Are people going to continue making thug/club style bikes with the new softails?

adding dual guages became easier with the dynas and now even easier with new softails since they are all basically the same bike.
The low rider softail guages and harness are now going to be the default for club. and since they are all keyless, theres no need to worry about ignition switch relocation. Also takes care of the idiot lights since all but the breakout and street bob have the indicators in the guages.
We, the dyna forum, have already done the work and can plainly see how it's gotten easier. Proof of the pudding: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-quetions.html You are talking out of your patoot.
Adding tbars and etc are just as easy. If you go back and look at the "useless"(according to you ) oictures i posted of fatbob nuts and bolts, you will see the triple tree and riser bolts behind that ugly light. You gotta stop shooting your mouth off with out doing research.

Mods, please move this poster to softail forum. This confused soul is still dreaming of a new softail turned into Dyna.
And people blame HD for taking a different direction. They just cant get rid of the image the thugs and outlaws gave them. The new line just screams : It was a nice ride folks, now just leave us alone.

Put on your Big Boy Pants and get back in this ring, McGregor. LOL
I dont think you realize that not everyone wants stock. You are happy with it but, those who arent change what they dont like... we dont bitch about it or lay down and take it. Thats the real soul of hd. Make it how you want it. I dont want a boardroom bike. 😆

I stay in Dyna ring for ever.
You, not so sure. One day you wake up and you look at your headlight and it has become rectangular.

Anything can be done, whether it's these new models or old models. I don't think the performance oriented style that we see so often with the dyna and fxr will ever go away, and will continue on with the new softails.
I think it's even very likely we are going to see even more, due to how easy a lot of things are now to work on and change on the bikes.

You F***ing Guys realize your just fighting over a name right? "Softail". These new Harleys Are neither the old Softail or Dyna. Lighter Stronger frames and a Better suspension. Theres no reason you couldn't Mod it in anyway you like. And from what I hear the new bikes handle like there on rails better then the old Dynas ever did! So to me these would be great bikes to mod out "Thug/club style!! My choice would be the Street bob for that tho! The others are too much money and a different style.

While mine looks like so many others it's in the subtle differences that make each unique. Why those specific bars? Pegs? Grips? Pipes? Why that seat? What performance mods? These are all things we all ask ourselves and others, except for those who think that the one size fits all from the factory or out of the HD parts catalog is the only way to go.
Maybe he will see the light, maybe not, but don't let it get under your skin so bad. I'm going ride a new Fat Bob this weekend, and I'll see what it's all about. I'm not looking for a new bike, I'm totally happy with my bike as it sits, and it's only getting better with more mods. Let the guy hate your style, hate what you ride, and just give him the finger and move on.

DOOOOOOOOOD... relax. There's always going to be that guy, the one that just doesn't get it. I've got an FXDLS with some mods that make it look like a typical CA club bike. Why? Performance and comfort. I happen to like the way it looks too, and it's only going to get better as time goes on and more money is available.

i add, i dont sell. Plus i already said im buying one. Im just watch for issues and gripes. And ill probably get a 107. The 120 and 124 kits are alreay out and cost $~900. S&S cam kits are cheap as hell too. $190 for chain and ~$400 for gear drive. I'll never be on the frontline.
