I dunno... I quite like the look of this (assuming the passenger seat is removable)

It's a joke...Sure there may or may not be a Softail Rocker, but those images HAVE to be fake.....The have to be.... (I keep repeating it in my head).... Until the 08s are revealed, I'll just wait it out and knock back a few... [sm=icon_guiness.gif]

If that is where HD is going with their styling, I'll be keeping my 'Train for some time to come. But then, Triumph had something similar on the drawingboard for the Rocket 3 but they dropped it like a hot rock.

Get rid of that funky passenger tower and add some decent rear lighting and I think you just might have a winner there. But I think it "might" look better with he FX fork tubes instead of the FL's.
Not sure about the FX tubes and a 21" tire, I don't think it would look very good at all.
But that's just a personal opinion, somebody elsemight love the hell out of it.

I was told last night by a dealer that the Deuce and the Springers were gone for '08 and he thought one of the Dynas was gone also. He'll let me know once he's back from the dealer show next week. Said the MoCo was working on bikes that would attract the younger crowds...like the Street Bob, the newer VRod. All the Street Bob's he's had in the store that they upgraded with the old style metallic seats and Z bar style handlebars with bicycle type handgrips were gone less than a week after they put them on the floor. All of them to guys under 30.

The only Dyna that they would be seriously demented to get rid of would be the Wideglide, and that's the one that there have been rumors about going.
Except for the WGthe Dyna's all look pretty much alike to me, I just never could tell them apart.
So if they "loose' one I'll have to go look an older one up to see what it looked like.
If they are changing a couple of the bikes around to attract a younger buying market I can't really fault them for it. It gotta be tough for them to figure out how to compete with the rice rocket type mentalitly of the newer riders. Unfortunatly even the Buell's have trouble doing that, and they are actually better bikes for day to day street riding than the Busa types. I mean you can actually use the Buell's performance envelope on the street without getting locked up for doing 175+ in a school zone.

Shouldn't they call it the Rocktail?

Default RE: Backrest/ saddlebags

Hmmmmm... didn't think you would be able to attach a sissy bar/backrest to the new Rockers.... but I was wrong. HD already thought about that...
