Directly from my dealer, "HD will NOT offer the Road Glide for 2010"  I asked what about the 2010 SE,, "unknown at this time", if no SE RG for 2010, then we got bike to hang on to.

[Beemer]

Yep...saving all my "OE" parts

[1abastarsmda]

I hate to keep popping everyone's balloons, but the dealers can't even tell you when or if they are getting current year SE's in.  The dealers don't know anything.  Harley is pretty good at keeping things non-public.  I, for one, will not believe anything until Harley actually releases the 2010 lineup.  I'm not saying that they will or will not make a 2010 RG or SERG.  I am only saying that I don't think the dealers have a clue, other than rumors that are passed on to them.

[wenchal]

Could chage it up a bit and just rebadge it, didn't the Road Glide originally start from the Tour Glide, then it went away and re appeard as the Road Glide in 1998. 

[Puzzled]

The talk on the Road Glide forum is it will be the first water cooled touring bike. True or not I can't say. I do beleive we will see a water cooled HD soon so this may be it, who knows.

Maybe liquid cooled ...

[Highjagger]

The main thing is : I have one , Yeah .

[greglyon]

One of the reasons HD is so tight lipped regarding the new models is dealer attendance at the summer dealer show.  They want the dealers to come to the summer unveiling which also serves as a motivational meeting to sell product.   

[Guilty]

I think that everybody is reading too much into the dealers notice that the Road Glide is going away for the 2010 lineup. What I see being stated is the FLTR is going away (along with FLHT, FXSTB, FXCW, FXDL, XL883C), the dealers memo states nothing specifically about the FLTRSE that I have seen or heard. Another consideration is that a new Road Glide model is introduced in 2010, maybe as another Tour Glide. A new Road Glide model could include a tour-pak and lowers, same with the FLTRSE - we all seem likely to buy the tour-paks anyhow so why not offer it as stock. In addition, the FLTRSE is in high demand in 2009 so why get rid of a popular CVO model? The fact is that nobody knows and it is all speculation until the dealers meeting. I am sure that the dealer memo was sent out as a typical Harley marketing gimmick, meant to start discussions and hype and as usual, it is working.

Guilty, i concur.

I remember the 1968 Roadrunner with radio delete, rubber floor mats and cop hub caps. it cost less than $3500.00. Today an over loaded 09 Challenger runs nearly $50 grand. We as consumers are at fault. We need so much....We beg for more than we must have. The 77 gold wing came with out a fairing. And I didn't weigh in at 1200 lbs. Vehicle designs seems to devolve over time....the Mustang in the mid seventies, the T Bird in the 60's and Just about every other make gets bigger and porkier....The 09 SERG was a breath of fresh air to me. I applaud HD for getting it right! 

[sooiee]

Not to mention just because it might state something is going away....it doesn't mean something else isn't going to take it's place.  How many times has the FL springer gone away and come back as a different model.  Now we have a crossbones.   

[LETS_ROLL]

I agree!  Let's Roll

[slorider]

 It may be BS but I heard from my dealer that the road glide was going away and returning as a new Tour Glide Sport. Half road glide and half v-rod.      The truth is   Only Time Will Tell.    And Thats A Fact.     JT

[knothead]

My local dealer confirmed no Road Glide for 2010...along with several other models. To costly to build the Glide, now competing the the Ultra Classic manufacturing costs. Although there's a strong demand for the product, profit as a percent of cost did not make since to build the Glide any longer. MY $0.02 donation...

[GregKhougaz]

If (IF) that's true... the SERG is and instant classic!       In yellow, of course.   

[SBB]

If (IF) that's true... the SERG is and instant classic!       In yellow, of course.   

Greg

Wrong!

Your the Classic!
That yellow SERG is just icing on your cake!

Now practice that and see if the women buy it!

dont sound right to me. if that was the case then up the price the RG riders would still buy them

Chip!?  I'll practice but geeez!  Do have a date with Heidi next week.        Guess I should pick her up on that classic SERG!

