Ty Buttman! We got a chance to get out today, what a beautiful day here in northern Utah! We passed the 1000 mile mark yesterday, new SE II's will be here Tuesday and we're hoping for more spring weather!

Okay, being an owner of an Ultra, I know I may be subjecting myself to criticism here -- but is anyone who owns a Road Glide bugged by the fact that the fairing stripe doesn't match with the stripe on the tank? It is as if two different engineers designed this, and missed the match up on the paint scheme.
However, this does not apply to the SE version -- Terry's bike, for example, shows that the eagle matches up as the detail goes down the side of the bike... And very nicely, I might say.
It just seems that this is an oversight which could really improve the fluid look of the bike from the side... Again, just my opinion.
Thoughts on this???

Yes, I agree and it does bug me. I don't know what the hell they were thinking! 
I inquired about a solid or two-tone paint scheme when I was ordering mine, nogo. So, it's either buy an older used one with a different paint scheme (not many for sale in my area) or wait till the next model year and take ur chances...

Damn,
I knew some batwing guy would finally bring this up . That's the first thing I noticed on that paint scheme. I don't get it either.

You know, its like the fairing department and the tank department didn't communicate.... Is that something that someone just said "Oh well, since it has 'HD' on it, they'll still buy it"?
On the other hand, such detail was taken to the paint scheme on your bike, Terry, that they should have learned a lesson on its popularity. Heck, that is what I was looking for when I finally bought my Ultra. If there had been one like yours available, it would be in my garage right now. In fact, I've got "authority" from my wife that if one comes along, we could be a two bike family immediately -- and she just rides along as a passenger!
For my part, that fairing would be re-striped at the local body shop.....

I have to admit I've never been a big fan of yellow, with some exceptions in automobile history.
But H-D did a pretty nice job with this color and I think it looks especially good on the RG. 
The (mismatched) stripe matches well and I really like the way the black inner fairing looks against the yellow. Hell, even the black seat and tires for that matter.
Do you plan on changing the exhaust or you gonna stick with the stock headers?

Well I'm not really sure yet. I may go with the Rinehart true duels in the future. I think the next thing I would like to do is put on chrome fork lowers and floating disk.
