The only tour model this year in a brilliant color, the rest of the line is all darker colors. I am curious how it looks with a regular seat

Here’s some pictures with the Saddlemen Road Sofa on the bike. It took about an hour to remove the original seat. The hardest part was un-bolting the seat shock from the frame. I had to displace the ECU and battery cover. Mine is #1294.

Thanks for sharing the pics with the Saddlemen on it. Doesn’t look as good as stock but it’s certainly not ugly. I think if you recover it in white/black as planned it will look better too. The bike is a gem regardless. It will be a sought after classic for sure...enjoy!

I know what you mean. The stock seat really added a lot to the look. It was fun and really made for a smooth ride. I talked to Saddlemen about doing a new cover and they said no problem. 👍

Just curious as to what make the "Revival" bike a "sought after classic". For me a "sought after classic" would be more in line with this...





Not knocking it. I am sure that MoCo will have no problem selling everyone they produced

It is a nice idea, just not sure the price equates to the idea.

For certain, the things which make a bike a sought-after classic or worth the price...those can be individual and subjective. Objectively however, the EG Revival is meeting the 'sought-after' and 'worth the price' markers handily already based on apparent demand and sales.

Half-helmet in Birch White anyone?

Had I waited 2 more years...
These are gorgeous bikes. This color scheme is EXACTLY what I think of when I think classic touring bike. I love these!! Cannot afford one at the moment though, sadly. I dont get HD not doing LED lighting....
The only thing I would do differently on these, is change the footboards and grips to white. Just for something different.

While it would look cool for pictures, if my BMX days are any indication, people would hate them after about a week when they started turning gray and getting dirty

To the non Harley aficionado, that Saddleman seat makes that bike look like everyone else's Harley.

I agree. It's your bike I guess, but what's the point of buying the Revival (paying a premium price on top of that) and then changing the seat, thus making it look like a million other Harleys? I guess I don't get it, because you ruined the whole concept of the bike, it's now just another Harley.
