HARLEY ROAD GLIDE. OCTOBER 2007

October 15, 2007 1:21 PM AWST

FLTR ROAD GLIDE. Although it's not currently scheduled for a 2008 Australian release, the FLTR Road Glide is a standout in the H-D Touring lineup thanks to its aerodynamic, "shark nose" frame-mounted fairing that not only deflects the wind, but also reduces weight on the fork & handlebars.

Whether you like the look of it or not, you can't argue the fact that the fairing is a distinctive feature, but the 2008 Road Glide isn't all about looks! A black powder coated engine with chrome treatment and black nine-spoke cast aluminium wheels are new for 2008. Hard shell saddlebags, electronic cruise control, and an advanced audio system by Harman/Kardon are standard equipment. Dual covered headlamps, back-slash muffler tips, and a subdued 'slashing' graphic that runs across the fairing, tank & saddlebags all combine to create a rakish style that's sure to set the Road Glide up as an appealing touring machine. Hopefully, this one will come Down Under.
