I have a 09 SERG that I absolutly love but just like everything else in my life I am getting bored with it and can't find anything else I can do to it,so I have been looking at new ones and haven't seen anything yet that trips my trigger.I wanted a CVO SERGU with the same rear fender design that is on my bike plus the extended bags.I was told recently that MOCO is not building a RG in 2014 but the one for 2015 will be something special.I guess I'll have to wait and see for myself,but if it's got what I want I will have one ,if not I'll just have to be happy  with mine for now.

[15CVOSG]

I think the Stealer was hoping you pull the trigger on a 13' with that story...no one knows the line up till it get's released...everyone found out the CVO Street Glide was dropped only weeks before getting the 13' Release date and lineup...

[E-Skunk]

No, he is right. The MoCo told dealers at a mtg last week that there would not be a Road Glide for 2014 but will be back with a new look in 2015. That was the word at the local dealer. Sounds like cosmetic re-design or refinement.

[scttgr8]

No, he is right. The MoCo told dealers at a mtg on Friday that there would not be a Road Glide for 2014 but will be back with a new look in 2015. Check with your local dealer. sounds like cosmetic re-design or refinement.

from what I am hearing it will be redsigned with the water cooled 120w motor and a 7 speed synchronized transmission     at least thats what my bartender whose brotherinlaws sisterinlaw nannies for one of the Davidsons

Close, but what they really plan is to modify the frame to allow the installation of a Honda engine.  Fixes the water cooling thing and the reliability thing in one fell swoop.  As for the trans, it will be a fully automatic CVT.

I was at my dealer this morning and he told me that this was the last year for the Road Glide.  He said their GM briefed them on this Friday.  Has anyone heard the same?

Not the last year, we were told just skipping 2014.

[FLSTFI Dave]

Remember we all heard in 09 there would be no Road glide in 2010, but there was.

[grandpadoc]

Just the CVO RG ??

[2timen]

I was told by a dealer that the reason for not having a 2014 road glide was that they had to build new molds for the shark nose. So they dropped it for one year.

That's why I see so many Goldwings at the R&D center lately, with Mfg plates on them!!!!

[GregKhougaz]

Heard something similar last month and posted a couple of weeks ago in 2014 Model Year:

My dealer's service manager told me something interesting last week.  He says a source at the factory told him there will be no '14 Road Glide because the '15's will come with the wet motor.   NOT eager to spread a rumor but if it comes true, you heard it here first!     It does not make sense to me that a wet motor would require an interruption of a model for an entire year but it would be a HUGE step for HD and I can see them trying to get it right the first time.     Where's Nostradamus when you need him?     

[grc]

I was told by a dealer that the reason for not having a 2014 road glide was that they had to build new molds for the shark nose. So they dropped it for one year.

Makes no sense.  They can make new molds while still using the old molds, so there is no requirement to stop building the old ones while creating the new ones.  If this sort of thing was true, your favorite auto maker would have to shut down production every time they changed the hood or deck lid or fender or facia or other major parts.  As we all know, they keep right on cranking out the old ones until it's time to start cranking out the new ones.  

I think it's time to ask Twolanerider to consult with the pool boy again and get the straight scoop.  Local dealership employee's tend to be quick to spew BS when they don't have any real facts.  If Harley intends to curtail production of the RG, it's more likely due to sales volume or some other business decision and not an impending change to the fairing.  

JMHO - Jerry

[greglyon]

if the dropping of the 2014 Roadglide was to redesign the shark nose so that ordinary humans could take it off AND put it back on while craming more stuff in it, I would applaud the move!

I would like to see a hinge on one side and a latch and lock on the other.

[grandpadoc]

I'm thinkin that the MoCo planners are still operating on the Mayan calender and just want to see what happens. They might think by sacraficing the RG that the gods will be happy. 

[JCZ]

I heard it's because they can't sell the Road Glides that are all just sitting on the dealership floors.

