Kinda getting off topic here. Lol.. Bottom line Harley is Calling on the younger crowd they know the 65+ year olds (no offense) aren't going to be ridding for much longer. And lately modern styling definitely out sells old school. I personally like both.
But its definitely not a coincidence that Harley designed the new 2018 Fatboy to be a Radical designed bike. Its literally calling on it to save the Company once again.

So true, there are a lot of people moving to Colorado now too. The mountain roads on the weekends are full of people. I have been riding bikes in Colorado for over 30 years now. If you want to go riding it's best to take a day off work in the middle of the week and not attempt to go on the weekend. Or just go east on the weekends if you want a nice mellow ride in the wind.

i thought the company didn't need revamping of classic looks. they always promoted themselves as being the elite for the older crowd. now things have changed...time will tell if this works change is always good, but no so much that it's a complete change.. but within the next 3 to 5 years the world is going to do a complete turn around anyway. Once the war happens you won't see many 30 to 40k bikes being sold.. believe me the war is coming

I want to swap out my bullet hole wheels for spokes for aesthetic reasons only.

i've had more issues with winds on my fat boy than any other bike with less solid rims. if i look outside and the tree's are whiping, i don't ride. 10 o 15 mile winds are ok. 20 to 30, not so much

Your either wind sensitive or your not. Winds affect some riders more then others its not just the bike. I personally don't like heavy cross winds myself.

The lower wind deflectors are probably the single best purchase I've made for wind control. Those things block more buffeting than my windshield.
