PS: the stealership still hosed me on the deal ... they get you one way or another ...
Yes it was a 1200 and had lotsa customs and to be honest, I didn't spend much time looking at it (not a big sportster fan). The dealer is "Wild West Harley Davidson" out of Lubbock, Tx., maybe they have a picture of it.

lol and I think $10,000 was what it was worth, but I damn sure wouldn't give them $15,000 for it.

I just went to site and didn't see it, maybe they just got it who knows.

Good points you make. I would also like to have the Boss Bags system for my Heritage Bags. Looks like a very good purchase. Your idea of a Softail Bagger might not be all that far off track, given what I read here regarding riders' tastes, etc. Agree with your last sentence as well.....I would replace my Heritage with another one without hesitation.

My softail has hard bags, ( close enough for me ), fairings are for fart sniffers anyway, JK.

Had the day off so I stopped by the dealer and saw the Blackline for the first time. Wish it would have been a black one but it was orange. Except for a couple of small issues I liked it. Salesman said they haven't sold a single one yet however.

I would buy a Fatboy with hard leather bags like the RK Custom IF the bags followed the line of the fender exactly.
