Thats a nice bike. I rode 1 at demo days. I wonder if you can add forward controls?

You can. The mounting points for the foot controls on the new frames are the same whether you have mids or forwards.

Don't give a flying **** if they call them a softail or not. Those who keep moaning about metric ... park one of the new HDs next to a metric one and find out how wrong you are.
^^^ This. Metric schmetric. Just a bunch of empty bellyaching from people who can't tell you WTF "metric" even means.

Find someone with a Fat Bob who wants mids and you can swap the parts. (Guy with the Fat Bob will have to do something about his exhaust though)

Same here. Def want to see one in person. No dealers around here have one yet. That is sweet little ride though. Round rear tire, and more ground clearance than the Breakout, so much more willing to turn in. Only problem: no 114 option. Mystery to me why they wouldn't do that.

Hoping to demo some before the end of the year. I like the Heritage 114 and Fat Bob 114. Hope the Low Rider S returns for 2019 as a 114.

X2

It had to be intentional. I see they are now offering AMF styles helmets etc. so that must be their next marketing thing. It's kind of stupid considering how many people look at the AMF years with disdain.
