Dumb to get ride of sportster custom. They didnt make the 883 one in 2010. The Custom is a great sportster since it has a 4.5 gallon tank, forward controls two up seat. But the controls and the tank are the two things that make it stand out for me.
Well I am biased since I have one and love it.
Some colors going away are:
Red Hot
Mirage Orange
Flame Blue
Black Ice Denim
Black Ice Pearl
Silver Denim
Black Denim/Silver Pearl
Silver/Black Denim
Flame Blue/Silver Pearl
Flame Blue/Black
White Ice/Black Ice
Black/Mirage Orange
Good news is that the Merlot/Cherry combo is back in 2011 as a regular production color, and so is the two-tone Root Beer that was a custom color in '09- no extra charge for these two next year.
Also- to get Security next year on a Touring bike or V Rod, you have to take ABS with it. If you don't want ABS but you do want Security, you'll have to order a bike with neither and add the Security after the bike comes in.
