Default Road Glide Leaving..

I heard recently that Harley is discontinuing the Roadglide. My dealer thinks they will keep the fixed fairing bike but it will be like the old Tourglide. A Roadglide platform but loaded like an Ultra or Classic. Tour pac, lowers, CB, etc. And probably keep the SE version for a couple more years. Any good rumors out there? What other models are going away?

Yes that's the word on the RG. Most people think there will be a fixed fairing bike but it will not be called the FLTR.
Tour Glide returns? Some kind of Street Glide version? A cheaper CVO version?
Only MOCO knows and they ain't talking. Not yet anyway.
The Shark in some form will return. Maybe?????

FLTC- tour glide-trunk, radio, cb maybe lowers-sounds good
a blacked touring bike-they came out with the black engine kit this year.
cvo road glide-1 more year as they tend to run them for 4yrs
maybe a cvo softail like the heritage or softail custom.
cvo touring-street gilde?????????who knows
it seems like 50% of the bikes they do as cvo's get the axe either before or after they turn cvo.
