Welcome home ! Go ahead and "Pull the Trigger" . You know you want one.
I had a Liner before this 2008 Roady but the sound of this thing still puts a smile on my face. The only draw back to me is the small gas tank.

small tank? Ya gotta be kidding. Carb tuned correctly, got a 200 mile range, and then some. How many trips do you take that you don't get out of the saddle for 200 miles? Shoot, for me after 160, 170 straight miles, my butt appreciates a short 10min. break, and might as well be where I can fill up.

Many with the fuel injected models are only getting about 150 miles on a tank. I know we lost a little with the fuel pump in the tank.
Maybe I'm just spoiled with the 6.5 gallon tank on my FJR

Do you like the RS more than the Roadliner? I have read very good reviews on the Roadliner.

Depends if you want a very customizable platform. If so, it's the Road Star.

There's so much aftermarket stuff out there, it's amazing...
