I have a 09 FLTR and my buddy just got a 2010. Although I like a lot of the 2010's features, I love the fact that I have the longer shocks and as I wanted more of a Tourer. I think the 09 hits that mark better than the 2010. Don't flame me guys but the 2010 FLTRX is a sportier bike overall, ala StreetGlide vs Ultra. Just MHO...I don;lt think you can go wrong with either one, but I am very happy with my 09 and don't forsee changing that any time in the forseeable future.

I want the new Roadglide, but my dealer has an '09 with 2200 miles, python slip-ons and k&n for 18395. Could probably talk down to around 17500 or a little more. What are some of the smaller differences. I know the fairing is lower on the 2010, you can put vented lowers on it, and the back end sits lower. What are the pros and cons of each one? Thanks.
The '10 will have a cat, the '09 won't unless it's a Cali bike. If you're into the slammed look and don't mind a single-sided exhaust the '10 is a no brainer. If you like dual mufflers and are more touring oriented the '09 would be the better bike with its longer suspension, plusher seat and passenger floorboards. It's quite simple to convert the '09 fairing mount to the '10 position so you can use vented fairing lowers.
Could you post some picture of your backend?? I've got all the same pieces ready to be shipped to the painter when the snow hits and I'd like to get a better idea of what I can expect?
