New Wide Glide missed something...
the Street Bob apes, and the Fat Bob rear fender.
They have the parts, wonder why they didn't add them?

At least the WG has more rack in the head (34* vs 28*)

 

The MOCO doesn't pay for the trips, the dealers do, and if they don't want to, the employees are on their own.

 

Wouldn't matter to me who paid, as long as it wasn't me. And if it had to be me, I wouldn't spend it at a trade show for my own trade.

 

They took the TriGlide and stripped off the tourpack,engineguard/lowers gave it a new seat and called it a StreetGlide Trike.....how imaginitive.

 

Yeah...I saw that too and I don't like it. I was hoping it was a mistake as I was planning on buying the 2010 Street Glide. I guess I will have to get that changed out.

 

So if someone else paid, you'd be fine with whatever the trade show had, and if you had to pay, you wouldn't go. Good for you, but that ain't the way it works for the rest of the world, including the peeps from my local dealer, which is why I made my original post.

 

What could they have done better for those that want a three-wheeled motorcycle vs. a three-wheeled barcolounger?

 

It doesn't work in the rest of the world??

I've been to a trade show in Houston, Texas for Academy Sports and Outdoors. Paid for by them when I worked just part-time for them.

And I've been to Daytona Beach, Florida for a weeks worth of training, paid for by that employer too.

And this doesn't include any of the local trips for training and overnight stays that were required for it due to being at least 50 miles away, all at the employer's expense.

And if I had to pay for any of those trips, I would not have gone.

 

To make the Ultra Limited worth it why not jump up to 110" engine. I will be keeping my 06 Ultra Classic for awhile. I think an engine upgrade and maybe a baker 6 speed makes more sense then trading for longer more expensive payments.

You can't blame them I guess, with the economy and sales down it's surprising that they did anything other than "Bold New Graphics"....
