Better quality parts, more reliable engine, tourers that don't shake, better performance, cooler running engines, a lot better suspension, less weight, and of course a heritage springer with ABS.

Oil cooler on all models should be a no-brainer for HD. How much would adding one really cost? I would be glad to pay a little more to get one on the bike from the factory.

I can think of a lot of crap I would like to see them leave off of the new bikes.

Yup +2. Also might as well add fans on those coolers! :-)

How about:

1. Better suspension
2. Locking gas cap
3. Oil cooler

We can dream.

I wish they would get rid of that douchey looking bobbed rear fender that is ruing the looks of half their models.
And, bring back the NightTrain.

A Road King Windshield that you could take off, then either section or fold it so it would fit in one of the saddlebags. Then I could ride with or without it at whim and not just choose when I left my garage.

All models pre-wired for a power port on the handlebars.

A much easier way to check and fill the rear tire on baggers.

Heck, a rear wheel you can take off without removing a muffler (work arounds don't seem to work on my '16 RK).

Bigger, brighter tail lighting.

Highway pegs that cost less than $50 (with mounts)

A better spot for the oil filter.

I've heard more excuses than I care to count. The springer is a throwback model, among throwbacks. If ABS is holding it up, shame on the wannabe bikers who won't ride without it

If you want abs, stay in the cage
