Just got mine!
Just picked up my 2005 RG on Saturday. First impressions: I like
it! I got it about 250 miles from home and it was a pretty sweet ride back. It was a theft recovery bike that had the fairing removed by the dirtbags. The guy I bought it from had purchased it from the insurance company and replaced the fairing. Mechanically it's in excellent shape but there are a couple minor things that need addressing: 1. Fuel gauge doesn't work. It's getting power. When I start the bike, it goes to 1/2 tank and stays there regardless of the fuel level. Two questions on this. Any hints on where to start looking? also, is the low fuel light triggered by the same sender as the gauge? Since it's injected and thus has no reserve, I really need to get this working to feel comfortable. 2. Ambient air temp gauge not working. Either that or it was below zero on Saturday. Again, any hints on where to start would be helpful. 3. Cruise control switch is broken. Anyone with a parts manual have a part number for this? 4. There appears to be a bad connection somewhere in the stereo system. When not running, the stereo works fine. When I'm riding, it cuts in and out. 5. No headlight cover (lens). Anyone know a part number for this? Other than those things, it's in really great shape. I'm really looking forward to doing as much riding as possible on it.

Thanks, I created the stripe in Adobe Illustrator and a local sign shop cut it for me. Then I outlined it w/ pinstripe tape to match the factory stripes. $25 for the stripe, $5 for the pinstripe tape.

I've always been a fan of the RoadGlide. Here, I sit with a RK wanting an aftermarket fairing and stereo.
I love my scoot, there's no change on the horizon.
