25 Feb 2010The new Road Glide Custom motorcycle is a tougher, younger vision of the shark-nose Harley-Davidson classic. Chassis geometry and suspension calibration work with the dynamics of the frame to deliver a combination of comfort and handling from a touring motorcycle. The rear suspension is lowered by one inch, so the Road Glide Custom model appears to hug the highway. An aerodynamic, frame-mounted fairing incorporates dual headlamps, a cockpit-style instrument display with silver-faced gauges, and two glove-box storage compartments. The Twin Cam 96™ V-Twin engine features Harley-Davidson Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) that delivers crisp response. The engine is rubber-mounted in the chassis, and mated to a 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission with a tall top gear for quiet, economical highway cruising. Price range (MSRP): $18,999 – $19,479.
