Looking on the website, I will admit that the presentation looks a little better now. but I still don't see a point with the price being that close to the Road King.

Same here. It looks better now that I saw real pictures instead of a drawing but I don't see it worth the minor cost savings from a RK. Go big at that point. OR...get a FXDC/FXDB and put your own bags and windshield on a TON cheaper. This one is a head scratcher for sure.
Again, it's a good/great idea on paper...offering a "touring" Dyna but it needed to be more specialized, "Dyna-centric" and cheaper. And again, I don't see why a windshield would be added. We've been able to add a windshield to all dyna's forever. A quarter or full fairing would be new and exciting (well, if you like that).

I agree! Given that choice it's a no brainer for me that when it comes time for me to move on from my FXDC the FLHR is #1 on my list!
I think I can see where the FLD would appeal to some. By the time you get a street bob or super glide for 13k, add hard/detachable saddlebags, detachable windshield, floor boards, and upgrade to 103", I would guess you would be around 3k. That's assuming you want all that stuff to begin with.
Just some food for thought......there are a few people out there that own a Sportster because they wanted a HD and that was the only choice they could really afford at the time. I would imagine that this are the same people that will push there bdget as fare as they can while still being able to get a good touring bike that cost them $18K (closer to if not over $20k with tax, title and tag). I happen to be one of those people, I know I can afford to RK or a Street Glide, but I would not be able to afford much more let alone be able to go out and enjoy it.......cause we all also know that upkeep on a motorcycle is not cheap either....unless you happen to be one of those owner that only put on a few hundred miles a year and not 15,000 like I do!
