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.
I'll be sorry to see the Crossbones dropped from the lineup. That is a great looking scoot, maybe the best looking of all the softails.
+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.
agreed plus one, they also discontinued that yellow and black bumblebee paintjob for fuglies. paintjob was a test on how ugly can a fugly get. personally I think the minimal pinstripes on the 09 and up were a big improvement
a v-rod with a frame mounted fairing(roadglide, windjammer) and a nice set of hard saddlebags would make a good touring bike. might attrach some younger riders to harley.
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.
