Default roadglides

When you turn on an off ramp at night is it hard to see with the frame mounted fairing, especially the long sweeping offf ramps

No, everyone makes a big deal about the fairing being mounted to the frame but it's no different than an automobile. I mean the car headlights aren't mounted to the tires. I had a Road king before my glide and it didn't take any adjustment time for me.

No problems here. Maybe we should dig up Tucker the auto designer, hook him up with Willie G. and have them design a fixed fairing for the RG

It's no different then any other bike, at any kind of speed how much do you think your turning the handlebars anyway and if you do it is usually counter steering.

I have no issues either. You lean the bike not steer the bike on the highway so it is just like any other bike, JUST BETTER!!!!! LOL!!!

The only thing that threw me off when I first rode in the dark with my roadglide was that the light goes where the frame is pointed, not where the steering is turned towards. Coming from a Sportster, it was a bit different, but a pair of caliper mounted fog/lamps would fix this
