Wow! I've never really thought about the Road Glide much either way. I've seen some very nice looking custom Roadies, and the one I test rode before trading my 06 SG for another SG was very nice, but I just have always focused on the Street Glide as the bike the appeals to me most. Maybe it's because there's no CVO Street Glide to lust after. Maybe it's because it's the most "custom" of any CVO I've seen to date. Maybe it's because I just decided to drop the 21" contrast cut wheel for an 18", but those bikes are drop dead gorgeous sexy bikes no matter how you spin it! The silver ones are my favorite. Those bag extensions look killer and the fender lowering kit over the front 18" wheel is awesome.
Now I'm wondering if those bag extensions will be for sale and available for all hard bag touring bikes. I'd also buy the fender lowering kit if it was available from HD. I know both are available from after market's but I really like the idea of OEM stuff like that. I think both would be a very big seller.
Which reminds me....what do most do regarding the pipe cutout if running a 2-1 pipe?