[Cosmic Charlie]

In 2010 They Dropped the Road Glide ... and called it a Road Glide Custom

Now they'll drop the Road Glide Custom & and call it a Road Glide ___ ( fill in the blank)

Business as Usual .... (Quick - buy one before they're all gone)

My guess it will take MoCo 1 full year to re-design "just the fairing pockets to hinge snugly & lock"
 (I take that back - I doubt they could even pull that off in 1 year - more likely the fairing will have NO fairing pockets - they will need the room for the new water cooled heat exchangers)

Don't Laugh

you can't find any cvo road glides around me they are gone before they hit the floor!!! you have to jump on them if you find one

You stop over to serve up more koolaid that everyone is drinking?

[E-Skunk]

Could be a bunch of things listed on this thread.

1. Molds old and worn and have to make several shots to get a good one.
2. Need to keep a current mold around for the repair parts that are needed for 6 or 7 years and don't want to build a new mold just for replacements.
3. New design changes not yet ready so create a void to sell whatever surplus is in the pipeline. (even though our local dealer sells them as soon as they hit the floor).
4. Redesign the fairing pockets on all the R&D GW's so they wont seal!
 
It should be interesting to watch what stories come from this thread in the next year!

[TEQUILA -aka- RED RUM]

Got a call from my dealer said no Roadglide.....Of any kind next year...I was on the list for a CVO ...what do you know..

[barrhill]

  hell my dealer told me there skiping a year to come up with the new road glide speed custom 131 cubes and 150hp and 150 tq aircooled and maybe 2016 for the streetglide :confused5:And also for safety could you imagine a SG guy with a 150hp

IF, this is true (and I'll believe it when MoCo makes a press release) I wonder what it will do to the value of the current RGs out there.

Not a best effort.  That's what happens when working within a deadline (or don't have any beer).  But here goes.  Fair warning, it's a sad and scary story:

Poolboy, usually out there telling stories,
HD gossip and those wild stories.

Smashed flat extended relative of Willie G.
 
When they found Grandma Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack,
Some folks thought she might survive,
But factory said no warran-tee and send her back.

Now we're all so proud of Mrs Poolboy,
She’s been takin' this so well.
Even after Poolboy moaned in his hat,
She was told that they all sound like that..
 
It's not Christmas without Poolboy,

[CVOJOE]

The RG was Willie G.'s favorite as I recall the story. Now that he's retired, perhaps the powers that be in MOCO (beancounters) see no  reason to continue the production if sales aren't strong?  Of course the pool boy retired as well and only the snowblower operators in Milwaukee have the straight scopp.

What say you Don?

Joe, shhhhh!  The snowblowers were supposed to be our secret.  And.. well... their counsel is so seasonal.

[grandpadoc]

I'm dreaming of a 2014 fixed fairing wet SERG in my Christmas stocking next year, already got the first dry one. It would be good to have both even if it meant coming out of retirement for a little while.  OK I'm awake again.

[E-Skunk]

You might have to wait just a bit longer as 2014 is the year that they won't build the RG. Per the MoCo's announcement, you will have to hang in there until 2015. 

Sounds like they plan on finishing the 2013 run so they should be out there until mid summer.

[LC110]

I don't know if they are still calling the new Road Glide the Dakota project or not. Different fairing, larger bags, Rider cool air distribution system. And you thought those radiators in the lowers were to just cool the engine.
It has been in the works a couple years now. I heard this from the elves that do some of Santa Harley's work. They just live an hour north of me.
Merry Christmas 

[harley56]

Recently Harley did indeed let their dealers know the the Road Glide would be discontinued for the 2013 model year, but coming back newly designed for 2014.  One reason is believed to be tooling is worn out and they are experiencing a high rejection rate on those components.  Since the Road Glide is not a significant part of most dealers sales, they probably feel doing away with it for a year is ok.  That being said, there are also areas in the country where the Road Glide Custom is the number 1 selling bike for dealers, so there is some push back by those dealers asking them to consider continuing it for the 2013 model year.

