I know it's not a softail but take a look at the new Switchback in the dyna line. I like that one for sure.

Logically they would be the 255's that's what comes with the 103" upgrade kit for the 96" But they probably left the same stock ones in to meet epa regulations.

You can tell they are trimming a bit. Only one trike available, no Crossbones and no Rocker.

Ride safe!!

I think that if we got a look at the books, we'd be SHOCKED at how little the MOCO subsists on...
Maybe you didn't catch that news story a couple days ago... Harley Davidson and Coco-Cola had two of the highest numbers this past Quarter...

Dumb question and I didn't see it mentioned on the Harley site but is the Switchback considered an FL model? Looks like a 1965 Electra Glide to me. The hard bags look similar to the ones on the Touring models as well . . .
