Harley has made bigger mistakes. Look at the FXR. They totally shot themselves in the foot on that deal. They say they were too expensive to make (because of the frame?) So charge more money for it !!! 2-3 hundred per bike. The other side is, they lost the contract with the CHP when the FXR wemt away, simply because they don't have a compatable model. The E/Glides are over their weight limit once the radio eqpt etc is on. how many police depts did they loose? A friend of mine is a San Jose Police Motor Officer.
His work bike is a Road King. (E/Glide last year) He would much prefer the lighter better handling FXR (for work) .

Not to add fuel to the rumor mill, but I heard the RoadGlide fairing is going to stay, but it will be on a different model?? Liquid cooled??

Maybe the Ultra Classic will be fixed fairing model now?? Who knows??

If its gone, I could care less.

All kinds of parts for FLTs to keep 'em running.

So now I have a FLTR with paint that was 2008 only, and no glides in 2010.

I have a rare bird!

I asked the manager at my dealer today, he said no more RG, night train, rocker and a few others in 2010. No word (as usual) on new models.