[greglyon]

remember all we saw was a memo saying no model FLTR
It did not say that or in any of it's possible configurations.
I am still thinking perhaps optimistically that they will produce a FLTRUC and FLTRUCSE4

Sorry but that doesn't hold water.  There is no way that is the basis of dropping the FLTR.   I am with the speculators that there will be a Tour Glide like RG for 2010.  I am also planning on getting one if they do that. 

[Twolanerider]

This has all gotten tedious.  So I went to the source.  That's right; Willie G's neighbor's brother's gardner's aunt (twice removed) as reported by her brother's grand nephew's home room teacher's pool boy.  Yeap, once again, straight from the pool boy.

2010 will see the following:

FLTRSE4 -- SE Road Glide
FLTRSERVICAR  -- Road Glide Trike
FLTRUBT -- Ugly Black Touring Road Glide
FLTRSFRA  -- Super Fly Red Amazing Red Glide

and

FLTGRGLT -- Road Glide Tour Glide Road Glide Like Thing


There you have it. Straight from the Pool Boy.  He's never let us down yet.

[elmo]

THe funny thing is HD does things that don't always make sense. Several years ago they dropped the Soft Tail Custom and replaced it with the Deuce. Fast forward a few years and now the Custom is back and the deuce is gone. I do not believe he Glide will be permantly laid to rest but think, like most, it will be brought back as the Tour Glide.

Just my .02

[FLSTFI Dave]

Well if the Road Glide is laid to rest for 2010, I am sure glad I have an 2009 .

I however just do not think it will be totally gone for 2010.  Either a Tour Glide or something.  Go in the back of most dealers and it seems the mechanics and sales people prefere the Road Glide.  Look at what most ride.

Either way, gone or not.  I sure am happy with my 09 SERG.

[laynlow]

I believe you are right on target, 2010 Tour Glide. I heard this as well and I think it makes sense to offer the best touring bike Harley produces with more long distance storage options.

I think that everybody is reading too much into the dealers notice that the Road Glide is going away for the 2010 lineup. What I see being stated is the FLTR is going away (along with FLHT, FXSTB, FXCW, FXDL, XL883C), the dealers memo states nothing specifically about the FLTRSE that I have seen or heard.

[RoadGliderX70]

The main thing is : I have one , Yeah .

I have TWO! 

Puzzled.. what Road Glide forum are you referring to?

[arcticdude]

Unfortunately many dealers have SERGs sitting on the floor and they're going to be getting another in May.  That's a whole bunch of unsold product sitting out there.  You may very well find that it's removed completely from the market for a couple of years to renew interest down the road.

[Beemer]

Okay...here it is...TOP SECRET Spy Photo of the 2010 model for only CVOOG Members...Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Highjagger]

I have TWO! 

Puzzled.. what Road Glide forum are you referring to?

There is allways someone who wil have more , hmmmm......

[1abastarsmda]

Dealer told me today that they normally don't know anything, but this year they do know for sure that there will be no 2010 Road Glide or Electra Glide Standard, and they knew about color changes to be made for 2010.  Other than that, they think we'll see a water-cooled touring bike, but have no basis in fact to make that assumption.

[knothead]

that's a nice Tour Glide for 2010....I sure don't like that black box on the back..looks to much like a Ultra Classic..want-a-bee

[Beemer]

[arcticdude]

What kind of riders do we have here on this site??

We're the one's your mother warned you about!!

[1abastarsmda]

I saw that response, shook my head and moved on.

[tazmun]

Just got my monthly dealer news letter. In big bold letters, it said HD was going to
discontinue the Road Glide model, after 2009. Wonder if there's not going to be an 2010 SERG???

[Jus Cruisin]

Just got my monthly dealer news letter. In big bold letters, it said HD was going to

What would be the point of a SERG w/o a  standard Road Glide? It wouldn't make any sense to me. I would think the next logical choice would be a SE Street Glide.

[PR3VS56]

Just got my monthly dealer news letter. In big bold letters, it said HD was going to

Yup!

