The Rocker looks like a Deuce with a different rear end. It's gonna be just as controversial as the Deuce was with the rear end.

They kept the Wide Glide around for another year. It looks like they're only offering it in the Annerversary Copper and Vivid Black color though. It will probably be completely gone next year.

I don't know if anyone has noticed before, but the Deuce per say isGONE!!!
The new Fatbob however looks very interesting, like a Dyna cross between a Fatboy and a Wideglide with a 130mm front and 180mm rear tires.
Not bad, but I'm still not trading my Custom in for one.

Rocker? Different! Not a two up bike that's for sure. What's with the god-awful ugly passenger seat, I guess that's what it is????? And what about the Anniversary color? I loved the 2003 Black and silver, but this? NOT! Back to the drawing board Harley Exec's.........

The Fat Bob looks like it might get some attention?
