I went from an Electra glide to a 2022 Road Glide. I miss my accessable storage for cups, glasses etc. What can be done to add some pockets for the road glide?
Well you can check your dealer for windshield bags, the kind that mount behind your windshield. They should also have various types of cup holders that mount on your handlebars. Ciro is one I bought from my dealer. Check out some of the vendors who support this forum. They should have something that will help. E-glide goodies is another source.
And secondly.....
Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
I've never seen the windshield nag on a Road Glide. The inner fairing has two pockets on each side though. I never used the windshield bag so I never considered the space, so the Road Glide was an upgrade.
For you, maybe the saddle bag guard bags to add storage back or, as Dennis mentioned, the Ciro 3D cup holder, which is awesome by the way.
I have an after market windshield so the windshield bag won't work. I do like the guard bags but have consider the lower fairing bags. Anyone have experience with those?
