Maybe I'm missing something, but I think that Harley needs to make a mid-sized touring bike. An engine size of around 80 to 88 cubic inches with a front end a little beefier than the Dyna bikes, but not as heavy as the FLH bikes would be nice.

Top it off with a nice windshield and fairing combo with fiberglass saddlebags painted to match and it should make a great touring bike that's a little easier to handle/maneuver around town but would still ride good on the highway.

Yep, this is very similar to the FXR Sport Glide that Harley made during the 1980's, but I would change the styling a little to look more "Harley" like.

I like my EGC, but there are a few occasions when I wish it was just a little lighter in the front end and a few pounds lighter overall. Just ain't as young as I used to be and I'm thinking that a bike that was just a bit more nimble and quicker in the turns and corners would be nice to have. Wishful thinking, I suppose.

 

This sounds a lot like the Switchback.

 

its called a switchback

 

Why not a Switchback? Other than the touring frame it has everything you need for a comfy ride while touring. Rubber mounted,removable windshield and bags.

 

How about a Heritage softail with a few mods like batwing fairing and even hard bags if ya like. Its an excellent all around bike in my opinion! Big enough to be comfortable and have a good ride but yet small and light enough to really enjoy riding!

 

For the ones of us 6'+ we think they already do in the FLH! We wish they would make a Large!

 

Your EGC can be more nimble and quicker in the turns and corners if you play with the suspension a little bit.

 

yes they do so all the "real" Harley owners could call it the road queen, girl's bike, and or nub tourer.

 

Absolutely!!!

 

Amen.
