Default Why did HD discontinue the Flame Collection?

I still have pieces I need to buy for the FLHTC. Why did HD discontinue the "Flames" collection? Is there NOS Flames collection items out there somewhere?

Flames are so 60's... I have been burnt out on them for a few decades.

'bout all you can do is search eBay and hope to come up with what you want.

Somebody posted this a few months back;
Al Muth has a remote warehouse full of old parts.

Could look for dealer sites that have a toll free number and give them a call...

No way bro. Just my outlook. Best of luck finding that which you seek. Plenty out there on eBay and the like.

I'm surprised they still make "Live to Ride" & "Willie G" crap. I mean...does anyone really buy that junk anymore?
At least flames wasn't so hokey...OK maybe just a little.

My bike came with some Willie G skull stuff from the previous owner. I replaced it and posted the stuff for sale on here and it sold in under an hour. Maybe I priced it too low, but some people really like it I guess.

My PO had the flames fuel cover installed and had the derby cover an timing cover, but had never put them on. When I tried, I figured out why; the derby cover didn't have the o-ring groove, so I had to order a gasket. I kind of like it all. It adds a touch of personalization that isn't as expensive as painting and can be swapped out if I decide I want a different look later on. I'm not really a black-street-glide-guy. I like my bike to be a touch different from everybody else's. Who knows, I may be sitting on some cash if I take them off.

The same reason anybody cancels anything, it ran its course and now people are looking for something different.
