RE: '08 RUMOR: HD Softail Chopper

None of em,American Ironhorse, Big Dog and etc are choppers. That isjust the term that TV has used describe what they think of as choppers. Same way with Old school. My idea of a chopperis what I saw in the late 60's and early 70's. Those were the bikes that I chopped my schwin to look like until I was old enough to get my own.

Just my $0.02: RUBs BUY "Choppers." Bikers chop their own. The very idea of a Stock Chopper is very funny. Sorry, I guess that I am just too old.

Agreed! I am also fond of the superglide sport but in a more modern version.

Make a cruiser that can handle well and go pretty good while keeping the styling cues and it'll sell.

RE: '08 RUMOR: HD Softail Chopper

Choppers have been around forever, and they're not going anywhere. Is it something that HD will sell hundreds of thousands of, like they NEED to do with a model?
No...
But, we haven't seen it yet and it might be hot...

RE: '08 RUMOR: HD Softail Chopper

Choppers are built. Customs are bought. And HD seldom misses a chance at a piece of the market, though they're sometimes a day late.

RE: '08 RUMOR: HD Softail Chopper

Production line Choppers!!!!! WTF ???? these are for RUB's !!!!!!!

A Custom Chopper is some ones individual thoughts and ideas on making a statement about themselves.OK go to a professional builder if you are not competent to build your own but please keep it original and unique ! If they are Factory built they would most probably be 100% conforming to EPA rules and regulations etc etc. Do you truly want blinkers on a Chop ? or ultra quite Mufflers ?

The mind boggles !!
