Mine's due in England on September 30th. Might be here before then, but they can't give it to me until that date as that is the official UK launch of the 2018 models.

114" Fat Bob in Industrial Gray

It's ugly, our dollar is worth about 80cents US and we get an import tariff too I think.
But for me I think we're being gouged.

Default Heritage classic

My dealer got a small amount of 2018's in yesterday..I tried out the heritage classic. Love it. Asked for the salesman to work up a deal for me. Still waiting on a price and trade in numbers for my bike. It had a 114 engine in it. I asked for a 107 and they didn't have any inbound. Will wait and see.
I love the new heritage
