2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special
Ready for both weekend touring and blasts down the boulevard, the 2017 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special looks good everywhere. It is also an excellent performer, thanks to the new Milwaukee-Eight 107, Showa Dual Bending Valve forks, and spring-preload adjustable emulsion shocks.
To keep your passenger happy, this year the Road Glide Special has it exhaust repositioned to help keep things cooler. The Enforcer wheels stand out, with the 19-inch front wheel making a nice custom statement, and a wide variety of colors should suit any taste.
