Default No more road glide

My dealer confirmed that this is the last year they will be producing the road glide. He thinks in a couple of years it will return with a bigger engine... 110.

People where have you been? Way old news. Someone posted a scanned copy of the dealer communication.

Please use Google to search. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient...w=1440&bih=775

I feel the same way about the headlights. I love the sleek look.....if they put a single 7 inch light with 2 passing lamps and molded the shark nose around that....maybe it would look better.

One single light would look like a Cyclops though!.....lol

Well I have my 2013. My third RG so I am covered. Rumor has it they are going to do some major make over maybe the new engine who knows We shall see.
I will be ready to trade by the time the 2015 models roll out. No RG I won't trade.
The Fuel moto headers and black exhaust shields have been installed sense this was take. Never go back to a bat wing

The stereo is pointing up at nearly a 45 degree angle. I know it's because it is mounted so high that they ran out of room in the faring to mount it at a reasonable angle. It's certainly not that way for viewing enhancement or any other legitimate reason as far as I can see.

Seems this positioning could serve to catch a lot of rain water when the bike is parked outdoors overnight. Just don't get that positioning. I wonder if the fuglys have more radio failures than other models?
