I like the new Wide Glide. Other than the exhaust I think it is sick, and exhaust is usually the first thing people change anyway. I can't wait to see one in person!

Of all the new models the only one I like is the CVO Fat Bob. Looks like there cutting back on models and paint choices, and the new Wide Glide is scavenging parts from other models. Also looked in the parts and accessories, and thought by now they would be selling Harley Davidson flat black paint .

Yep, that's what I thought as I looked at most of the models for '10. There are some nice colors, but it seems to be the same few colors for everything. And while the Wide Glide seems to be having an identity crisis (though I like it), the thing to be happy about there is the new lower price. Change the bars and pipes like most folks do, maybe throw on a chrome primary, and you're back to the traditional look for about the same cost.

I don't know about the new wide glide. Maybe it'l grow on me when I see it in person. It might be just like when the fatbob came out, everyone hated the front light.

Yep, looks like a Street bob with wide forks, very ugly bars and a slightly different fender.
Here is an idea MoCo....Thow a 21" wheel, wide forks, and that new WG fender on the St bob and now you have a badass bike.....The one everyone on here is building!!
Here is another idea....Make the Wide Glide a WG again....Your sales on it went down because you are charging too damn much for it and in 08 not everyone wanted that crappy Duracell paint job! Not because everyone wanted it blacked out!
IMO one of the most perfect bikes MoCo ever made as far as looks go was the 08 CVO dyna. Make that in a non CVO bike and I will buy a new bike asap!
