I've seen a few people modify their V-Rods with shields and bags.

So when is the factory going to do it?

My hunch and it is nothing more than just a hunch, is that it will begin sometime around 2010-11.

or 2009 if you believe uninformed rumors.

Sometimes, but not that particular one.

So what's the delay? A liquid cooled Harley touring bike makes a lot of sense, especially considering all the EPA issues coming up.

I'm in no hurry. If they wait 5 years to intro it, that means I have 7 years to save up for one before it is discontinued.

2009 -2010 for what it's worth. Plus the knee slider.

You mean like this?

Hey Eze:

Yup you can tour on that! How she handle with the tour pack? Need Wheelie Bars?

The moco's official position is that there will never be a V-Glide, but there are a number of people who have done it already and sooner or later the Harley brass will get hip and do it so they can sell them instead of only getting the mod money for parts. As to when this will happen, that's anybody's guess. Check their web site next month when the 09 models appear you might be surprised!
