The 2010 FLTRX


The Road Glide Custom® is a tougher, lower vision of the shark-nose Harley-Davidson® classic, with a big 18-inch front wheel, a 2-into-1 exhaust, and a smooth tail light assembly. This bagger rolls with new swagger. The innovative Harley-Davidson Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's more-powerful engines.

Features:

* New 2-1 Exhaust
* Integrated Fairing Storage – Two compartments for
* storage integrated into the fairing.
* Floorboards – Rider floorboards with Street Glide® style as well as passenger pegs.
* One-piece, Two-up Seat – One-piece Road King® classic seat for long-haul comfort for rider and passenger alike.
* Color-Matched Saddlebags – Hard, roomy, color-matched saddlebags with color-matched latches.
* New Rear Taillight – new custom rear taillight and fascia blend with the shorty windshield and low suspension to enhance the overall slammed design.
* New Helical Cut 5th Gear – 6-speed Cruise Drivetm transmission with a helical-cut 5th gear for improved transmission sound.
* Shorty Wind Deflector – Dark Shorty wind deflector with an all new angle.

“I recently replaced my 2003 FLTR with a 2010 FLTRX. Holy *#%$! This is without a doubt the finest Harley I have EVER ridden. The new frame is incredibly stable and responsive and has no hint of the "Bagger Wobble" which has sometimes afflicted earlier Touring bikes when used "in anger". The new frame has holds its line even when encountering nasty, mid-turn bumps and the ABS brakes allow me ride with the confidence that I can get maximum stopping power without losing control. The new 18" front wheel and styling cues taken from the Street Glide make it as beautiful to look at as it is to ride. All this helps when chasing Sean because he's already on the "new frame" and hasn't seemed to figure out that the throttle goes both ways. I'd strongly encourage everyone to come test ride the new FLTRX®; it is one BAD ASS motorcyle. But be ready to buy one. They are in stock and you won't be able to resist.”