[dufus]

[FLSTFI Dave]

I will be very surprized if there is not a FLTRSE4.  Seems to me all CVO bikes have been a two year run.

It sure would be nice if there is not as ours would be a 1 year run.  I already see to many around me.

[grandpadoc]

Just got my monthly dealer news letter. In big bold letters, it said HD was going to

I made that prediction last year, so I was off a year. Still doesn't make sence though, will have to wait and see.    Doc

[hdctss]

so no road glide for 2010, but supposedly everybody will be happy in 2011...hmmmm?

[LarryB]

Last weekend at a bike show some guy walked up a announced, "hey, they ain't gonna make these anymore". Made me wonder where this thought all got started. H-D is very tight lipped with product info. For them to "let slip" that they were not making a RG would be a great sales ploy for the 09's. I had an 04 RG that was tricked out like an UC. it had chrome accents that said Classic. From what I have done and seen on the 09 SERG, the MOCO would be best served to produce a FLTRI-UC Make 3000 of those CVO's. But my money is on the SG for CVO 2010.
There is no concrete proof that RG is done, just rumors and hearsay.

[porthole]

Can't see a 1 year run for the RG 1 year run for the SERG

[BryantH]

I can't see a one year run of the SERG either but can you imagine if it was only one year. The 09 SERG would become such a sough after ride, it would make owners like me very happy.

[porthole]

Well in that case - unless they are ordered for people  - there are about a hundred orange RG's at York waiting to go out

[SBB]

Can't see a 1 year run for the RG

The standard RG model has been produced since 98.
2009 will be the last year of the standard RG in the current configuration.

But this isn't the last year of the SERG!

 

[sblair]

Yep, the dealers email says no RoadGlide for 2010.  The COO was asked this and he said 2010 will have a RoadGlide in one way, shape or form and we should be very happy!   Hmmmm........   FREE RoadGlide's? That would make me extremely happy!!!!

sounds like either a cvo road glide or an "Ultranized" Road Glide.  Since the Moco makes a greater margin on the ultra than any other non cvo bike, I am betting on the latter.

[Twolanerider]

I just heard that the "no Road Glide" thing for 2010 was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.  Due to years of overproduction coupled with a new lessening demand Harley is actually only going to produce seven bikes next year.  Not seven models.  Jusr seven bikes.  New owners will be chosen by their conquest in a nationally televised gladiatorial games.

Do you realize what you just started?  Now we'll have people predicting what those 7 bikes will be.

I'm betting there'll be an Ultra Dyna Glide Classic Bob Sportster Rod. It'll be called an FLDGXLV-Bob!

[Twolanerider]

That's what I heard also John.  Stablemate in production was to be the Touring Ultra Glide Low-rider Yacht (FUGLY).

[1abastarsmda]

I'm betting there'll be an Ultra Dyna Glide Classic Bob Sportster Rod. It'll be called an FLDGXLV-Bob!

I heard it was going to be exactly that, but the "Dark" model.  All black.

[FLSTFI Dave]

Well in that case - unless they are ordered for people  - there are about a hundred orange RG's at York waiting to go out

On the CVO line I saw one silver Ultra in progress and lots of Orange SERGS.  I did not see any silver SERGs on the line.

[vtyanqui]

Now, that's a bit of extremely discouraging information as my Silver SERG is programmed to arrive in June.   

[BigLew55]

OK, I found something in my service manual that could be an oversight on HD's part, or it could be a typo, BUT in Figure B-23. INTERCONNECT HARNESS, they reference headlight wiring for models FLTR and FLTRU.  You can look for yourself, and give it whatever credibility you like.  Here's a screenshot.

Good catch.  I'd say mystery solved. We are going to get an "Ultranized" Road Glide   

[1abastarsmda]

And if they would just make it with a detachable tour pack, that has some front to rear adjustment, it sure would be nice.

