It is nice to see Harley changing up the wheels now especially on the touring line considering from 14 thru 18 (not 18 specials) they had the same ones.
New LowRider S is rather cool...wish they would have ditched the gold wheels though.
It looks like the same crackhead designer did the same thing they did on the last Low Rider S with the wheels. it looks like the Low Rider S wheels are just the Low Rider wheels powder coated gold.

Whether you agree with sentiment, or not, these bikes will most likely go through many changes when baby boomers are not purchasing them, and will most likely be a lot more reliable. Maybe using the phrase not purchasing will not upset people.
No I don't, but, wishing for an entire generation to die just so Harley will build the exact motorcycle you want is pretty f@cking messed up.
I do feel your pain though. Harley hasn't built a motorcycle I really wanted to buy for about 20 years. That has been Harley's dilemma since the '80's at least. On the one hand you have the people who want all the latest technology and gadgetry. On the other, you have the people who think discontinuing the Panhead was a mistake. How do you satisfy both?

I wasn't expecting much this year, so the unveiling didn't disappoint.
I like most of the new colors - especially the Teal on the Heritage
I really like the new LRS, but I won't be buying one. My fat, old *** isn't made for that kind of ride anymore. It should make the kiddies happy though.
I like what they did with the Heritage, splitting out a true(r) "S" model.
I knew they would trim the Sportster line, but I didn't expect it do be cut in half. There's only one model left with the 883. Me thinks it's the last year for that config altogether - if not, as has been posited multiple times here, the entire line.
It's good to see the HUGE price drop on the FXDR, but I suspect this will be the last model year. They're probably assembling just enough to get rid of the current stock of parts. I'd call it a valiant effort, if I'd ever found myself comprehending what the hell they were trying to do with it.
I don't follow the touring models (yet), so no opinion there.
