A different angle than what??? The RG Custom?? If so not true. No difference in the angle of the fairing in the RG line. Only difference is when you go from 2009 to 2010. In 2010 the fairing was raised and tilted back a bit.

A different angle than the entire rest of the bike and the world around it. The character line makes it look like it's come loose at the rear, tilted forward, and is about to fall off the bike. No offence intended to anyone's ride... if they made a 2014, I would have considered one ...but the fairing is as awkwardly designed as this sentence. The tour pack, by being a large misshapen box mounted unnecessarily high on the back of the bike, balances out the profile.

My bad...

I reckon the different windshield makes it look different.

I had a 2011 FLTRU, and never liked the nose-up angle... reckon I thought the customs had different brackets.

Hell I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again....

Just weighed mine (happened to be sitting in my dining room) and the weight is 46 lbs. Its off a '15 Ultra Limited.
