Default Road Glide Shark redesign?

While in Virginia last week, was told by a salesman at HD that they are anticipating news of a redesigned Sharknose fairing.

The folks at the dealership were great to talk to, very informative, not pushy, had accessories at reasonable prices. etc. The experience was completely unlike what I normally encounter at all but a handful of stores. However, a redesigned fairing? This is the first I have heard about this. Anybody?

How could they possibly make it any fuglier?

It's a popular design for a percentage of their clientele. Those who don't like it have other options. I can't see Harley changing a design that works for them

The shark nose baggers are the best looking of all the baggers, and Road Glide owners, as a group, put more miles annually on their bikes than any other Harley model.

I like 'em too. I just had to say the inevitable.

El-Wrongo!

The best looking bagger is unquestionably the RoadKing--no ugly rattling piece of plastic hanging on the front end or frame to take away from the purity & essence that is motorcycling.

Owned my Fugly for five weeks. I currently have 3600 miles on the bike.

Subjective, but agreed IMO

True.