My bad, I meant "Discontinued for the 2014 model year, but coming back newly designed for 2015 "

[Uncle Fester]

"Skipping MY14" is the rumor I've heard most often. Any changes they'd need to make to the tooling would be a pretty big deal, enough that skipping a model year would probably be preferable to disrupting the line. Perhaps a year of CVO-only sharks to use up any remaining stock of the old fairings.

RGs are a steady seller, and sales have only been increasing. They're not going to dump something that makes money for the MoCo.

Uncle Fester, you would think so but it didn't hold true this model year for the SESG!  I know of a few that were waiting for them and they were always in big demand.

You never can tell when it comes to the MoCo.

Sure wouldn't surprise me!

[Thermodyne]

Seriously, what's to discontinue for worn out tooling?  All we're talking about here is a couple of plastic parts, some vender supplied wiring and brackets along with other low bid incidentals.  The rest of the scooter is pure run of the mill touring bike.  

And any redesign of the fairing as far as styling or ergonomics would not take a model year.  

RG sales are good even though volume is low, so dealers have to be really balking at this.  It's rare to find a leftover RG in this area, and used are almost nonexistent at the dealers.

I'm thinking of three possibilities.

They reworked the shark nose so as to make the inner fairing common to the rest of the touring line.  And the year off is to let people get used to the look.  Lowers costs and increases profits.

They redid the whole scooter so as to look more like the custom built RG's with the ass dragen bags and raked big wheel front ends that have been so popular in the last couple of years.  It would be in keeping with maximizing profits and creating high end scooter demand.

Or, this is it and as predicted by some, the RG will be the first water cooled tourer, with the rads built into the fairing.  In this instance we should see some leaks from emissions certs as well as some glimpses of road tests by late next summer.

The MoCo has to have noticed that Honda has taken a shot at the RG Custom segment.  And this could be a reaction to that.  It could also be that they want to do something that will increase the profit per unit on the RG.  Based on pricing, they would seem to be the lowest profits among baggers.  And a year off would limit the shock and resistance among buyers.  Or perhaps, by chance, for some unexplained reason, they have finally taken note of the heat and performance complaints from their bagger customers and decided that it was time to stop putting off the need to address these problems.  

  

[E-Skunk]

As always, time will tell! The story that comes out of the big brick building is usually a nugget of truth wrapped in a whole lot of mystery.  I guess we will have to wait, make up a whole bunch of guesses and finally see!   

[OBB]

I'm not too sure about a cooling system in the fairing to be quite frank. That would be pulling a lot of air through it pushing the heat out of the back of a radiator right onto a bunch of electronics.

[paddockdrive]

Agreed, making lowers standard on the touring models and hiding them there makes better sense.

[Cosmic Charlie]

Agreed, making lowers standard on the touring models and hiding them there makes better sense.

AND HECK !

the lowers on the Ultra's ALREADY look like a cooling radiator !

[Thermodyne]

I'm not too sure about a cooling system in the fairing to be quite frank. That would be pulling a lot of air through it pushing the heat out of the back of a radiator right onto a bunch of electronics.

I was thinking that the new scooter would have the lowers built into the fairing.  Take the air in behind the headlight in the high pressure area under the style line, then vent it out of the lowers.  But they could put the rads almost anywhere.  Tank area or back with the bags.  It's all workable.

[Cosmic Charlie]

My 1987 Yamaha Venture Tourer had an air intake under the headlight and fed it to the closeable vents built into the lowers on each side (cool air vents)  ... (1987 !)
and the lowers were built into the fairing ... also had another set of lower vents to direct (or block) warm engine air toward your legs ... (HEAT) and it worked very good.

(25 F'in years ago ...) it also had stereo, cruise, adjustable on the fly rear air suspension, trip computer, electric activated anti dive front forks, & self canceling directionals

Wake Up MoCo

[Mountainman streetbob]

I have been saving and drooling to finally order my cvo rg in 2013 and now I find this out!              I sure hope this turns out to be bs...

