This weekend I plan my first trip over a series of cattle guards with my road glide. I have never done this before and would like to hear any comments regarding how to or not to from those who have experience with cattle guards.
Thanks

 

If you are talking about the things like the picture I uploaded I am not sure what there is to say. You ride over them, they are not a problem.

 

I never thought much about them... I just ride right over them. Some of them aren't as smooth as others, but they are no big deal...

 

This should be a real test for a Road Glide...some around this place say they're ugly like cows..not me, though.

 

+1 cruise right over

Sounds like you've got some extremely detailed ride planning goin on..

 

Cows running loose are the concern. Cattle guards, not so much.

 

Ah, here's my 07 103. It's pull the front wheel off the ground a few inches, drag floorboards in the mountains, and gets 42MPG running 80-85. I got no complaints whatsoever. I got one of those cheap aftermarket trunks on a detachable rack in one of the photos.

 

dont turn over 45 degrees while crossing them

 

Ya had to cover the head lights on mine the first time to get it over

 

Moooove right over 'em...rain or shine. :^)

Minimal angle of course...just like you would handle a big set of RR tracks. Nowhere near as scary as any of those big (20' x 20') steel plates that cover road repairs in some parts of the country!
