Question what changes?

I have been on the Harley page, did the 360, you tube too. I guess it is really too soon. I cannot see any changes from the 2017 except colors. That wicked red looks very good as does the blue/black. Am I missing anything? Looks like the prices stayed about the same. I read many were wishing HD slapped a 114 or a 117 in it but maybe a good reason for not? If no changes, the 2017's may get a lot more affordable. I got a quote monthly on one....um.... lots more saving up to do. But the wife mentioned she wants me to get a Jeep Wrangler to go to the beach and mountains. I said....I think a trike would do that as well. Score one for the old fat guy on quick thinking.

Well, the TG didn't change, the dyna is gone, the softail low rider is new, the 117 in CVO is new, the bags on the heritage are awful,

yeah as a Classic owner, the new Classics looks like a metric threw up. If I had to buy a 2018 2 wheel, I would be pressed to go touring non blacked out....selection on that is not much. Trikes looking a lot better for sure.

Quick glance at the specs shows the '18 Tri Glide's ground clearance is .4" higher than the '17.

The 18 models have an Oil Cooler.