[MD-Dave]

Newb here.  I read two conflicting posts in this thread.  One stated that there are a lot of SERGs sitting at dealers and another one stated that there was huge demand and that the SERGs have to be ordered and waited for.  I am not trying to bust anyone out, I am just praying that it is the former and not the latter.  I called my dealer on Monday to have him try to find me a Silver SERG, Yellow is my second choice.  I have not heard back from him yet and I am assuming that it may be more difficult to find one than I was hoping.  So, please tell me that they are out there!  I have been waiting for a few years now to pull the trigger on the RG and the SERG put me over the top, plus I just finished convincing the wife that I need another bike.

Please tell me that people are not paying in the 40's for a '09 SERG now!?!  Should I be expecting to pay over MSRP?

[Highjagger]

I wouldn`t do so either ,.......... not to feed Bruce .
 ( but on the other hand it`s an awesome scooter - hmmmmmm )

[vtyanqui]

Just confirmed the price yesterday on my Silver SERG due to arrive in June and the sales price including handling fees comes to $31,574.00; plus the dealership threw in a $ 1,500.00 gift card.            Bruce is asking waaaaaay too much.

[grc]

2010 model will be an Ultra Road Glide.  I thought that was done once before, except they called it a Tour Glide.

Just ignore me if I'm wrong and shake your head with a disgusted look on your face, that's what the wife does.

That price wasn't the entire story.  There is a 2nd tag that goes with it for accessories that adds another $2098 to the price tag for chrome engine bolts and chrome front calipers.  Total asking price is actually $47,093.

[BUNKERBEER]

got my new serg o/b for 31,500 last week. walked in to bear in PA, seen it on the floor (just go there) and got it!

[FLSTFI Dave]

I think it is a regonal thing.  Some areas are moving the SERG's faster than they can get them.  Other areas they sit on the floor for a little bit.

I have yet to see a silver one sitting on the floor any where.  There is a yellow one on the Floor at Battlefield Harley in Gettysburg PA as of this past wednesday.

As for price, Bruce is way to high.  You should be able to get one for MSRP.

[1abastarsmda]

I happened to see both the Silver at Rossmeyer's in Ormond Beach for $45K plus $2K in extras, and the Yellow one at Battlefield Harley in Gettysburg.  I think they had that one tagged at around $33K.  I can't think of any others I've seen sitting in a showroom for several weeks now.  When I was looking for an SEUC to buy, I went on Harley's site and did a search on dealers close to me, and kept expanding the distance from me and going to each dealer's website looking to see if they showed their actual inventory and then to see if they had one.  I found several that way within a hundred miles or so, but they only one in the color I wanted just happened to show up at my local dealer the day I walked in randomly.  When the dealers have them, it seems like everyone is pawing at the SERG's and SEUC's until they disappear.  Everyone is attracted to them and it just takes that one person with the bucks to make it happen walking in, so neither of them last too long anywhere.  I remember last year, you couldn't find any SEUC's sitting around and then around July, they started appearing in every showroom in my area. Some had 2 or 3 of them that lasted for several months before they all disappeared.  The bikes should continue to come in to dealers, but around that time of the year, I think there are more serious buyers that might hold off for next year's model.  That's what I did when I found out about all the changes that were coming for 09.  Suddenly, the 08 I had been looking for was not what I wanted anymore.

[roadkingrandy]

Smoky Mountain H-D has an orange/black on the showroom floor.  865-977-1669 ask for Shane, he is a friend and sales manager.   MSRP I think it was priced.

[elmo]

I walked into my local dealership to get an oil cooler for my bike and walked straight into a silver SERG. They had traded their SEUC with another dealership is the only reason why they got it. It now sits in my garage.  I got them to discount the bike and throw in my first service with the deal. To be fair this is my third bike with this dealership so it was probobably not your off the street deal. I had not been gone from the dealership an hour when someone showed up to buy it. I was (for once) at the right place at the right time!!   

[LarryB]

Elmo, Good score. enjoy.

[greglyon]

There is an O/B SERG at the HD dealership in Kingman Az with a sign on it that says, "Your wife called and it's ok"    It was priced 2k over but a 2nd sign gave you the sales manager's cell phone to call directly if you were interested.

