I can tell you, at 90mph, if I put my leg too close to the air "exit" on the lowers of my 14 FLHTK, it gets hot quick...

I wouldn't want that blowing up in my face.
The first picture on my phone looked like the fairing had side vents.
On my computer screen clearly it's a reflection.
Here are some more spy shots, ahh, bite away.

How does Harley even sell these things, and they say the Vrods aren't very popular. At least they aren't this fugly.

That's it! You may have named it! The sticker on my inner side cover does say "catfish orange"

One thing is for sure, just a couple more weeks and we all can rest assure and see the 2015 model year of the much loved/hate Road Glide!

Folks will either like it or dislike it, just the same as the Rushmore Batwing with it's mail slot vent.


As for me and right now, I still have my ultimate dream bike!

I can find it in a sea of black bikes at any rally and it just happens to be the "fastest" color!

To me it looks like the top and bottom pics don't have the windscreen on, the middle one does.
