In fact Honda did this years ago on the Valkyrie Interstate Tourer. I guess Harley copied it from Honda. Not the first time a manufacture has copied from someone else.

 

It's hard to put anything "new" on a harley trying not to break up the tradition..I'm sure they could build a radiated cooled, high-tech, creature comfy. plastic claded areo dynamic bike and the only way you could tell the differnce from a wing or victory would be the badging...not cool..(no pun intended)

 

I think Victory has done it too.

 

Yes, everyone takes from everyone else, thats called progress.

Macintosh computer? Taken from Xerox parc. Cars all have brake and accelerator pedals.

Point is?

 

Yes and that Beautful bike is for sale right now on ebay

 

Yep, that's where I saw it. I am trying to help a buddy find a Valkyrie. His son gave him a 2010 Ultra Limited and he doesn't like all "the shaking". He is beyond help I never had one and was surprised to see the vent so had to post it here. I actually had thought it was something new that Harley had come up with.

 

Well tell your buddy I have the bike he's looking for

 

PM me what you have. We are actually going to look at a Valkyrie Tourer in the morning. This guy is 81 years young and still rides daily!

 

The old Vetter Wind Jammer fairings from the 70's Had venting, but the vents were round holes drilled in the windshieldwith adjustable deflector plugs. Of course this was an option. It did help with buffeting and equalizing the pressure difference.

 

I think thats what the new fairing for the RG is going to look like.
