I have to agree, the older Wide Glide looked better than the current one. However, I do think the newer one is a nice looking bike. If I had the $$, I'd be shopping for an older Night Train... There are quite a few out there. I guess I gotta start saving my pennies!

 

When I was looking for a bike in '09 I was looking at the '07 FXDWG, '07 FXSTC and '07-08 FXSTB. Never found a STB in my price range and within 700 miles (distance I was willing to travel). Looked at a STC (45 miles) but was not that impressed. Found a DWG in Iowa (650 miles), drove out and bought it.

Buddy of mine has a '00 STB. It has seen better days but is still a sweet bike. He added mini apes and that for me is a much better look than the drag bars (had drags on a previous bike and do not like them).

Anyway, even though I was no longer in the market for one I was sad to see them discontinue the train and hope they bring it back, without completely changing it like they did the DWG.

 

I donno but I liked my '83 Wide Glide better than either of those. It still had a kicker and, of course, a shovel.

 

The bobbed fender on the older models looked better than that thing on the new ones. I also miss the mini apes.

 

They didn't ruin the Wide Glide, they just made it needing a lot more bolt on replacement part's and accessories to make it look nice. Hey!!...Wait a minute...they have been doing that to all the bikes for years. I think there might be some evidence of this in the 850 page accessory catalog.

List of others that they brought back....

None that I can think of.

 

They brought the FXSTC back but only for a few years. The Springer will be back. And hopefully some other 21" bikes.

 

The Sportster 1200C was discontinued after the 2010 year for a short time. It was brought back with a new wide front end.

 

if they come to there senses they will!
