You're getting good at this "thread fail" thing. Do another.

 

So I am not the only one that thinks that HD really f-ed the 18's up. Even the colors on the touring models isn't attractive.

 

LED lighting across all touring models. Its already set for the Softtails so its bound to be on the touring next. plus that "299 accessory" for having wireless headsets will probably be stock. very disappointed it states 6.5 units only, very odd too.

still waiting on a full counter balanced bike with fairing, what I would pay for a real fairing

 

The Executives at the MoCo look like they are trying to kill the company.

My 2009 CVO Road Glide keeps getting better and better each year, compared to what the MoCo is doing!!!

I mean I have to ask, what is so disappointing to you? They ended a line of bikes you don’t ride? You don’t like the colors? You were expecting new technology? Just curious. Not picking on you, you’re just the first post I clicked that shares this opinion.

 

Same bullsh!t, different year would be my guess!

 

prices up 11% on the street glides.... yeah that will help 18 sales... the 17s are already sold to dealers and accounted for... touring line sales numbers are going tank

 

Heard the '19s run hot....

 

I have a TC Softail and a M8 tourer. Like every year if I'm tempted I'll go trade or buy one outright. To watch the Dyna line be raped and impregnated with a hybrid makes me sick at my stomach. Now I really like the two special models SGS and RGS (I do wish they had a chrome option though) but I really like them doing those models up. Don't get me started on the CVO RG and SG. That is the worst paint I've ever seen and for them both to share colors is embarrassment. MoCo executives must have really tried to pinch pennies there, and to raise the price $2k over last years CVO SG, ha!

I always keep at least one model for a change up to go along with my touring bike. I look back and remember riding my Low Rider, Wide Glide and then in 90 I just had to have that new great model, Fatboy! This means that basically for me an option for a second or third bike is gone, when looking new. Just thinking about the words Softail Low Rider brings to mind a pee soaked mattress in a homeless shelter, sickening!

 

I can appreciate that! Thanks for explaining that out. I rode a Wide Glide before getting my SGS. Do you see a decrease in performance by altering the DYNA line or is it more of a purist thing? I admittedly have not been around Harley Culture for long, but if this forum has taught me anything, for every guy that wants new tech there is one that doesn’t. I can see where the pennies are being pinched, no variation in color over the CVO line is a money saving technique. I also don’t like how the price is increased just to dark out the bike. That makes no sense to me. I guess for guys that are budget conscious, you can save some money by getting the chrome SG and add the 6.5 and ABS...
