I was never a fan of two-tone bikes. But that color looks so much better than the tired and boring straight vivid black. When I bought my 21 FLHC a couple months ago, the Billiard Teal is what sold me.

We went for a ride yesterday to celebrate the expiration of the warranty. 19,829 miles in 2 years. It's a keeper.

It's a great looking bike...not my cup of tea personally, but I appreciate the old school look with all the chrome, passing lights, and windshield.

I've ridden the 2018+ Heritage Softail, and I have to admit...it's probably the most comfortable Harley right out of the box, (without changing any ergonomics) that Harley Davidson makes...and I don't say that about any of the new Harleys.

Great looking bikes. Love the home of my Raiders. May try to get out there next year for a game.

After a trip to Key West and back, she has it up to 27,708 miles now. Not a lick of trouble with this bike.

I was told by a dealer a few years ago when the "wagon wheels" came out, it was because of a spoke supply chain shortage. I have to believe that since various things in business were affected and Harley added a surcharge for the spokes that year.

Personally I am disappointed they didn't continue that trend and offer those stock cast wheels in chrome as a "throwback" to older Heritage, Deluxe & CVO bikes. Who wouldn't like this?

Next time it needs a front tire I'm thinking about getting the wheel chromed. It would look so much better.
