I knew they were gonna drop the ball. no bag guards, no extra lighting up front. aweful graphics. anyone can build this from a regular roadglide.

I feel the same way. Not sure how they would carry the extra lighting without it looking goofy tho.

You always have been able to add just about any feature of the Ultra classic to a Road Glide. Looks like it comes with the 103" motor and is a little cheaper than the Ultra Limited.

I'd rather add bag guards and some aux lighting to the new model than add lowers, tour pack, windshield, seat, cruise control, etc to the RG Custom.

Yep. The MoCO completely dropped the ball. Useless addition to the 2011 lineup. Y'all see the ivory and gold color? Yuck!
They half-assed this one for sure...they didn't even bother to think up some decent graphics.
This had the potential to be a kick *** bike. What a let down.
