It may be the Low Rider ST "El Diablo". I am thinking it could be a red 1984 FXRT throwback.

The Street Capacitor. It'll be electric.
Instead of the potato-potato sound, it will sound like sizzling french fries.

The bike I almost got hit on the most was a goldwing that nobody could hear. If it's electric we'll just call it road splat

As the air cooled Sportster is coming to the end of it's life that would make a lot of sense to do an Icon retro version before shutting the production line down.
