And I'll start with saying , I'd like to see them put a small 4 gal tank on one of the dyna's that looks like a sportster C tank .

I believe the MoCo quit listening years ago... hence, no springer in the line-up for years.

I second that and will add a vote for a locking gas cap.

At least better rear suspension on the more than expensive enough touring bikes, at least 100 lbs/ft torque @2000 rpm and 100 HP @4000 rpm, easily attainable but would cut into accessory catalog. At $30-40,000 for a touring bike this should be standard.

A gas cap holder when refueling.

I read somewhere this isn't going to be an option until they get ABS to work with the springer front end. Any truth to that?

Air conditioned seat, like in my Acura.

Higher overdrive 7th gear. I like the current ratios in my 2012 6 speed. But, add a 7th with overdrive, without changing the other 6. It would be nice to be able to drop the revs about 500, so it's not reving so high above 75 mph.

Kate Upton in a thong bikini for the back seat.

If they stay air cooled, then a standard oil cooler on ALL models.
