Update the fairing graphics & down the bike graphics - most noticeable, best SE paint jobs from a viz standpoint HD ever did.  Keep that eagle theme going!

Lose the 2 headlights.  1 headlight is plenty. 


For God's sake, find something other than that Harmon Kardon 147 function radio to stick in the hole where a radio is supposed to go.

Until you and Bob had mentioned it I'd not even thought of losing the dual headlight.  It defines "Road Glide" so much. 

That light even predates the Road Glide back to the old Tour Glide.  Since Harley hangs on to prior (antiqated?) styling cues like a sailor long at sea dropped in to a Catholic girl's school I'd guess they'll still be two lights on the next year's model.

Most likely.  Just looks strange to me, but I look at stuff strange. Would streamline the fairing with 1 H/L, but agree they will probably keep 2.

How about three...one headlamp and two passing lamps IN the fairing...with these projector style bulbs, there is no limit....and lets make the center one articulable if that is a word, like the old tucker headlight that aimed in the direction you turned...

Recessed focused beam spotlights.  With some a really cool mean look reflector.  That'd be interested.  That'd even be retrofittable (another new word?) with all the room in the old ones.

Damn

Just about missed this thread. (to much to drink last night)

What I would like on a new SERG?

Many, but two in particular,

1)  Get rid of the dual headlight and go with some kind of "Lexus" style refractor/composite angular look headlight.

2)  A full size "real" tourpak like the Ultra's.

I think those are realistic request that are achievable.
Sure, we all want 150 H/P on "ZR" rated tires but it's a bagger.

Not anything like that cyclopsian monstrosity.  :stars:    Was thinking more along the lines of Xeon modern style (big oval?  rectangle?) with matching passing lamps.

Oh Man!  You beat me to it Chief.  How can anyone forget about this?  I believe I said in that thread that we should thank this guy for showing us just what NOT to do!

I like the fixed fairing but have to say that I've felt more wind turbulance on a Road Glide than my SEEG.  Some of our "shorter and rounder" site members with SERGs love them, but I would like to see some modification to the fairing/shield for those of us who don't take up as much cubic footage behind the fairing! ;D

Also, I would like HD to offer an "engineless" option at a significant discount so we can put real motors in these bikes :2vrolijk_21:

Must keep the dual headlight, make them stock with HID system!!
Add a combined Turn signal passing light combination (I beleive Kuryakyn jut came out with this item and since Harley sell some of Kuryakyn Items should be a no brainer).
Please keep it CB and Intercom Less. I like the sportier options.
King Tourpak and detachable (a must have).
Painted inner fairing (another must have).
Give me a 103" if not a 120".

The question is what do I want in a new SERG? How about a real warranty, a JIM's 120 or more,  side panels and fairing. 

Frank

I agree you shouldn't make a Black/Orange SERG without at least a 120. The 00's looked the part but lacked the muscle...almost embarrassing.
