Looks like it might actually be easier to remove than the current shock.

I imagine Shotgun, et all, will just come out with new designs. This new shock looks to adjust damping and rebound rather than ride height. Also, not an on-the-fly system like an air ride.

Wondering what the GVWR is with that setup. I notice they don't list it on the site.

In the case of the Slim they're claiming it's 35 lbs lighter than last year's...

There now appears to be some sort of access panel where the oil tank was...
doesn't leave much room for an aftermarket fuel processor

It looks like a copy of John Covingtons "Steed Muscle Bike Design"

I understand they've done something with the BO's front suspension. "That" was overdue.

Ok just saw the HD web site. They killed the dynas... I guess with the new engine having one counter balancer. Its like half a rubber mounted and half of a counter balanced engine. Basically a little shake but not to much. So there is no need for two different frames. I kind of always liked the wide glide. Sorry to see it go . swifty....
