Default Return of the Low Rider?

Do you think we will ever see the return of the Low Rider? Maybe for 2012? If so, what changes would you want to see made to it?

One of the Companies most popular bikes in the last 20years..i wish they would reduce some of the to many models they have now and just make 3-4 bikes.

Yes,i think the Low-rider will be back

There is a new 09 for sale near me but the dealer is asking over 16K for it. KBB retail is a bit over 13K so I don't know how they expect to sell it.

According to the '11 color charts, the Low Rider will remain a Euro-only model for '11.

This came up last tear and it seems the MOCO tried to fill the void with the Superglide Custom and also by lowering the Dyna fleetto assist in acquiring the flat foot on pavement. The FXDCI (?) is decked out pretty much like my 05 L/R, not sure what the neck rake is.

As the only cruiser with a tach, it's always been hard to see why it didn't sell a lot better. I was hoping they'd black it out, reduce the price, and bring it out as their mid-year 2010 model.

No, don't think we'll see a return, but if they did, I like to see drag bars and the nalace (or whatever it's called) over the headlight, like the Sportsters and some of the Dynas used to have.

who knows. Harley has had a lot of success with the blacked out dyna line. To me adding a black engine to the FXDC(2010) and keeping the price low, there is no need for a lowrider.
