Man the road glide fairing is badazz! It's got that old school nostalgic look, second to none. In my little 120k town i've spotted 8 road glides so far, it's infested with batwings LOL I like standing out, i love the look. Wife didnt like it at first, but now she's seeing it like i am, batwing=dime a dozen...

What's not to like?



Don't buy a bike because of what others think. Buy it because of what you think.

I am!
In fact over the winter I transformed my Wide Glide...
I know the next question, why didnt I just get a RG.
Reason, I love my wide Glide, but love the shark nose, so I combined them.

I liked my '07 RG, and love my '11 RGU, but my wife rides her SG. Two-up? The batwing wins. The RG is not as nice for a passenger, and if she's not happy...well, you know the rest!

OTOH, if your intent is to ride without her - the RG's looks and buffeting should do the trick.

For G-ds sake don't buy a Road Glide!

The first time you drive off the road because the headlights did not turn you will thank me!
Besides the radio has been stuck on a station playing Bulgarian goat roping music since August because I can't reach the radio to change the Channel!

I always approach mine from the rear cause its just too damn ugly to look directly at. BUT....it looks pretty good from where I sit.
