Default springer in the future

HI,
with the way HD bring back old models, in some cases like the breakout or Dyna low rider, will they bring back the springer?

Who knows what they will do. I doubt it, that front end is expensive to build. If you want 1 there are lots of them in the used market.

They have to figure out how to get the thing to work with an ABS system. So far no luck. As far as price, it does cost more, but we would pay for it if it were available,

If you want a springer I would suggest going to the aftermarket. I have been thinking about get a Slim and getting a springer frontend.

One can only hope. I agree that it probably has something to do with them not knowing how to fit a springer with ABS. I don't care about cost. I would pay the premium.

It's all about the bottom line. They brought back the Camaro, Charger, Challenger, Mustang and any other car that will sell. If HD thought they could produce it at a profitable price and the demand was there they'd do it. Unless there's a law that dictates ABS brakes I can't see any other reason not launch an updated version.

They should, used ones bring damn near what they cost new. HD are you listening?

I have also heard they can't make the ABS work with it. Not sure that's why they killed it but guys with used ones are smiling!

A Heritage Springer with a 103 engine and 6 gears would be interesting.
