Lightbulb White Roadglide

Was there ever a year that Harley offered up a Roadglide in white? I've never seen one. Seen tan but no white. Thing is if I get a Roadglide I'd like it in white I think even if I have to have it painted. But I'm just not sure what it would look like. It's taken me a long time to get used to them so don't really want to turn it uglier.

can't say as i have either......i wish they would do more white bikes. they seem to show the dirt less which is really wierd, but i got a white yamaha roadstar and it defenately shows less than my yellow and black or the blue one i had. you could always try and photo shop it to see how it works.....if you have a cheap photo edit program.

I've never been successful photoshoping. Dirt or lack there of is exactly why I like white. But I just can't picture what it will look like on a Roadglide. I've seen the tan and that is for sure a possible. I like it too but I think that was several years ago. Would like a later model.

I've never noticed before, so I did a quick google search. Looks like you can get a CVO in white with black graphics, but I haven't found anything that is clearly all white from the factory in a RG or RGU.

Stang got pretty close. If you just must have a white bike, look at the Moto Guzzi Norge.

Oh that's perfect. That gives me a good idea what it would look like with my choice of accent color. COOL! Thanks. Bye the way, what year is this one?

Quick and dirty job, but It might give you an idea of the look.
