Glad you liked it but I think HD missed it on the redo. Should have put the infotainment where the tach and speedo are and tach and speedo in the fairing. It's a reach to mash buttons or touch screens at the bottom of the windshield. Just my opinion.

That's what the handlebar controls are for. I never touch my 6.5

I liked the handlebar position, my only issue was the screen being so far away it was difficult to read at times due to glare.

That is why it sucks riding motorcycles anymore. (re-reasd what you wrote)....and then sit back for a minute.

(Make sense yet?)

After reading everything I can find online about the 15 the only concern I have is the handlebars. Looks kinda like a wheel barrel in the pics on Harley's website. I can't wait to go test ride a Road Glide Special and a Street Glide Special in the next few weeks.

Trying to picture what a set of 16" apes and extended bags would look like.
Peaked my interest, but I'll be looking for a gently used garage queen instead.

It would have been nice if the OP had actually put some useful information. So far all we know is it has handlebars and a far away radio.

Big question is how is the buffeting, or lack of, with the new vent system.