For those who are about to pull the trigger on a SERG the question has become do you buy a 2009 for approx 31k because of price and you love one of the color  combos or do you wait for 2010 SERGU hoping you will like the new colors, and a price tag of 36k which will include tour pak and other goodies.

Maybe they change the name to Ultra Tour Glide and add TourPak, etc.  THAT would be one fantastic bike. 

[Highwaystar]

You all have it wrong. the new 2010 will be a "SEVROT"........ Screamin Eagle V Rod Tour Glide! There are a few hand made's out there now. Radiators and all!

[LarryB]

Maybe they change the name to Ultra Tour Glide and add TourPak, etc.  THAT would be one fantastic bike. 

And it will look like this

[Highjagger]

and a watercooler ?!?!   

[ice6900]

and a watercooler ?!?!   

the beer cooler is in the righthand box   

[1abastarsmda]

and apparently a free helmet comes with it.

[knothead]

The tour pac and lowers look great on this SERG...especially when the unit is set up as SOLO rider!!

[Kingspoke]

Actually Willie G was very inspired by the cockroach type profile of the Victory Vision, and not to be outdone by the Ness gang, plans on taking that styling cue to another level.

Seriously, I'm guessing a Tour Glide with oil cooled/air cooled heads similar to the XR1200, new aerodynamic styling of the 11 year old fairing/bags/side panel, improved lighting w/intergrated signal lights in the fairing.  96" engine to mate with current frame inprovements.  Radically (Harley) different, but not Victory Vision, over the cliff styling.  No water cooling (thankyou!) & no Vrod motor (too many modifications needed for the new touring frame, & not enough torque).

Found an orange/black SERG on the floor of Z&M Harley in Greensburg, PA today.  Price marked $30,999.  If anyone happens to be interested in it, they have a salesman named Dax that is very knowledgeable on the CVO's.  I found this out when my friend bought his there, and I got quite an education from this guy.  He seems like the kind of person that could rub you the wrong way, but I can also see that he works real hard for his customer before and after the sale, so I have to respect that.  I think I would consider buying a bike from him based on his knowledge and helpfulness, and ignore that he can come across as a bit cocky.

I also met up with a guy in Greensburg yesterday that was riding an orange/black SERG.  I couldn't believe it when he told me he bought it used.  I keep directing these folks I meet to the forum, but I haven't been seeing any of them surfacing.  Maybe it's my breath???  It does amaze me everytime I start talking to these folks...none of them have a clue that the CATS are there, and they have no idea of all the things that can be done to modify their bikes.  I keep thinking to myself, why can't I be like them and just enjoy the darn bike the way it is?  They are saving a fortune by not joining the forum.

Thanks to all.  My dealer thinks he will have found one for me by Thursday.  This is going to be the longest week ever!

What color?

Good luck.

I am looking for a Silver one.  I hear it is the fastest color.    If they can't find a silver one I told them that the yellow was my second choice.  Bottom line is, they are all great looking, so I won't be disappointed with any color.

MD Dave- there is a silver one in Charleston & Myrtle Beach SC- two stores same owner.

You hear correct, Silver is fastest

I believe Smoky Mountain in Marryville TN has one more silver coming in June.  Ask for Doo-Rag.

[MD-Dave]

Thanks Guys.  I called my dealer and let him know where to find one.  He thinks he has a line on one closer in.  I should know by tomorrow.  I know that patience is supposed to be a virtue but it is not one of mine!  I just want to go pick it up and ride the hell out of it.  I am making due with my Night Rod for now but I want to take longer trips and the back just can't handle it like I used to be able to.

[MD-Dave]

Well, like I said, patience is not one of my virtues. I picked up my O/B SERG yesterday!  No dealers wanted to trade my dealer for a Silver one so I went down to Annapolis HD and picked up the Orange one that someone here posted about. 
So I am now the proud owner of my first CVO bike and yes the first things I have to do the Jim Kerr mod on the exhaust, Fullsacs, etc.  and get a new windscreen and Hog Tune speakers.  Thanks to all who are helping to drain my wallet at a rapid pace!  The BSR appreciates it too.

