Best news I've heard all day. Mabey they will change them. That's my only stylistic wishlist for the Deluxe. Change the spaceship turn signals to something more betting a 50s heritage style bike.

I dont think they had turn signals on the bikes of old. They should just put the current bullet style on with LED bulbs and be done with it.

I like the turn signals. They remind me of the Cadillac V logo.

I need to see them in person, they made them part of the light bar in front to hold the driving lights. Might look ok in person?

I have talked with a few dealers that say they will not see one till next year...
Early in the year (they hope).
I had to smile at there reaction to my thoughts on the 18...
I have liked the Deluxe since it came out & the nostalgia before that.
I asked them if they would supply the hack saw to remove those wonderful blinkers?
I want to see one in person, but so far those would have to go before I would consider taking one home.
Loved the expression's on (most not all) of there faces.
Some agreed with me whole heartidly.

Everyone has a right to there option, the world would be a real boring place otherwise.
So it's all good, I got my 17 Deluxe before they were gone.
Love the M8 but it will have to come in bagger form....
Lovin the gunship grey & the tattooed street glide's
Hopefully right before I retire....
