Default What if..?

I was at the local HD the other day looking at the 18 Heritage and close to it was a 18 Deluxe with the tombstone tail light, And I started to think ( I know scary ) The Heritage is supposed to be Old School, So why did they not put the Tombstone tail light on it....I personally think it would look bad ***...

I made the same recommendation. The Heritage should have the cats eye dash, half moon boards, large round turn signals, and tombstone tail light. The tombstone tail light never went with the art deco streamline moderne look of the Deluxe. It looks even more out of place on the 2018 Deluxe with the new turn signals. Harley even put the cat look dash on the '18 Deluxe. NO, NO, NO, Harley. What has your design team been smoking?
