- Elwood Blue sunglo & jake blue sunglo
they have run out of names and so now they are naming colors after "The Blues Brothers"?
That's right...I'm very curious to see how this combo will look like

I wish they would put anti-lock brakes and give the bikes more power.

Actually, harley was testing ABS system on the police models...I don't know how well it worked and how it was the acceptance in the fleet market...

I sometimes forget to back my bike in certain areas, especially pulling into a parking spot on a downhill.... So when I do get that brain fart and pull straight in, pushing out is a b*tc* [:@]...so having a reverse would be beneficial to some....

I don't think we need reverse. If you need reverse what will you do if you tip your bike over? If you cant push it backwards you sure not going to be able to pick it up. Perhaps a lighter bike is in order??
Thats bullshit, I've seen a 135 pound female pick up a Screaming Eagle CVO Electra Glide in the Motorman courses. You turn the handle bars towards you put your back up against the bike, squat down and put one hand on the bar and the other on the sissy bar and push it up. Its Easy. I could pick up a goldwing that way. Now try pushing the bike up without that technique....then I suppose you need a ton of extra muscles. I didn't say you exactly need one...but it sure is hell conveniant. Wouldn't have to really look for all those little bits of raised road or what not that might cause you a problem when leaving. Anyway just MHO.

The new model announcements will be made at next weekend's dealer show. HD's website should have the new models live by next Saturday morning/early afternoon (the 15th). The bikes themselves will be hitting the dealers beginning the 17th.

Just think, in less than 8 days, we're going to be speculating on what changes are going to be made to the '08 models! [sm=headbang.gif]

I've seen the ABS system that Harley has available for the police bikes. Trust me, you won't want it - at least in its current form - and especially compared to what's already available from the Japanese and German builders . Whereas BMW's new ABS system for '07 weighs less than 3lbs and has the computer and pump system hidden up under the tank area, Harley's current system takes up more than half a saddle bag and from what I was told, is basically an automotive unit that is being used as a short-term solution so that Harley can still be considered by LEO agencies who require ABS. Long term, I'm sure HD is going to refine the system.

I'm not dissing Harley but they really need to get on the stick and get a viable ABS system up and running for their consumer bikes. Who knows? Maybe there'll be an announcement for '07.

Thanks, the suspense has been real interesting to say the least. I sure wish our government would take lessons. LOL
