Default Softail Changes For 2016 Models
The other day I heard that 2016 will be the year of BIG changes for the Softail. Rumor has it that the powertrain, motor/transmission will be new. Anyone heard anything?

Would be nice to have the ABS system stock on the Slim like all the other Softails.

No but I'm happy with what I have. Softails are all about the old school look and sound so adding "significant" modern tech would actually take away from what makes softails unique and cool. My next ride will be modern with all the latest tech (non Harley) but softails are everything I want in a modern classic cruiser.

Would be nice if they could get throttle by wire so they could get cruise control.
