My girlfriend had a pinto back in the 70's. When I met her she was washing it and gave me the best tittie shot I ever saw. Man I loved that car.

The new glide is meant to look cool, but it's low shocks are stiff and the low windshield is low. Try an 08 or 09 before you decide what a road glide is, or perhaps I should say was.

So you change them, we change everything else anyway, as many RG windshield posts are on here it doesn't look like many leave the stock one on anyway.

Road Glides are the most unique bike in the HD lineup.

I used to love the paint job on the older RG's, but I hated most of the color combos since they went to the spear job. I like a black bike, but the blue spear was crappy to my taste, I hope those who have one love it. I like the new paint scheme, think they should have more colors, but since I like black that's not a problem either. It would cost me a lot more to do a repaint than to change the rear shocks, windshield & add cruise. I wouldn't change the shocks anyway since I changed to the lower ones on my EG, & I would have changed the windshield no matter what year it was. Guess like it says above, it's a good thing we all don't like the same thing or we'd probably all be riding YELLOW GW's.

guess I won't make it as a critic in Bagger Magazine. Did you know the radio housing is higher than the windshield? hmmmm And you have to "sit up" to use the functions on radio, unlike all the other bikes with factory radios....hmmmmm. The license plate mount rattles and hits the fender too,,,,maybe somebody backed it into something,..hmmmm. Can you look over the fairing and see the front tire? Did you know your key will work on any HD lockable fuel cap?
