Default Reincarnation of Tour Glide?

Last year heard rumors HD was coming out with a Road Glide Ultra? Kind of a reincarnation of the older Tour Glide. So I passed on a new RG waiting for the RG Ultra which was supposed to be released this month.

Was this project shelved because of the economy or ??????? Fill in the blank with your opinion, rumor or commentary.

Rumor. The 2010 RG went the lowered Street Glide look. I dont think the MOCO will make a mid year change to the lineup with the economy the way it is.

But thats just my opinion and with HD its always rumor until it hits the dealer show or dealer floor

I think you'll see it revealed Saturday during the dealer meeting. Good things come to those who wait.

I surely do hope that it comes out this winter. I have a good friend that has a '95 (I think it is) Tour Glide, and he has been hoping for a new one for YEARS now. He's still holding out for a new "Road Glide Ultra"!

Actually, you can build one yourself from an earlier version of the RG using docking hardware for the TP and add the bling chrome saddle bag framing.

XARAN - I didn't think of it as a mide year change rather an addition to the line...hmm

Funky - Didn't know of the dealer's meeting Saturday. Thanks

Will - So it will be called "Road Glide Ultra"?

Ken - I may have to build one BUT it would cost about $2500.00 than the package deal (based on the price of the Ultra)

JW - Thanks but that's a RG. The "RG Ultra" is supposed to have lowers, trunk etc.

That's a Road Glide Custom - a Street Glide with a shark-nosed fairing - and was introduced at the beginning of the 2010 model year. The Road Glide Ultra would be an Ultra with the shark-nosed fairing.

I don't know what such a bike would be called, however I do believe there is a fair chance that the MOCO will "roll one out" at their winter meeting. ......... Hope so anyway!
