I personally don't see a ton of them around.. but maybe I'm just not paying attention. No idea what their plans are but you usually don't discontinue something if its making money.

This may put a price premium on the current models until they relaunch.

i was at a dealer a few weeks ago and the salesman was saying HD stopped making some paint colors too. i think he said you will only be able to get flat black no other flat colors. looks like HD is cutting back on expense's. i only see a few of the roadglides around and only know one person that has one here in st.louis, maybe they are more popular on the west coast. don't think they sell that many around here.
