I don't know why people say the Rg fairing is ugly, from the riders point of view it's a thing of beauty, Guages right where you can see them, nice functional windshield, glove boxes on each side. Splits the wind perfectly.

Oh, I know, people are worried about what other people think about how it looks. Well if you're going to buy a bike to impress someone else, get them to make the payments!

HD-man, you can try mine if you like.

The EG tends to move around more in winds, as compared to the RG. Since the RG fairing is frame mounted, wind gusts and cross winds hitting the fairing don't steer the front wheel the way the EG fork-mounted fairing does. But on the EG, this is something you get get used to.

Reference test rides here in the UK there are no road glide (non-CVO) available I've been onto dealer websites etc. It seems they only have CVO road glides and at the prices no one want's to register one, until someone's purchased it.

I'll have to wait until they get a bog standard road glide in the UK or when next in USA.

Cheers for all the response.
