Damn, you'd think winter was on again?
No, wait it is summer.
I guess it must be too hot where every one is or something?
Is that why every one is so bitchy, or what?
Let er go guys.

I went back and did a 2nd test ride today to see if my opinion would change
The bike rides fantastic. You can close the upper vent. I never could get the vents front either side of the headlights to close although I saw them closed on the display model
I tested the decal, wobble at 40 mph. It did not exist with the new forks and triple trees.
I like the bike but the front fairing with the vents and the infotainment system just don't do it for me.
I will probably just pick up a garage queen 11, 12, or 13 model as a 3 rd bike.

Radio is now closer to rider and easier to reach without leaning forward so much - my height challenge friend confirmed it - he absolutely could not reach the radio on a '13 but can reach the touchscreen on the '15

OK, did I miss it somewhere? How is the air around the rider now, is it clean or is a beating you up like the last design? I see no reason to redesign the fairing unless they made it better and more comfortable for the riders.

Road Glide riders know what works.
Looks like Harley has this now on the new ones as stock?
Some pics show it better than others. Not sure what to think...
Can anyone confirm if the test-ride bikes had wind deflectors on the sides of the fairing?
