I kind of like the idea of the fixed bat-wing fairing with triple lights on the front.  Possibly more integrated lower fairing look with less of a gap between the fairing and the lowers.  I've never been a fan of the looks of the dash in the shark-nose fairing.  Placing the radio at the top of the dash doesn't work for me and attaching the speedo-tach to the handlebars doesn't work for me either.  They should incorporate everything into the fairing like on the EG's, much cleaner and looks more organized.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.  (By the way, love the eagle graphics on the side of the fairing, those definitely need to return.)

Oh RD, buddy, pal, fugitive from the domain of Road Glide love; the look of the inner as it is was always what I liked best about the Road Glide.  I love the look of that instrument layout.  Big, wide, robust.  And the little nacelle for the tach and speedo is perfect (especially when it's color matched red). 

With the exception of the SE models and their gorgeous big triple redness and great flaming bird it's the shape of the outer that took me a long time to accept.  That inner is perfect though.  Don't you be touching instrument layout and dash shape!

Ok, more good karma.  Hanging up the phone in about two minutes.  Other chores at the desk already finished.  It's a gorgoeous day outside (rains have stopped again).  I'm goin' for a ride.  Be back this evening.

The question is what do I want in a new SERG? How about a real warranty, a JIM's 120 or more, a 6 or 7 speed tranny, fricken better brakes (I went to PM for calipers), chrome that does not peel, stainless nuts and bolts (if BMW can do it so can Harley), a frame with no handling surprises, improved stereo system, a wider rear tire, better lighting, improve the suspension, a little more legroom for the 6 plus footers, dump the crash bars. The graphics are still better than the majority of the graphics from the MoCo. A one year (950) production run in black and silver, orange and black, custom white and silver. All for $30K with minor styling changes to fenders, side panels and fairing.

they got close

Customryder,

Congratulations on your new ride! What color?? So what do you like the most about the new SERGt? We are counting on you for an in-depth report.

Seems they got real close with the 09 to what I want.

A couple glaring ommissions are no Rumble Hwy pegs and no rider back rest.  My understanding is it will even be awhile before you can by the rumble hwy pegs.  No one wants mis matched pegs on a 31K bike.

Good Luck with your ride! I think they did a great job on the bike. Just disappointed about less for more money. I guess the wide tire setup was a trade off for the tourpak and lowers.
