Default Hard Candy for 2014????

Hey anyone know if harley will continue the Hard candy custom for 2014? Im hoping not so its more unique. Also I love my bike but has anyone had issues with the speedo acting odd such as i turn my ignition switch on and every light turns on and speedo buries past 120 then says diagnos on speedo? IVe brought it in but they wont do anything unless they see it happen. Other than that ive had it die twice from a cold start, occasionally the fuel pump is much louder than usual, and on my old bike and on others ive seen the engine light is supposed to turn on after you hit the run switch and it turns off when its ready to start, well my bike doesnt do that at all i just have to judge by the noise. The harley shop tried it on a similar bike and it didnt turn on either is that specific to the softail deluxe? The problems dont happen often but it is kinda wierd. Other than that the deluxe is an amazing machine

What makes you say that? They don't last long on the showroom floor here in SOCAL. I had to order mine and it took 6 weeks to get it.

Might be a west coast/east coast difference in demand.

Interesting, I wonder if the sales numbers are better for SOCAL compared to other areas.
