$1800 for basically cruise, I used to buy new Harleys for that.

 

Well I found a kit that uses the Harley controls for cruise for my softail for $1k. It's a different bike though. Have you ever dropped the bags on a RK? Doesn't look too sexy (in most cases) But some people buy a hooked up Sporty for what they could have paid for a dyna....to each their own.

To add on to that...the RK costs about $300 more than a Heritage...look how many people go the way of the Heritage

 

I may have already said this, but I quite like the FLD. Its still a rip though. Sweet bike and I'm glad they built it. 'Just that Harley charges more because they can is what pisses me off. As much as I like it, I wouldn't buy it over a Road King for the $1500 - $1800 difference.

 

But you probably don't mind the height/weight difference. Maybe prefer that style...others may not. I know many people that would opt against the extra weight...especially if it's a DD but has the qualities of a tourer minus cc...which could be added aftermarket if it were that important to them.

 

Well Bub, I didn't buy mine because of the floorboards, (i still have my mids from my bob, and may want to swap them to someone for some forwards). I did buy it because of the bags and shield, and the 103, cause if i wanted a tour bike, yeah i'da bought a tour bike, it's pretty lively on the hills and twisties in 3rd and 4th, it'll cut and run, with the best of em, and that remark about 1800 difference, for a bloated tour bike? really? Some folks that amounts a deal breaker And not be jabbin at ya, But the cruise control on a bike? If I had to have cruise, i'd just go head get on the back.. bet it'll do a great burnout..peace..

 

yeah i like it.. lol first new bike i've bought that wasn't black..

 

Couldn't stop laughin

 

I figured if you were gunna pay three grand extra for bags and a windshield and 7 ft-lbs of torque you didn't mind another 1800. Don't knock cruise it gives me both hands free to read a book on a long ride. Finished the sun also rises on our last ride ha ha ha

 

that 3 grand gets you much more than bags a windshield and 7lbs/ft

 

Its cause its new (just like cell phones lol)
If they are still makin them in 3 years the price will be lower I'm sure!
