Marc you did a great job with the Morph. I love the look.

I don't worry about the RG going away. Other than the fairing it's a twin of all the other touring bikes so it's not like I won't be able to get parts.

I like the idea of being discontinued it will make my RG even more different.

Doh!! Helps if you do a topic search first, doesn't it? I'd smack myself on the forehead, but I'm too busy pretending I can type.
I grew to like the RG, and haven't even owned one yet. Ridden, yes, owned, no. All the batwing people bashing the RG, try real hard not to admit our bikes are "busy" on the highway. Go ahead, try real hard. Ironically, the first RG I rode was an '09 and was impressed by the ride. And, it doesn't feel so damned cramped. Either way, if my deal-in-the-workings goes through, I'll have an RG to park next to my 'Glide.

Per a local dealer they are going to deck it out with a tour pak and lowers and call it a tour glide.

I hope they do get rid of the RG,it will just make my bike worth even more. #918 out of 1500,all I need is the lowers in the front and I'll be all set.

i hope they do make a combination of the SG and the RG. I personally love the Road Glide, not quite sure why, it might be uglier than a Goldwing, ha! But i absolutely love that bike. Thats probably going to be me and the ladys next bike purchase. Ive got the solo seater softail, and we need something for the both of us!

The boys at HD wont let us down

My biggest issue with RG is the fact that when you turn, the headlight(s) do not follow you, you lose lighted vision at night. I'd rather have the batwing with the lights following the handlebars.

I can't see that being a really big issue Russ.
First of all the RG has plenty of headlight, and secondly, when I turn my bike at highway speed, I counter steer to acomplish the desired turn.
So the batwing turns left to turn right!
