why would the fairing bother you ? your suppose to look way out in front not down

 

Top to bottom
1) there's no need to get used to the fairing... if you're looking at the fairing whether a batwing or a sharknose... you've already wrecked

2) except for the fact that you're not pushing the weight of the batwing around there's no difference in slow speed handeling, same rake, same everything

3) yeah, I think you're right

4) Stock is fine... I like mine.. others upgrade.. hog tunes or J&M speakers... it's just "back ground noise" to me I'm riding my bike, if I wanted to listen carefully to each note, I'd be home listening to my stereo... but that's just me

5) your basic "quick connect" hardware... a four point bracket, and reciever

6) I don't know... I've seen them on pictures, they DO tie in the stripes

7) depending on YOU... a complete radio swap out, and a new harness, for a fair amonut of money... or? I just added a J&M handelbar unit. As I alread had everything else I needed I just bought the head unit.. $230. I guess for the unit, antenna, patch cord, and headset, around $500

Hells Foundry has the stripe kits I think.

 

I brought home my 2008 RG just two weeks ago. Immediately put on two 150 mile rides. If this bike is ugly, I love ugly!

I now have three Harleys. A Dyna (wife's ride), a Deuce (my ride), and a Road Glide (our ride). I regret selling my 1st Harley, and I don't need no more 'grets.

My next bike will not be a Road Glide, 'cause am keeping my 105th anniversary RG. I won't buy another Deuce or Dyna either. Next bike will be some years from now, and must be way different than what I have now.

 

i hope all u guys that told the secret of how great this bike is are proud of yourselves. i don't really want to stop anywhere and see hundreds of biks "just like mine" (read street glide, etc!!!). hopefully his buddies will want him to ride one like there's and talk him out of a r/g but u sure didn't help the cause!!! when somebody asks, the correct answer is " yea it's ugly and it rides like crap "

 

+1
Yeah, come on guys, we can't have people thinking that the RG is a good bike. They might buy one and we don't want that now, do we? Remember; Road Glides are no good, they're ugly, their ride is down right awful, and people laugh at you as you ride by. Don't buy a Road Glide.

 

Jus no one tell em about RGSS or SOS and all will be well

 

I like mine!!!

 

I could'a had a V8, and I could'a bought an Ultra. Oh my

 

Im a new rider and first time owner and I love my RG. Two big headlights are better than one. Several windscreen options available.
