Give some realistic ideas on what YOU would have liked to have seen. What could they have done to impress you?

I was serioulsy looking forward to their idea of a water cooled tour bike. It's bound to be coming so I thought possibly this year with the supposed demise of the Road Glide...which of course turned out to be bunk.

In my case it's easy. Previous posts with epa test pages show the fxstc with a 103. Didn't happen. Since the bike is virtually unchanged since 07 the 103 would have kicked up sales. Instant hotrod. Even a simple wheel change can make a bike unique for a new year model, but the 103" would have been killer.

Dont like the Exhaust. They sit higher. And like rbabos said the engines havnt changed.
True duals would have been cool. That 2 into 1 has never impressed me.
Get the bike in weeds. People are always lowering their bikes anyway.
The government EPA standards are what screwing the pooch on the engines. Gotta love the libs.
As far as water cooled. HD gives plenty of resources for those that want that.

The Wide Glide could have at least looked like a Wide Glide. Whoever decided to change the rear fender should be shot.

My only problem with the MOCO has been the way they cow-tow to the whiners and snivelers. Not much in the way of changes doesn't bother me in the least.

Yup . Damn that MoCo listening to what customers would like. Shame on them. On the bright side for me, I'll keep what I have since there's really nothing that catches my whiney snivelling eyes.
