I was hesitant to purchase a 2024 being the first year with several changes but I did anyway based on the changes and color.

Surprisingly I have been having a good time researching this bike, apparently knowing more about it than the dealer I use and helping others out.

 

Nice..What color did you go with?

 

I'm thinking it was a Blue 2024 FLHX Street Glide 117?

PS - Look at the image in his signature.

 

In 2025, I predict there will be Road Glide & Street Glide Specials again. Painted inner fairings and possible 121 non VVT motors and a few other things that could make them "special"? A few different colors? Harley has traditionally had a base model and a special. I suspect the prices of the base models will also go up. The low price this year was to get people on them. My two cents.

Talked to an Harley engineer at Laconia. Good conversation. Asked a couple of questions that I knew couldn't be answered but got some non verbal feed back. One thing that he did mention was "we know you guys like lower fairings".

 

Yep. Just looked at it. Very nice. 👍

 

If they raise the prices on the base models that will kill them. They are already expensive. No way. I know I wouldn't buy one. I can't see them doing that since they already have more expensive models like the ST and CVO. If anything the price need to come down.

 

did he Mime the feedback? and if so, what was it that he didn't say?

 

Maybe he flipped him the bird

 

I got sigs turned off, do it goes faster. Plus how many stock bikes do I care to look at?

I turned them off when people start including all kinds of pics

 

The non painted inner fairings is a disappointment. I mean how much would that really cost the motor company to do that. Even if they were all painted a gloss black like on the specials. It makes the bike look much more premium. The argument for making the CVOs stand out is not a good one.
