Default The new 48???
Has anyone else gotten an e-mail from Harleys mailing list about the new 48 Sportster? Looks like the MOCO stuck a short WideGlide front end and a fat touring tire on the new Sporty. Just wondering if theres any info out there about this. Seems like a long time coming for something like this,

I got the HD email about it today. It is a cool bike to me. Has all the begginer customization except black pipes that I've seen done to the Nightster.

I'm waiting for the first person on here to buy one and give us a first hand report, so far all we have is speculation and opinions based on the pics, has anyone seen one in a show room yet?
