yeah you have a point, I do wish mine had the all black motor, specialy since it is supposed to be a dark custom... Maybe I will get lucky and harley will sell some black sideplates for it at a resonable cost, hahaha, well sell some anyway.... But I like the tail light and the bobed fender

I guess you could kind of compare it to an African American with blonde hair. It just doesn't quite look right.

p.s. I think my 09 looks damn good and I havent even began to really customize it.

Please don't take this question personally... I have nothing against the new 09 It is just a very different bike from previous years...While I understand the published reason for changing, I actually believe a second reason also is that they departed with the overly popular black engine to keep those with plenty to spend in a higher price bracket of bike...In the end any person that would have bought another more expensive bike other than the streetbob is money the MOCO lost...
not a conspiracy just business sense.

I felt the same exact way when i was making my decision. Love my Street Bob, but the Night Train is also a great bike.

I love the dynas, I probably would have went with a lowrider. Softails look cool, but everything else about the dynas are more apealing to my riding style! As far as a bagger, I hardly ever do 2 or more day rides so I'd rather not have a couple suitcases mounted on my bike!
