Default low numbers of low riders?

since I've got mine, I've been to numerous bike nights and events and have seen maybe 4 or 5 low riders. didn't they sell very well?

I used to see a lot of them until they changed up the Dyna line in 06. I think the Street Bob and the Superglide Custom were so much better priced that they killed the sales of the Low Rider.

I think they started building LR's in the late 70's, So it had a pretty good run. But like you say, you don't seem to see to many. I'm real happy with mine ( 09 Low Rider )

The Low Riders cost more for the privilage of not looking like every other "Bob" on the road.

Not trying to start an argument just trying to see what you think is so different cause I am not seeing it myself. I like low riders don't get me wrong just don't see how your saying they look so different?
