Love the Renthal pad comment reminds me of my younger days on my CR250. Maybe HD should have incuded plastic instead of tins. Maybe you could go with a protaper bar instead to get rid of the crossbar

Not a terrible looking bike it just looks and feels like a fatboy lo with smaller rear tire and a dirt bike handlebar. Seems HD did not put much time into this years new lineup.

IMO I think its a nice bike. I know Im one of a few, but I even like the bars. The rear def needs to be dropped a bit.

I saw one at the dealer last weekend. To me it's a bike that looks better in person than it does in pics.

Didn't like it until I saw in it person. It's tuff.

I'd like to see a 170 or 180 tire on it with a lowered fender. I think a 240 would be way too big.
