Reverse Gear
Found this the other day. Any opinions? Does anybody else make a reverse gear?

The website says it's only good up until the '05 model year. I assume that it would work with a Road Glide as well.

RE: Reverse Gear
Well I am new to heavy bikes. The Roadglide did seem heavy when backing up. But since I don't have the bike yet, my immpression was based on the demo ride, with no actual practise backing up.

RE: Reverse Gear
Any new bike can seem heavy. My sportster seemed heavy to me and now I just whip it around like it's weightless. I would suggest riding for a season before dropping over a grand on a reverse gear.

RE: Reverse Gear
I'm new to riding street bikes. Backing up with your legs make it all worth while. I figure like this for dropping 22K on my bike I'm going to be extra carefully anyway. I will drop a women before my bike.

Goldwings have a reverse gear because theres no room to move your legs around all that plastic ****, but I havent really found a need for it on my Roadglide.

RE: Reverse Gear
I have a side car and I have looked fondly at the reverse gear.
When the wife and I are on board and on level ground, backing is a little bit of a challenge. I have also had a problem with my right foot hiting the lower mounting hardware and a couple time pulled under (caught between ground and bar).
The $1400 is a little distraction but not a show stopper.
