Hey just an FYI, I was at the Stone Mountain HD and came a cross this customized Road Glide with a 110, custom paint, chrome that would make d00d jealous, wheels, true trak, etc.  I have the pic emailed me from the dealer but the res is too high and I'm not computer savy enough to adjust it.  It should be coming  up on thier web site soon.  They also had a Street Glide there done up with the same stuff.  They're asking 33k and somehow saying that everything is discounted 20%.  I can forward the pics if needed. let me know. Or if one of the web masters can re-size and post let me know, it's worth taking a look see.

Ok, you've sparked my interest... you've got a PM.

For whatever reason it seems that "custom" baggers have taken off. I think they have actually become more popular then custom choppers.  I think the MoCo is taking a look at what the current trend is and trying to cash in on that. If you walk into most dealers you have a better chance of seeing a CVO other then a bagger sitting on the floor that hasn't already been sold.

I personally think the Babyboomers are getting older and want more comfort. I sold my 1996 Custom Springer for a SERG because I was sick of tying clothes around my waist during season changes. Now I just throw a jacket in my bag. Plus having a radio and windshield makes the ride much more enjoyable.

Frank-
Thats exactly why I went to the bagger, I had an 06 SE Fat Boy that was beautiful.  But in order to go on a good day or two day trip, I would have to change seats, add the luggage rack, bag, put on my ipod, etc.  Now I just throw some stuff in the bags and roll out.  The riding is much different too, much more comfortable.  But I guess I could be part of the boom you're talking about, I'm 34 and used to tease my dad about getting a Road Glide telling him he needed an AARP card to purchase it!  I'm eating my words now and I dont mind at all!

That probably does have a lot to do with it. With more of the baggers out there the younger guys are seeing how they can truly be a custom bike and have comfort too.

I forgot to mention that the custom baggers at Stone Mtn had the heads diamond cut on the 110.  They are changing the wheels to a 21" in the front and an 18" in the rear.

I sold (gave) my 98 RG to my son thinking he would sell it and get a V-Rod. He has since changed his mind. With the tour pack off and custom exhaust someone gave him and radio blasting all the time, its bagger forever for him. In SoCal its not the exception its the rule these days.

 This is one old cowboy that would have jumped all over a CVO Road Glide. I had hoped they would have one for 08. When I got my RG in fall of 04 they were scarce as hens teeth here in NC. In fact mine was a demo,  the shop owner had been riding and had most up grades on it all ready. Now days seems everywhere you go there are RG's. I believe a CVO RG would sell like hot cakes, wake up MoCo.

Rumor is Willie is working with Rotex on the water cooled stuff. Big inches running lean with fuel injection just isn't cutting it. The RG would be the perfect platform for a transition bike and let the rest of the models catch up later.  Doc
