Find out why Phil thinks the two-into-one was a mistake in the December 2009 issue of American Rider or check out the FULL article online at AmericanRider.com in November.

i hate when they do that!.... give us just a taste of the article and then tell you to come back later for the rest. just give it to me all at once.

Good article. One sentence stated HD makes a point that 6th gear is for over 70 mph cruising. Never heard that before.

I was at the local dealer yesterday and every FLTRX was sold or on hold, sales guy told me the RGC is the hottest selling of the 2010's... I did not buy mine from there..
The American Rider article was good... I at first didn't care for the 2 into 1 exhaust setup but now I'm liking it just because it is different...

I read as far as "It’s beautiful to look at" looked at the pictures and it was a fugly and realized obviously the writer doesn't know what he's talking about,

Yeah... it's a tease! I'm going to buy that issue now. The tease worked.

Everything he wrote in the tease is right on from my experience riding this bike. H-D has a total winner on their hands with the Road Glide Custom.

I liked it from the start. I think all bikes look better with a 2 into 1

Love the 2-1 exhaust. leohd obviously needs glasses. ;-)

I understand the performance gains of the 2 into 1 exhaust, but baggers definatly look better with twin mufflers in my opinion.

I like the performance and look of the two-into-one on this bike because it's not styled like a "classic" bagger. And I think duals look right on classic baggers.
