Why????

I can see why wide glide owners wouldn't like this, after thinking, maybe they shouldn't have called this the wide glide, maybe something else. The wide glide should stand for a chromed out bike with the bobtail fender.
Maybe it'll make all your older wideglides more valuable now. They are classic wideglides.

The more I look at the 2010 Wide Glide the more I can understand why a lot of people are not happy with the changes. Especially owners of previous year model WG's. It is a lot different than what the WG has ever looked like before. Wide Bob might have been a better name for this new bike than Wide Glide. I still like it though, and I look forward to seeing one in person.

To me - they cheapened the Wide Glide name by calling this new bike the Wide Glide. A different name - I wouldn't be so critical.
If I had the cash to change the black pieces n parts back to chrome, the bars, exhaust, etc... it would be pretty cool. But I don't forsee that happening anytime soon.
It's not that I hate it, but I won't purchase it...
