Default Why no Super Glides?

For the past few years Harley has been putting out Super Glide Customs rather than Super Glides. Anyone know why? As a young man I personally perfer dyna glides over glide customs. I like the speedo on bars, mag wheels lack of paint stripe, etc.

Sorry. I think I'm too old to answer your question.

I think they would sell a LOT of them if they brought the standard FXD back , but with the HD1 program for the FXDB, you can make it whatever you want, minus the speedo on the bars.

I foresee HD combining the FXDC and the FXDB into one bike and using the HD1 program to customize each one. Dealers could order it in any variation they wanted, or the customer can order it to their specs with the options they want.

I'm loving mine, and looking forward to spending all of my disposable income changing it!

The MOCO claimes they weren' t selling enough " Super Glides ". So made the switch to just FXDC's.

I like the mags on my FXD as opposed to the standard laced spokes. I'd like to get them chromed though but that's some coin to do it right.
