Thanks! Yeah I went in trying to be open minded, but I'm an old dog (sort of) that doesn't love change or believe "improvements" are always "improvements" for the better...but I was happily surprised. Nothing will replace my Evo, but this bike will get ridden a lot and happily without sacrificing what I love about the way Harleys feel in general.

Default Finally!
I picked up my new bike today!! I bought a 2018 FLHTK in Wicked/Twisted. Got a fantastic deal, and the dealer got me one about two weeks sooner than expected.
