i didn't mean it to look like the new one. you're misunderstanding my point. i'm stating that they look closer to the original fat boy. a lot of their models looks like harley did at the same time period. then harley remained the same and victory came out with models like the vegas, hammer and 8 ball.. harley followed later with the rocker and a few others.. you're missing the point totally, i guess being young or to young to remember or so young you wern't around when these things happened.. it's like talking to my 21 year old step kid, thinks he know's everything but needs to learn some life lessons

No big deal, in the next 3 1/2 to 5 years none of this is going to matter anyway. After new the next world war, there won't be much emphasis put on what people want as opposed to only what you need in life. Enjoy what you have for now, there will be a big change in the world and it's coming soon.

That is one thing I would really miss. I use mine all the time. Isn't it a cable throttle? Probably why they don't have cruise.

Mine didn't come with cruise, and that's a great question. Cruise was standard on the '16-'17 Fat Boy S, I'm not quite sure why its isn't on the '18 and looking at the stat's, it does not appear to be offered either. The '18's are also throttle by wire (just as the '16 and '17's are) it should be an easy add on just as the touring bikes once were when it didn't come standard. Of the four '18 modeld that came in, one of them had cruise, I just don't remember which. I sure hope it become available in the future..

Have you actually seen the bike?? 3 1/2 gallon tank..... ain't gonna be much cruising on a bike like that. Gonna be too busy ripping down the road to even think about using CC. Hell I barely use the cruise on my bagger!

And yes, I saw the bike at the local dealer.
And I do use the cruise control often. It is a feature that I do not want to give up...
