Quick look at the new bikes online, not impressed. Glad we got the CVO this year and I've said it before, the Lo ain't going anywhere. My next Softail will be a Crossbones, when I find the right one. I'd like to do a Sporty one day with a Led Sled hardtail kit.

Sho-nuff!

I like some of the technical aspects of the new bike... even like some of the basics of the design, like the geometry and proportions...

That said, some of the finishing touches seem a bit contrived and un-Harley like.

The Dyna is dead!
We do have some additions to the softail family though...Old names new bikes.

Interesting enough, they did away with the oil tanks and some look like they have radiators. Noooooooo...
