Sure it's got a little more rake and the wider trees, but it's no WG.
What difference does it make.

It is a 2010 WG. When you own 51% of MoCo, you can call what ever you want. But in the meantime, it is called WG.

I've seen some of the new bikes. The Wide Glide looks good; the Lo Boy looks even better in person than in the pix. I'd like to see a CVO Fat Bob with the midnight pearl chrome pieces. Can't tell from pix exactly what those look like.
I think Harley has done a good job with styling again this year. I'd just like to see them do some real work on the drivetrain.

I can't see how the WG with more rake and taller front tire rides better than a Fat Bob. I'm sure I'm misisng something here...

Congrats on the new bike, if you're happy that's all that matters. I saw the 2010 Wide Glide this weekend and to me it looks like a FXDC with blacked out rims and slightly raked front end. Not the Wide Glide of a few years ago but hey, every bike has its fans. Enjoy, and ride safe.

It is not going to happen because it requires heavy R&D money. Besides most HD owners are not into techno stuff. Fuel injection has been with around more than 20 years, HD just switched over a few years ago. Most of the Harley owner are more into looks, chrome piece here and there,they will be happy. Mix and match the fender, bar, color and etc with the currnet model year bikes, that is how MoCo create their new models - only in America.

We just have to wait until OP responses. May be it is just new.

Visited my dealer today. They got 5 new 2010 in last Saturday. 3 of them sold that day. Talked to my salesmen. The Dyna, Electric Glide Standard are gone for 2010. Also the Nightster, I think, but not sure about that.
