Road Glide owners thread

RoadGlide Thread

That Pearl Yellow is a beautiful color. I like your ride.
Man it's about time someone started one just for us. I wish there was a nation wide club for RoadGlide owners.
OK, here's mine. A 2006 Deep Cobalt, lowered front and rear, color matched chopped tour trunk (detatchable), color matched inner fairing, chrome drivers area (mini apes, controls, switches and caps, mirrors etc) Chrome rotors, calipers, hardware, upper fork covers and lower sliders. Stainless Russell brake line kit. Chrome windshield. Short passenger sissy bar with small pad and luggage rack (detatchable). Riders back rest and much more I'm forgetting.

'06 RG, nice bike. That painted inner fairing really sets that bike apart from the others. Do you usually run with that shorty sheild? I put one of those on my '02 RG for a while and liked it but only when wearing my full face helmet for anything other than a hope around town. Nice pics.

The RoadGlide, H-D's best kept secret

:thanks: Thanks guys for the compliments. I appreciate it. 2 nice looking Pearl Yellow Glides. How about that, and to have a nice wide glide too.
As for the shorty windshield. I don't usually run one that short. I've been riding here lately when the temps are 50+. It's pretty cold with it but I just got it and like the looks of it so had to check it out. It's getting quite a few comments on the street too. I'll probably go back to the standard here soon until it really warms up.~!Awesome! I've always felt that the RoadGlide was just a little different than anything else being offered. You'll see hundreds of Electra Glides, Fat Boys etc and only see a couple of FLTR's. Nothing wrong with those other models. I've owned Night Trains and Electra Glides and liked them all. I just like the Roady a little better.:thumbsup:

Adlrex, what are the specs on that motor to get you to 100/100. Very good numbers indeed. Like the V&H propipe. I had that pipe on my '02 RG, no question the 2 into 1 make the power.

Wideglide, your are one fortunate fellow, two nice scooters there.

Thanks, I have a great Mrs. that understands. She can't drive anymore due to a health issue so we sold her sporty and bought the Roadglide so we can 2up. She still loves riding.

I thought I would split time between the bikes 50/50 but so far it has been 90/10 for the RG! The dyna has an 80" putting out 92 hp / 97tq and is fun to ride, but 9 times out of 10 when I walk into the garage its the RG I jump on.

I've demo'd the RG's for the last 3-4 years and loved them so much I kept telling people they should try one. After I got mine and told a lot of folks how much I love it there have been quite a few sold here. Instead of an average of 1 or 2 per year, they have sold 5 or 6.

Word is definitely getting out.

LAF, glad you found this thread. Your RG is very nice indeed. Black Pearl looks good on her.

Good idea

Great idea and some mighty fine looking bikes, I've personalized mine a bit and have a set of fullsacs on the way, decided that I wanted to hear the radio after all...

Wydeglyde, I like going 2 up on my RG also. Just more fun to take the wife along or my son or my Sister in law.

Man I am with you there. You will like the fullsacs. Which baffle did you go with? I went with the 2".

Thank you.

You know I love all the colors on the RG'S, they are just stunning bikes all the way around.

I agree the word is getting out and you do see more on the roads.

I will have this one until I die for sure.

Thanks to all for the great RG pictures. Just my opinion, but Road Glides are the coolest looking bikes.

Question: I only ride one-up. I am thinking about getting a Mustang solo seat. I looked around but I haven't seen any pictures of what an RG looks like with just a solo seat. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Bernie

They look sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 2nd to next purchase will be a Mustang Solo with Back Rest. I like the looks of mine when I don't have any thing on except my backrest.

And it is only a screw away from being a full tourer again.

Fullsacs

Road Glider,

Steve recommended the 2 inch cores for the 103 motor and I went with it. Now I'll just have to find the time install them before riding season kicks into full gear.

I think a solo seat looks great on the Roadglides. Unfortunately, the protective plastic wasn't installed under my seat at the factory so by the time we had a few miles on it the paint on the fender was already damaged. If I decide to throw a solo seat on it someday it will mean repainting the fender.

I just cleaned the inside of my headlight cover thanks to help I received here. The guys at the dealer thought I had to remove the outer fairing to remove the clear lens. Pulled up from the bottom and the to lower catches came free. The uppers were harder to release, had to carefully pry them with a flat blade.

Steve is a nice guy isn't he. I think you will be pleased with those mufflers. Respectable sound but not so loud to be tiresome while cruising and listening to the stereo. I can't believe you have not gotten them on the bike just so you can hear them. I am like a kid when the next new thing arrives, I just have to get it on the bike to check it out.
