Guys,

It seems like no one here wants the new 2018 Dyna models to be included in this forum. While I can understand that, this new model isn't exactly a "Softtail" either, in regards comparing it the Softtail model before. It seems like there should be a new forum dedicated to this new bike. The reason I bring this up, my father is looking for a new bike, he is 70+, and he is looking for a smaller bike than his old FLH. I would like to see if anybody is starting to make a new FXRT style fairing for these new bikes, but once again, it doesn't seem right posting that here or in the Softtail section.

What do you guys think about a new 2018+ Softtail section for these new bikes.

And before anybody starts ranting about why the new model, I believe the same was said about the FXR when it first came out. How it "betrayed" Harley's image, but now it is revered.

Thanks,

Dave

 

There needs to be a new section as there really are no 2018 Dyna models. As far as calling them Softails, that name still fits as they are still simulating the look of a Hardtail with a suspended rear end.

 

i agree 100%. I will say one thing though, I absolutely despised the 2018s when they were first released, however I find myself attracted to some of the features little by little. As a whole, they are not the style I would want to own, but I do believe they will grow on us as time progresses. But I'm still mad the dyna is gone lol.

Yes, start a new section.

 

Considering that there are no 2018 dyna models, the invisible section fits them just fine.

softails go in the softail forum. .. no need for a poll.

this is a softail.. :

 

First of all, there are no 2018 Dynas so why would the new models that ARE Softails need a new sub forum?

 

Harley calls them Softails. That makes them Softails.

The main problem lies in the model names. Fat Bob Dyna vs Fat Bob Softail.

I have no dog in the fight, but I think having a "Serengeti" (M8 Softail internal designation) section would be beneficial for both the Softail & Serengeti owners/buyers to keep technically unrelated, but similarly named, topics apart.

But...whatever...

 

Pretty much both of these^^. Plus, they only have one shock, "down there" somewhere. So...Softail.

On the other hand, as long as we're wordsmithing the new names, since there's a Street called a Street Rod, and the 2006-7 VRSCR V-Rod was previously the Street Rod, does that mean that the Street is now a V-Rod, or does it mean that the VRSCR was really the first Street?

Discuss.

 

means we need a new subforum for street rods. ... vrod and street versions.

we also need a subforum for ham sammiches with jalapeņo potato chips and peach iced tea

 

What kind of degenerate drinks peach tea?! There's a forum for that...at Sing Sing. You sicko.

 

I Voted That's A New Idea.

But I add it needs to be done as a sub-section of the Softail section of the forum.
2018 - Softail section mostly due to the big changes happening in the bike frame not because three Dyna models where integrated in the range.
