Yeah, there is no winner or loser. Okay maybe it's a win for the comfort of the new owner....
All one has to do is look at modern motorcycles. Unless they are going for the retro look, they all have single shocks. It's just a good engineering choice proven over and over by just about ALL modern motorcycle manufacturers...
Now I understand and get it from the Harley perspective. Heck IMO, and personally I didn't buy a Harley to have the latest and greatest technology. Sure I wanted a good ride and reliability, but there is a look I wanted that only the FLSS has/had....

It takes a real class-act to revel in other peoples misery...
Yet another stupid thread complaining about other people complaining. As if we needed just one more.

Go look....really....I just did. No butthurt as far as I can see. Mostly just posting about Dynas as usual. Happy crowd with bikes they like. As usual. It'll settle down here eventually too I expect. Lots of fresh reactions to be expected. I think in the end most will be satisfied to either keep enjoying their knucks, pans, shovels, evos, and twin cams...or the M8. So far I'm doing both and having a good time. All great bikes for many reasons.

like every redesign there's things people like, things people don't like an things once we get used to we'll forget about why we didn't like it at first. I'm waiting to see what happens when the aftermarket support kicks in, then we'll see what's possible for making it fit our tastes an riding style.
