There is a "badge" on the windshield just above the headlight, which looks like it's for a Suzuki Boulevard, probably a C50. That, and the shape of the mirrors, tank, and directionals.

Incredible. Somebody's gonna lose their job over this. Here is a pic of the Suzuki badge. No question, that's what's showing on this bike.

Look again. It is definitely not a Harley. You can tell by the windshield mount, directional, reservoir, mirrors, etc. No chance it's a Harley...Jap bike all the way.

It's hard to believe that Harley would allow someone to put a Suzuki in their ad, but I went to the Suzuki website (and a few other sites) and I have to say that it sure looks like a Suzuki in the HD ad. I looked at the rear view mirrors and the emblem on the front of the windshield pretty hard and if I was a bettin' man, I'd say someone at HD is screwed.
If this is a Harley, tell us what year and where to find pics that match up the mirrors and windshield.

Nope.........it's funny but it is an optical illusion. I believe it is a springer and what you are seeing is the connector on the top of the springs. You can even see the nuts on either end. The symbol in the middle is actually behind the connector. I put it into a photo program and increased the size. Look again!

Here is the bike in the picture. It's a 2008 Boulevard C109RT. It's clear as day. No doubt about it.
