I want to order a new bagger but I'd like some input from owners. I want either a classic or a road glide and I'd like some input on the fairings effectiveness and or problems as well as other features. Thanks and ride safe!

I don't have them on my FLHT, but in the winter and during rain I wish I did.

The fixed fairing on the RoadGlide seems to absorb the wind buffeting better. It does not transmit the buffeting through the handlebars like the classics and ultras do. I have a RoadGlide and just finished a cross country ride of almost 10K miles. It acted civil in wind and rain. I installed a taller (3") windshield cause I'm slightly larger than the average guy.

Visually the RoadGlide takes a few days to get accustomed to but the ride is magnificent. The 'cartridge' front forks are able to handle in a much more aggressive manner than the other touring models.

I would recommend the RoadGlide as the best of the best. Mine is equipped with the King TourPak, and accompanying seat and speaker options and I am very pleased with it. I'd get a carbuerated one if it's available. They seem stronger and are more amenable to adjustments and rejetting is really easy.

Thanks! Thats what I wanted to hear. I'm leaning towards the Road Glide, it just seems to me you get alot more with the classic for $170.00 more. I really don't want things like bag gaurds, bumper gaurds on the fenders. I like the clean look of the Road Glide but the tour pack would be great. I don't understand how Harley decides what the base prices are going to be. I would think the difference would be greater than it is.
Ride Safe, Steve.

I picked up a new Classic yesterday! It's carbed and now i want pipes. Any one have expirences with "wild pigs"? The price and adds on ebay are looking good but I don't know anyone thats tried them.
Thanks, Steve.

I used the Samsonss and I am really pleased with the quality and the sound and performance.

The back cut ones follow the lines of the saddlebags and look like they belong there.

personal choice.

I got an fhlt, I am putting a 16" windshield on it. It is my first bike with a fairing I really like it (I must be getting old),I also put highway pegs on it. I had a SE highflow kit put on it and kerker pipes, very nice deep sound and loud when you crack it open. saferiding rickpoco
