Default Strange Looking Roadglide

Anyone see a strange looking Roadglide cruzing around the country that just didn't look right? I heard from a friend who works at the moco and he said it's a modified Roadglide with a water cooled engine and the air intake is sticking out the front. The engine was made by the same forgien company that made the Vrod engine and install in a Roadglide for testing. Also he said it will be released in the late 09 or10 models.

It's from an after market company and it's called the Road Rod. They took a V-Rod and put the RG fairing, bags and trunk on it

Could it have been one of these?

In the process of building one, taking the OL new vrod and making it into a road rod, should be a work in progress over the next year or so.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally never could figure out why anybody would want to ride one of those belly buttons myself but hey to each their own.
