Question:
What is the road glide manufacturing run?
Answer:
1998 - 2013.
2015 - ???.
There is no such thing as a model year 2014 fltr. There are numerous brand new Road Glide motorcycles on the streets for about six weeks now. Not one of them is a 2014 model year.they are 2015.

Until it won't hold any more....but I dare say that means its not full but over-full....

Where do you mount your GPS bracket and does the cupholder affect its accuracy....I used to have an iphone 5 but now I have a Galaxy Android....will it still work in Kansas?

Its a marketing ploy, sell a bike in 2000 but tell people its a 2001 model and they buy new bikes....its standard Automotive Industry Marketing tactics....make the new model available late in the year and you sell vehicles in the run-up to Xmas.....keeps the cash flow ticking over like an MM injected Roadking on a hot day.

Marketing ploy or not, it still doesn`t change the fact that the model year is determined by the manufacturer, not the calendar.

Lol, you just can't admit defeat can you?

If the bike was first registered and on the road in 1998 it is entirely possible that an owner may advertise it as a 1998 and so, in accordance with the original question...if a Lowrider is advertised as a 1998 bike you cannot be 100% certain that it is an Evo because the paperwork will have 1998 on it and as that person may not be an expert on Harleys and model years he MAY, quite reasonably, consider it to be a 1998 bike (because that is when he bought it) so, QED one must always look at the pictures carefully if its a 1998 Dyna.

Happy now? Can we go and talk about Oil?

I use Johnson's Baby Oil in my Tranny

There is no gray area here, it is easy to determine the model year of a bike, just check the Vehicle Identification Number, the registration, or title.

The vehicle is designated a certain model year by the manufacturer, that is the year that will appear on the registration and title.

The Vehicle Identification Number will show the Model Year as determined by the manufacturer, not the date of manufacture.

My bike was built in `88, I bought it and registered it in `88...

I think everybody gets it but you.

When I go to the parts counter, do I tell them the bike is an `88, because that is when it was built?

Only if I want the wrong parts...
