According to DAWG, the part numbers are in place for painted parts for such a bike. Including the Tour pack, so it looks good that the Ultra Roadie is indeed still coming mid-year. The BIG question is will it be built on the Road Glide of old (ala 2009) or will it be based on the 2010 Street Glide build (ala 2010 custom)? I think there is a vast difference between the 2009 and 2010 offering of that bike - height, seat and most likely handling charasteristics too.

Did you also notice that the Street Glide & the Road Glide Custom have 18" front wheels???? Guess I'll be looking for an 09 or wait till the next go-around. What a disappointment well I still have my 05 and love it even more. I think H-D needs to offer Road Glide in two packages, the Road Glide Custom & the Road Glide the way it was????? I can't figure out what was wrong with the 09s????? everybody wants a tourer with a chopped no protecting wind what ever the hell that is!!!! Talk about wind buffeting. I'm sure Street Glide & Road Glide owners alike are disappointed..............enough whining from me.

As I've said in other threads, I don't care for the 2010 RG "Custom"

Keep the faith, I think we'll still see a Tour Glide come out this year, maybe in a few months. I just hope it's not on a slammed (lowered) Street Glide chassis and is based more on the traditional Road Glide touring setup. If not, my next new bike will either be an Ultra Glide or non-HD.

I agree that touring bikes look better with two exhaust pipes. Has anyone noticed that the CVO air cleaners like like the ones on old Sportsters? I like my football AC better than those.

Nope. I like the Fat bob low but I would like it in color with lots of chrome! The 24" seat height is prolly teh best fitting bike for me as I have short *** legs at 27" inseam. Other than higher prices and less standard equip. in some bikes. None shake my tree!

I don't really like any of the colors or combos. Even if I did, there's no way I'd lay out what they claim they're worth. They've priced these bikes completely out of reach for me - and I'm guessing for lots of other people in the current economic situation.
I'll be using the $$$ that would have gone to making payments on one of these ridiculously overpriced toys to pay rent, buy food & clothing etc. If by some miracle there's any left over, it'll be going into savings.
