Make Tachometers standard on all models.

sport suspension packages for every model...even if it was an option you had to pay extra for. Zerk fitting for steer bearing is a great idea. For the dyna with mid controls...a better brake that you don't have to pigeon toe in to use or at least make it so you can use a brake pedal pad without modding it.

A perfomance package that you could get as an option without going to the goddy CVO models (sorry CVO owners)

Put a valve stem on the tires that you can actually get to!
Nicer grips
More comfortable seat and handlebars

To recap all the suggestions: drive HD into bankruptcy.

Wow, I could really go crazy with this one. For starters I think all inner batwings should come painted. It can't cost much more while you are already shooting paint and who wouldn't want it painted? It looks like crap on anything other than a black or dark grey bike. Makes the bike look unfinished.

HD brags of having the best paint and we know b/c of CVO's they can do great art. How about allowing buyers to submit their own art/paint requests straight from the factory on your new ride?

How about opt deleting things you don't want or would like to do aftermarket. Opt delete the bags for example so you can go buy some stretched bags.

Lets see, put in bigger primary main shaft bearings, go back to a manual primary chain adjuster, go back to the old 2002 style crank that does not have so much run out, and make the stock bars on a bagger taller by about 2". These things would go a long way to making the product much better over all.

x 2 on the painted inner fairing. While were at fire the Paint Dept, (except the CVO paint shop), and get some folks that have a clue about design and paint combinations.

Stop with the cheesy cheap parts, would it kill them to put some decent hinges and bolts on.

Options for suspension, and either chrome legs or powder coated!

A tire valve that you can actually get at and fill !

Engine options from the factory, would be nice. ...and the list goes on, but losing the thrill to type it.

So laughable. And prices should stay the same. Oh, and I'm sure, hire back all the workers, and restore their pay. LOL.
