Saw a Road Glide 3 in person today

[Sidecarbill]

I was only looking.

Wow the white one reminds me of the old metermaid trikes they had in Ridgewood. Meter readers used it to check the parking meters in summer. And it used to follow the DPW truck when it was salting the road in winter.

Very cool, I had a chance to trade even up my 60 Panhead for one of these, in hindsight I wish I had

A 60 Pan? Mine was a 59.

Something about the RG3 trike doesn't look right, the fairing looks a bit out of place. Maybe if the fairing were placed on a Tri-glide it might look better. I am sure there are individuals who like the way it looks.

I thought this Burgundy / Black combo was really handsome. I'm also a chrome guy so I like this engine setup much better than the blackout package, which is very popular today. Also the "White" one is not really white ... "White Sand Pearl" officially. Very pretty (kinda cream colored) blackout everything and the new $500.00 + Black windshield does get your attention.

Was? That’s too bad. Mine is a 50. She’s a keeper. Has been since 1968.

Yeah, back then it was just another old Harley and I wanted the new Lowrider in '78. Who knew? Right?

I've had my '60 since 1973.

It was 85 degrees and sunny so closed up shop for a few hours and did 90 miles. On the ride I stopped at my current dealership, Atlantic County HD, and front and center by the main entrance was this:

I will never get used to that fairing, IMO it distracts from the hot rod look of the Freewheeler

 

[ChopperBill]

I think the road glide looks like a big glob was attached to the front. Freewheeler looks much more at home with the batwing.

It needs a top box to even out the looks.....Once the fairing in added it only looks like it doesn't know what it really wants to be...Definitely not a hotrod or even a sport trike...

So they might as well add the box and give it the light cruiser look and be done with it..

It does look heavy up front and generally out of balance. I'm sure Harley will sell anybody a TriGlide rear end for, oh maybe 5 or 6 grand.

It needs the old Harley razor pak ( regular pak is too large)
