I bought a new anniversary Roadglide in 2008. I had never ridden one before but I have to say the fixed fairing is a non issue after a very short time. I loved it, my wife hated it because of the anniversary colors ( she loves black) , so I sold it to a buddy and now I have to look at it almost every day. Women, sheese! The fairing pocket are handier than a machine gun in a knife fight.
