Going to ride one in the am 

[SDCVO]

I think the fairing looks awesome (which pisses me off...). I was hoping I would hate it. I just got my bike exactly where I wanted it..

[fastfreddy]

I had my butt on one , bars are pulled back some got closable vents one each side of headlight and on top  it's kinda cool will report more after my ride got some pics try to post them later

Don't look, just keep riding.

Where? Deadwood, Sturgis? Was there any truth to the rumor that HD did a ride into Sturgis from Deadwood?

Finally is here the new 2015 road glide...I am not to sure about the new fairing look, but they claim it reduces buffering....what I like is the new radio touchscreen but I don't know if it has bluetooth so I can connect my iPhone and listen to music...for the new led lights I like more the ones I have on my CVO Road Glide 2013 orange, another mod that I like of the 2015 is the one hand lach to open the bags! is a pain in the back to use both hands versus one hand and to top it off my girlfriend always ask me can you open the bag! I don't know if the bags are the problem ore is my girlfriend...jejeje but I guess I have to keep her happy! I have also a Road Glide 2010 red with a lots of mods in other words $$$  I will post some pictures
My question is how is it going to affect the value of our Road Glides? and how do you like the new look over all of the 2015 Road Glide?
Thanks
Joe

I think the twin cooled version is very nice. I like the fact that the temp is very stable. Yes it will have lowers but nothing that can be done. I feel the TC is a step forward on these bikes.

Twin cooled??? where did you get that info? I haven't seen anything about that --- yet 

2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra??? one can only hope...

I seen the in sturgis & yes they did a ride from deadwood to sturgis and from sturgis to rapid city HD & that's where they are letting the public ride them today

According to the H-D specs, they only list two versions and both are air cooled, not Twin Cooled.  That's what I found so disappointing about this "big deal" return of the RG.  Gone for a year just to change the fairing and infotainment system; what a joke.

They solved the engine heat problem by adding more vents.

Well... I dont see anything there that will make me want to trade in my old bike.  The fairing looks nice, but I dont have a buffering problem. 
Twin cool would not have done it for me, I think thats a stop gap measure at best...

I think my bike just increased in value

So what are we looking at for a CVO?? 2016?

I like the looks of it and love all the improvements they have made (front fork, linked brakes, lid mechanism, etc.)... now to decide if I like it enough to make me trade my current ride for it...

[Gank]

My 1984 Yamaha and Honda Goldwing had linked brakes.... really introducing 30 year old technology took a year?

BTW I like the linked brakes, great idea

All of the improvements could have been done with out the marketing ploy of killing it off for a year.  Now if they had come out with a bigger engine as standard, that was really water cooled to make driving in traffic enjoyable I would have been impressed.

Oh well

Some nice features but I guess I expected (dreamed) too much for Harley. I wished for a large V-rod type water cooled motor that put out more horsepower/torque so we weren't playing second place to other bikes like a Goldwing or an Indian in H.P. also best grade suspension stock.
Seems funny to me when the car manufacturers are in a performance war between each other and H-D seems to be happy with just good enough to get by but not like old time racing days when they wanted to lead the pack......I guess electronics/cosmetics and bells and whistles attract the customers more then technical improvements?