Congrats.  Those are beautiful bikes.  I was at a blessing of the bikes last weekend and there was an O/B SERG there.  Everytime I looked in that general direction, that bike caught my eye and just stood out in the crowd.  Ride it with care.  Of course, another idea to help you drain your wallet.  You may want to look at the chrome floorboard extenders that move the floorboards outward 1" on each side.  It seems that everyone that has purchased these really appreciates the additional comfort provided.  Try www.harleygoodies.com/hdf or others out there that make them also.  This one won't hurt so bad.  I think mine were about $44.

I am guessing that will get my leg off of the air intake?  Nice. Thanks.

How do they affect the lean angle?  I am used to my Night Rod and like to really get into the turns.

[1abastarsmda]

How do they affect the lean angle?  I am used to my Night Rod and like to really get into the turns.

Well, the way I look at it is this.  If you took a 10 foot rod and extended it straight out from your floorboards, you would scrape that rod with very little lean at all.  Therefore, anything that extends them out further to the sides is going to marginally decrease the amount of lean allowed before scraping.  Although a very slight decrease in lean angle allowed, that might be the difference between dragging and not dragging your floorboards.  I'm not really a floorboard dragger, so it hasn't affected me in any way but a positive manner.  If you are coming a fraction of an inch from dragging now, you may start dragging with them extended.  I think that's a call you have to make based on your own riding characteristics.  You may want to ride your new bike a bit and get used to it and see if you are dragging on this bike or not.  Your bike shows 31/32 degrees lean angle.  The SEUC shows 31/33 degrees lean angle.  I assume this means you will drag before I do already.  Your call.  The 09 Night Rod shows 32/32 degrees, but I don't know what year yours was.  If you ride your SERG the way you rode your Night Rod, if you dragged before, you'll still drag, and the floorboard extensions will start dragging at a slightly lesser angle.

Short answer:  it will cut your lean angle slightly.

To answer your question the extenders will affect your lean angle slightly from stock.
You will loose some lean angle.
I have the D&D Fatcat on my 09 SEUC. I extended the right side floorboard to clear the pipe.
On Deals Gap I consistantly scraped the right side and never touched the left side.
Since the extenders are fairly inexpensive I suggest you try them and if your floorboard supports scrape more than your comfortable with, then take them off.
The extenders are not affected by the scraping so they will as good as new.
Someone will want then if you don't like them.
Good luck!

I have the same extenders on my SERG, ride great, plus changed the A/C to a Arlen Ness Big Sucker so more room.
I have scraped the rear floorboard brackets, kinda gives them character. 

[MD-Dave]

Thanks for the answers.  I think I am going to wait and ride this for a while and see how it goes.  This is my first touring bike and I already noticed a difference in my attitude while riding.  On my way back from the dealer I was still doing the first 50 miles break-in and keeping it under 55.  I found that I really did not care about the other cars whipping past me.  I don't know how to describe it but on my Night Rod I am leaning somewhat forward and that kind of feels more "aggressive" and so my riding style is more aggressive.  On this bike I feel more like I am out cruising and kind of chillin'.  Maybe I won't be attacking the corners the same way.  I'll just give it some time.

Congratulations on your new SERG.

Get a 96 inch 49 state head pipe, or cut the cat out of the stock one.  Then the fullsacs with a tune and you will have a much better sounding, cooler running more powerful bike

That sounds like a plan.  I also just ordered the HID lamps.  Was riding last night and could not stand the lack of distance on the stock headlamp's illumination pattern.

I too am going to do the HID lamps.  Just sort of holding off until I decide what speakers and hidden antenna I am going to use, only want to take the fairing off once.

[jpparker]

I would think the next logical choice would be a SE Street Glide.

Which is what the 04 & 05 SEEG were..... precursors to the Street Glide but on steroids!

This is what i dreamed about 3 month ago , now had it off the 4th time , it`s easier whenever you do it again , with wife`s hands to help it is a 30 minutes job remove and back again .
