Overview

Harley Davidson FLTRX Road Glide Custom

The other new addition to the Harley-Davidson Touring line is the 2010 Road Glide Custom. For 2010, H-D dropped the rear suspension down an inch, a move that is complemented by ‘ground effects’ trim at the bottom edge of the rear fender. The back end also has a new taillight assembly with a pair of LED brake/tail/turn lamps that eliminates the separate tail/stop light combo. The Road Glide Custom also gets a new set of pipes, a 2-into-1 arrangement that replaces the previous 2-1-2 exhaust system. The 2-into-1 system includes a single, four-inch-diameter chrome muffler beneath the right saddlebag.

Up front, the 18-inch Black Slotted Disc wheel has machined highlights and is an inch bigger than last year. It does have a lower profile, though, as does the new, shorty windshield, which has been set at its own new angle. The frame-mounted Shark-Nose Fairing continues to point the way, and the two big compartments integrated into each side of the fairing look to be sizable.

The Road Glide Custom sources the Twin Cam 96 engine for its power, and benefits from the chassis upgrades that graced the 2009 Harley-Davidson Touring line. The revised bagger also carries over the same electronic fuel injection and electronic throttle control as last year, but its 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission has a new helical-cut fifth gear.
