I'm just glad I bought my 2017 Slim when I did.

The 2018 Slim is the most visually indistinguishable from the previous model year compared to the other 2018 Softails.

Actually, the 2018's are closer to the original Softail suspension design than the Softails that have been in production from 1984-2017.

if only we had an internet when Harley introduced the batwing fairing... or when they introduced the Dyna just a quarter of a century ago... and on and on and on.

Great photo!

Looks like a V-max met a Suzuki boulevard - In person they are nice just not for me, if you`re in to drag racing then this is it but in the twisties I don't think it`ll perform very well - no fat tire bikes do. But for a muscle bike it has a place - until "Mr.Max" (v-max) comes along.

That pic looks awesome. As for not handling well in curves? I'll let you know as soon as I receive my ordered 2018 black Fat Boy.

I'd never considered one before but the 2018 Low Rider has me thinking that this could be the right bike for me...

I looked at, and sat on, the 2018 Low Rider yesterday and I really liked it. It sits roughly at the same height as the Fat Boy, so I had no problem flat-footing it with my vertically challenged 5'7" height.

I like the struts instead of spokes, liked the handlebars, liked the instrumentation.

Like the Fat Boy, the primary juts out more than in previous years, but I guess that is a characteristic of the 2018s, or most of them.

A lot to like with the Low Rider. Sure glad Harley kept it in the line-up.

Nice looking ride, but that blue/red color option looks like an AMF throwback.