[grandpadoc]

 With the lowers built close to the fairing the current RG has a lot better weather protection (rain) than the BW already. Joining the two would make it even better...warm air in the winter, ambient air in the summer, and dry boots and legs all year long. This next change could be where the MOCO needs to go if they want to keep the boomers on board.
 I'm not really interested in extracting more power out of single crank pin farm engine when it could be had out of the box with a modern wet motor. Leave the traditional motor for the bar hoppers and give us old folks a bagger that will eat Wings and miles all day long.

grandpadoc

[Phantom309]

I'm sure whatever scheme HD is dreaming about will be nothing more than a "new-improved" package built with yesterday's technology boasting a higher price tag ... I won't lose any sleep over whatever it is.

[charles05663]

I was really hoping they were going to be releasing the 111th anniversary Road Glide (hey, it is a special number so I can see HD doing the annie hype).

Maybe they will do the wet motors on the 112th Road Glide anniversary models.  If they do, then I will have to wait for the 116th anniversary model for them to get the the kinks worked out.

My first bike with the 99th annie model.  Never had a problem with it!

I was told the other day by a fried that a dealer had told him 2013 was the last year for the Road Glide. He said they were going to stop making several models to improve their profit bottom line.  Has any one else heard this?

The word about the MoCo not making a RoadGlide in 2014 but back in 2015 has been out there for a while. As for dropping other models, every year they add and delete models based on popularity so that doesn't sound out of the norm.

and in a few more years:  Also offered the RG CLASSIC (retro air cooled- pre 2014 style - limited production and costa plenty extra)

I'm happy to have the first SERGdry and looking forward to having the first SERGwet. I for one will not miss the tractor engine and leave that for the bar hoppers. Like I said before give me a bike that will eat Wings and miles all day.

Holy crap!  What company completely stops production on a model for a year to do what they say they're doing?  They're gonna have 2013 Vettes and 2014 Vettes.

Brian, back many more years than I like to remember, I was a service manager at a Chevy/Pontiac dealership up in Clare MI.  I remember when the new model year cars came out for '83.  There were NO '83 Vettes.  Although while at some training in Warren MI, I had the opportunity to work on an '83 Vette.  They made a few for preproduction '84 and to use for training and testing.  They were distroyed after use.  Just think, that was 30 years ago.

My instructor in those classes had two '69 Z28s.  He had a 302Z and a 350.  He said that the 302 was a scary car to drive as it was not a torque monster in the least and when the power came on, it was like the old style turbos that spooled up and kicked butt.  He much preferred driving the 350 on the street as it was still fast by those standards and was a lot easier to handle on the street.

Anyway, so here was GM cancelling the Vette for one year, who'd have thunk it?

[TinSpinner]

I heard the news today at my dealership. Liquid cooled Road glides for 2015, I think that's a step in the right direction if they get it right. I know a lot of long time devotees will have a hard time warming up to the notion but technology is topping out on air cooled engines. I say bring it on, better performance should follow

[Black Diamond]

Could the MoCo re-intro the FLTR just like the year they were dropping the Road Glide then made the "new" Road Glide Custom?  They do strange things.

Chevy, no model year 1983 corvette.  C-3 to C4 body and chassis change.

[110tHunDer]

 
OK, maybe I should've said, "What company in this day and age ...?"  That was 30 years ago on the Corvette.  And between the C3 and C4 they might have carried over 2 nut and bolt part numbers.  I'm not expecting quite the same revamp for the 2015 Road Glide, but we'll see.

[grandpadoc]

Chevy, no model year 1983 corvette.  C-3 to C4 body and chassis change.

I'm happy the MoCo finally dragged themselves to 80's, it isn't like they didn't go kicking and screaming. I'll still love all the air cooled Harleys we have in the family (4), but am really exited about these rumors of a wet bike, especially if its a RG.

 Not me I still love the Old Skool bikes.  if the choice between Air and wet I am 99.9% sure I would pick the Air!!
