, to which he had added SE Street Cannons (very nice note without being too offensive), CVO Turbine wheels, and a wrap around front guard, Ticked all of the boxes for me in regards of suspension, comfort and power up through the Adelaide hills in rainy conditions. Obviously, that's only a first impression, and time will tell if the new innovations stand up to serious kays. But then, I'm only a lowly softail rider, as all the current bagger punters will tell you. All I would suggest, would be to book a ride and throw a leg over one to generate your own opinion. Mine arrives mid November, and I can't wait to take it on a serious ride. If you want to wait a year to find out if they suffer from first model blues, your loss!

    I have 2 street glides and love em' BUT, I followed Ando's lead and tried a road glide M8. I now own a road glide . It's a great bike. Excellent handling and smooth as!
    Just need some bolt ons like pipes and air cleaner. Maybe cam later - here we go again!!
