Changes
I going to buy a new Road Glide, I was in the dealer today and they had a 10 model. Besides changing the pipe and seat what other changes did they make to the touring line. Thanks for the help.

on the road glide, you're looking at shorter shocks. if you don't need the low stance (ie a short little f*(k like me) then you can gain a lot of comfort just switching the shocks out for stock size 13s. they also lifted the fairing up an inch, so you can now use the same vented fairing lowers that the batwingers use. and get rid of that short toenail of a windshield for a proper one, you'll get so much wind with that one that you won't be able to hear the radio over 35mph.
the road glide custom and the street glide are now basically the same bike with just a different fairing. the suspension is the same, the engine treatment is the same, the chrome is the same..... saves on assembly line i guess.
thats just some of the obvious cosmetic stuff, the above link to that document lists all the stuff inside the engine, frame, etc..... (i think, its blocked by my firewall here at work)

Udawg, that link has to be the most informative read on the new models. Somehow it should be required reading by any/all considering an '11 bikes. Sure answers the questions.
