Heritage Springer, black springer front end, black wheels including spokes and nipples. And throw in the black cylinders and silver heads without highlighted cooling fins from the Softail Dark. Sweet looking motor.

+1. Sat on that one a few times. While I love that old school springer front end, a Harley sales guy I know told me that getting it sorted so it wouldn't dive excessively on braking could be a real hassle. Old school looks = old school technology = old school performance.

The standard rocker has already been dropped. It was just the C model for 2011. I really don't think anyone is going to miss the rocker.

It would be nice if they brought back the deuce, though.

I keep expecting the moco to jump on this concept. It's been done pretty successfully in the aftermarket, and these bikes look so cool in person.

I'm all about the Road Glide Custom 103 for the wifey and myself, but if I had the money, I would definately buy a Denim Black Cross Bones to be my Throwback Solo Rolo. Definately one of the sweetest looking bikes Harley has put out. Rough Tough look, with a pinch of evil. Hopefully they bring it back in a few years when I might have some money again.

As for the Rocker Chrome.....no thanks. I never could get over the open gap behind the driver seat. To me, its a failed attempt at a HD chopper. I'd rather have a Wide Glide with apes and a stroked out 107 motor.
