TRI glide or Free wheel need some aftermarket work on the suspension to get them right.
The Road glide free wheel looks great. Hd was is testing the market with it slapping the RG faring on it was easy.And they will sell what ever they make with. How well it sells will decide if we see a Tri glide version
If I was going trike it would be a Hannigan..

As a Freewheeler rider since my leg strength went to crap, I am very interested in a RG3.
Should be more sporty than a TriGlde, as it is with the 2 wheeler.
I find my Freewheeler much more nimble and fun than a TriGlide

Would be nice to have the Guages and audio system

But they may just figure an RG fairing trike would just cut into the batwing trike sales, but not add any overall sales.

But it isn't the same body. The trunk isn't really compatible to a tour pac. to do that they would have to do it to the TriGlide with the road glide faring .
Maybe put the bobtail fenders on.....

The subject I was responding to was the idea of an RG fairing on a Tri Glide.

I would try one. We had a freewheeler before I got my knee fixed then I went back to 2 wheels. I'm 61 now, I could see myself getting one of these when/if the weight/size of my bike become an issue.

Still loving my RG3, so much so that the wife is now riding the 23 grey RG3 and I bought a 25 RG3 in Whiskey Firestorm
