Default 2010 lighting changes

to spark sales and boost the economy, on the ultras the rear fender tip light is now a led, no greedy fat bastards didn't want to get too generous and make all lights led, they might make one of the turning signal lights led for 2011 and the other one in 2012. just like the flhx and fltrx back signals are led but not the front WTF? then the bottom fender light is just a running light not brake? but they can sell you a new one extra, they take away the brake light they could have at least added that. HD makes me sick!!!

its funny, some people complain because they made too many changes, and then others complain because they don't make enough

personally, i'm not a fan of major changes too close together. makes it so that you end up with model year specific parts, instead of multi-year.

my .02 anyway. and for the record, i would love to go out and get a new 2010, but its just not in the financial plan right now....

scratch, i agree with your statement. imagine if they'd made radical changes with the 2010 models. that would make the 2009 an oddball year. and you'd see in the parts and accessories catalog, this part fits, all touring models from x-year to x-year (except 2009)

That is exactally what an 07 is. it has the 96/6 speed special motormounts with cables. Mounts on later modles are different, and fly by wire. At least they are changing, granted some are not for the better.IMO, I hate the shape and looks of the 6 gal. tank, Reminds me of a foriegn bike.
