New Softail?

Nice day here today in NC. Took a ride and stopped my local dealership. All the new bikes look great and the new 'blackline' is really nice looking. Got me thinking. HD needs to come out with a new model, softail with hard bags and maybe even a fairing. Could even call it the ' Softail Classic'. Hope some of the designers are on this forum and can think about that.

I haven't got down to see one either. I feel the need to venture down at some point but it's not super important yet

They already have a Softail Classic - FLSTC (Heritage). "ST" = Softail. "C" = Classic. Personally don't think a Softy with hardbags and fairing would sell. That would basically be a Street Glide with ST suspension.

Someone on the forums converted a Deluxe into an "Ultra". Because of his height, the bagger line was out of the question.

His turned out looking great.
