Default Road Glide Fairing

What year did the fairing change on the road glides? 2 buds of mine have RG's, one has a 1998 and the other has a 2009. the 1998 is a little bigger overall. looking to get a RG and wantr the older style fairing.

1999 was the first year for the currant fairing style. The 98 and before would have been the TourGlide.

The Company redesigned the Road Glide fairing in 2004 made it more streamline than the original 1998 model. The 04 design is the same today.
