Okay, the missing disc , hydraulic clutch, and cruise control, probably explain the 100 pound difference between the heritage and road king. I want to know where that hundred extra pounds on my road king

I have been watching a lot of Youtube videos, and the young punks that bang wheelies on Dynas seem to be really digging the 2018 lineup. They kinda lament the passing of the Dyna, but the power delivery and balance of the new bikes is winning them over.

Once they ride them, you can tell that the initial impression is very positive.

I predict that used Dynas will be cropping up in droves for cut rate deals, just give it about 6 months.

I think Harley pegged the future market pretty well this time.

MoCo win-win.
This exactly!! They know most like chrome better, so sell it to the suckers as aftermarket. Brilliant!

I think my 14 will be with me for the rest of my riding time now.

I can see a lot of folks who want the classic type of style moving to Indian.
Yep. It looks like the RK is the only one they didn't f**k up this year. Don't care for any of the colors though.

Sure. Lifetime warranty until you touch the engine/exhaust, then sorry, but no warranty for you! (in soup **** voice).

Ditto. I think the new bikes suck. I checked them out while I was getting my Dyna serviced. No interest in them at all.

$22,000 for red primer? I don't think so.

Like I said in another thread, the one (and only) thing I do like about the new Heritage is the leather over plastic bags like the Boss Bags I have on my bike.
