Road glide
#21
Just traded in the night Train and picked up a 2012 RG Custom. This bike glides down the road. I'm not saying I like it, but I put 600 miles on it in two afternoons. It is comfortable, the 103 accelerates smoothly, and above all you don't see 50 at every bike nite.
I will say the first thing I did when I picked it up was put a 12" HD windsplitter windshield on it. Matter of fact they did it right on the showroom floor. The windshield works good for me. I can still feel the wind in what little hair I have left and it directs the bugs over my head. I am going to try the air deflectors that come on the CVO model next and see how they work.
Ride the Road Glide and make up your own mind.

I just turned 20,000 miles on my 2011 RGU and prior to that I put over 80,000 miles on my 2004 EGC and well over 100,000 miles on work RKP's thru 2008 and if I had to do it all over again when I bought my RGU I would have bought a ElectraGlide Ultra. between the three they are very similar handling wise but I perfer the batwing to ride behind vs the RK windshield and the shark nose. I certainly don't hate the shark nose but I just perfer the batwing. I am 5'9" I can see why taller folks like the rg tho.

Been ridin my "Tourglide" oh I mean RG? since 85, love it still!. But was wanting a change, so I was bidding on a 95 FLH anniversary model on Ebay. The most beautiful burgendy/black with everything on it. Was in the lead for several days, then they pulled it off & sold privately, what BS. But I was having second thoughts about giving up on the old gal after 26 yrs. I'm glad I did'nt get the batwing style. After finding this site & the Roadglide forum also it has rejubinated me as far as keeping mine & just totally repainting her. I would like to update my fairing, will the new style headlights, plastic etc fit the old fairing?. The dealer says no, because of the tilt angle. Thanks for any help
