2015 Harley-Davidson FLTRXS Road Glide Special
About the 2015 Harley-Davidson FLTRXS Road Glide Special
The 2015 Road Glide Special marked the return of the fixed-fairing bagger to the Harley-Davidson lineup after a one-year hiatus, fully integrated with Project RUSHMORE enhancements. It features the iconic 'Sharknose' fairing with Triple Splitstream venting to reduce head buffeting and is powered by the High Output Twin Cam 103 engine. The 'Special' trim distinguishes itself with premium infotainment, standard ABS, and upgraded rear suspension over the base model.
What Makes This Trim Special
- Boom! Box 6.5GT Infotainment — Features a 6.5-inch full-color touchscreen with integrated GPS navigation and voice recognition, replacing the 4.3-inch non-touch unit on the base model.
- Reflex Linked Brakes with ABS — Standard equipment on the Special; was a factory-installed option on the base Road Glide.
- Premium Rear Suspension — Equipped with hand-adjustable emulsion shocks that eliminate the need for an air pump.
- Gloss Black Inner Fairing — The inner fairing is finished in premium gloss black paint rather than the matte/textured plastic of the base model.
- Smart Security System — Standard proximity-based hands-free security fob.

Top reported problems from owners and mechanics
High
Hydraulic Clutch Failure
A chemical reaction in the DOT 4 fluid could generate gas bubbles, preventing the clutch from disengaging after being parked.
Medium
Saddlebag Separation
The spring wire in the mounting receptacle could yield, allowing the saddlebag to come loose from the rail.
Low
Rear Cylinder Heat
The air-cooled Twin Cam 103 runs hot, particularly the rear cylinder, which can be uncomfortable for riders in slow traffic.
