Yes but just the same they are gone and the RG may be also.
That just could be the case.
The moco is about making $$$$$ and what ever sells and produces the numbers will stay and what does not won't.

Does some one wish they had a Road Glide? I think they do. Don't hate the player hate the game.

I don't get all these statements like this. Over the past 3 years or so, the RGs have out sold Ultra Classics at least in this part of the country.

Talking to my GM today, I asked again and the response I got was 2-fold

1. There is "rumor" of a 980 unit production of a black CVO RG
2. Won't know anything concrete until August at the meeting.

Well...

I don't know anybody....but I do know it'll be back.

I've already got MINE, so it's actually of no concern to me.

Personally I don't really give a rat's *** what anyone rides.
That's their right and choice.
It's cool, what ever works.

There's other types of vetter fairing bikes too if it is not brought back, or you can go through a major transformation such as what redbeard did.
Kudos to him for that project.
That took some doin'.

All I'm saying is maybe you ought to get used to the idea that they may not come back.
There is always that possibility.
That's it, nothin' more, nothin' less.
T'is what it t'is.
Nothin' to get your panties in a bunch over.
