I like it, never did care for the matte colors but like the all black look. This would be a good starting point.

I agree. Looks like a "Softail Wideglide". Not that there is anything wrong with that. Would prefer to see one in person before passing judgment.

Well......I see they went back to the Evo style air cleaner and did away with that ugly football looking thing . So that's an improvment . Not sure it's for me , but that doesn't mean that 95% of the rest of the biking world couldn't like it .

I missed it first time around... I for one am sure glad that people repost previous stories and ideas so that I don't have to think up what to search and then look through 5000 non related posts to find what I didn't know was posted before.

If you don't want to read it again... don't click on it. It's like TV or anything else for that matter... you can skip right over it if you choose!!! Make your choice for you and you alone!
