Default So who bought one

Anyone in here pull the trigger?

at the dealerships I visited, I did notice that the 17's got a little price reduction (as to be expected). My opinion, there isn't enough new to warrant me digging in the pockets again.

I was especially disappointed with the boom infotainment system. Harley really should have done an upgrade on that. I realize however that they probably had a hefty development bill still with the rushmore's and Milwaukee 8's that they are trying to recover this year.

Yep. 114" Fat Bob.

Couldn't resist - even if it is still on the boat to the UK and they don't get released here until September 30th.

I think you got the best bike of the bunch. that thing looks sick. I was at the dealership watching the sales reps toss that thing around riding it. EVERYONE of the sales reps were falling all over themselves to ride it.

They did do an upgrade. They added Bluetooth functionality to it this year.

You can't buy an 18, you have to finance it.

I ordered it sight unseen. I have a 2014 Fat Bob already and it's a superb bike. But the bigger 4 valve per cylinder engine, mono shock rear, inverted front - it's a no brainer. Just can't wait to get it. Should be about one of the first in the UK.

I've ridden a few 107 M8s and love the motor, so I know the 114 is going to be good. I'm going to add a better pipe )might have to wait for the aftermarket to catch up with that), a cam and Powervision Target Tune (already have the Powervision from the other bike)

test rode a 114 Heritage today..my dyno tuned S1 107 gives up nothing to it in power and runs smoother with better throttle response to boot..being a King it rides nicer too..staying put but I knew that going in
