"My buddies and I used to joke that you can tell when a motorcycle fad was over, because HD would roll out a model copying what the aftermarket was doing"

It looks a lot like the NEW 2018 Lowrider with foword controls and inverted forks . I'm hoping they come up with 3 or 4 more different shape gas tanks and a lot more chrome .

Seems like they trademarked it a while back in 2016 ahead of time.

Whether you love, hate or are indifferent about the new Softail line...

HD has a proven track record of marketing.

With the Street Glide being the #1 seller for the last decade or so, it does not surprise me that they would try and capitalize on it's success with a "Sport Glide"....a Softail version of the best selling Touring model.
