I saw one of the new green glides in the flesh today.
I was not real impressed.
The bike was in the service area and the lights back there are mercury I think, you know the kind that give off the bluish purple light that washes out reds.
In that light the dark emerald color looked muddy dark brown and the green does indeed look like the green in the HD website photos.
The leather tour pak is actually pretty nice. It's fully lined, top and bottom like the trunk on a highline car.
Sitting in the service area the radio sounded ok but nothing special, maybe it is better at road speed.
The tank medallion looks pretty cool in the flesh.
The "04 type "V" is on the rear fender again, and the license plate is above the tail lamp integrated into the tour pak mount.
The tour pak is not detachable and has a wire harness about an inch in diameter that plugs in under it on the right side. This is a real eyesore. It looks like they didn't quite know what to do about it and just left it out in the open, no cover or anything.
Sitting on the bike, it does not feel like it's been lowered as the past FLH screamin eagle bikes have been.
The heated handgrips are internally wired, begging the question of why the moco states, "not for internally wired handlebars" on all of it's heated grips.
The dark emerald seems to have a lot of green flake in it and I bet it's nice looking out in the sun.
I'll post more if I get a chance to roll it into the sun in the next day or two.
