Like the Black Denim RG Custom so much as well as for the SG. One problem I'm having my doubts on the ugly pinstripe off the RG. However, I don't like the 2/1 exhaust system, Absolutely not on a bagger. End of the story.

Hey, I'm glad I bought my '09 Ultra in Flame Blue Pearl anmd Brilliant Silver Pearl.

I like it, and I don't. It might find some buyers as I do like the SG's but hated the Batwing set up (bars and seat).

I have a funny feeling that us Canadian buyers are going to get screwed on the back end like we did on the CVO RG. Some sort of law that wouldn't allow that tail light set up. That's the part I liked the best.

So I spent $28 for the SE RG light bezzel, the windshield looks cool, but that's all it does. The floor board addition here is a $500 touch. The rims look like some older model RK rims I've seen before.

IMHO it looks like they went to the warehouse and tried to figure out how they could clear out some stock.

Looks like a bean counters call. Maybe they should look in the real world of what RG owner are doing, rather than what they see at shows. I like a slammed and tricked RG as much as anyone, but would I ride it 1500 miles 2 up to get there??

I hope your right on the Ultra version with a bigger motor, vented lowers would be nice. Leave the shocks and seat as they were before. At least they remembered the stripe that they always use to forget...lol

damm those things are butt ugly. who in the world would want one of those? ME, that's for sure. i think they're absolutely beautiful. the 09 vivid black with the blue pinstriping absolutely is the most stealth looking futuristic looking thing ever. way too cool, in my opinion.

okay, i ride solo, so passenger floorboards would come off anyway, i would also plan on getting a new seat right away so no biggie there. not a huge fan of chrome so the color matched latches is a plus (imo)

does anyone else see the humor in the 'all they did was put a sharknose on a street glide' posts? i mean, come on, the touring bikes are all the same frame anyway so it isn't like any one model is all that much different than another....
