Default Reverse On Touring Models

Anybody else heard that Harley is going to put reverse on their touring models later this year?

I thought you told reverse to get off and push?

I've heard that there are some kits available, hadn't heard that the MoCo was offering one.

My reverse is my size 12 Justins, I try not to put myself in a situation where I have to back up hill...

Thanks for the responses. I am gettting pretty good at pedaling backwards myself, but there are times it would be handy. I don't get the idea behind a mid-year option. It just sounds odd to me.

Sorry, could not resist...

It took me one time to park slightly downhill where I needed to back up to get out.
Back it in whenever there is a doubt. Ultras are heavy.
The new HD trikes can be ordered with a reverse.
