Out of a dozen Harleys that I've owned, my '98 FLTRI is at the top of the list with the 1965 Pan a hard second. It's funny sometimes I get the idea that a Roadking might be nice but after cutting one block, I know I couldn't get rid of the RoadGlide.
So... Fugly is only skin deep.
I hate the cold... and two headlight work much better than one.

They are only f'ugly to those that are envious.....
Felt too claustrophobic inside / behind a batwing.......
Besides, if f'ugly bothered me I wouldn't look in the mirror while shaving.

I often think of selling the Fugly Glide, Then I ride it and forget about it for a while. But its still fugly. To bad a batwing doesn't feel as good to me when riding it, its the classic HD look... wait thats the Road king. My bad.

I have an '08 RG, all I can say is, from inside the cockpit it is by far, without question, the most attractive and most desirable HD of them all.
The guages are where they're supposed to be, easy to read and not in your face like on a bat wing. The stereo speakers are positioned perfectly for optimum sound, not just stuck on like an after thought. Plus as an added bonus, you get two hinged compartments, no need to buy those FUGLY windshield bags to hold your sunglasses and cell phones.
The road glide is awesome. Actually I call mine the Awesome Glide. Riding it is like riding a bullet down the highway, zipping along at 85 mph, tunes blasting, puffing on a cigarette in almost still air. When I ride, I am by far the coolest SOB on the open road.
