Harley is a slave to cosmetics. When Willie G and the boobers are gone, things will change. Not saying I am a saint.

 

WTF! Get a life.

 

Willie G has been gone from Harley a long long time. Boomers have been dying off and half that are left their minds are gone.

 

I like some of their new styling, but some things I could do without. I just don't like the fact that they are progressively making it more difficult to work on your own bike without having to order everything from the dealer or have to go to the dealer to have something "flashed" every time you make a change. As with everything else, the consumer will buy what they like and if Harley doesn't make those things, they will go out of business.

 

I'm sure some will chime in, but the Rushmore Project was meant for enhancements to the entire Harley line. The touring family got the most enhancements from the start, but the Fat Bob got a new look and the Sporties got the optional ABS and security, among others, in 2014.

Me too and I'm not ready either!!

 

If gen Z and all the other trophy kids keeps bashing boomers we should all leave our weath to a charity when called home. #lastlaugh

 

Styling can grow on you but as long as the bike is reliable is the question. If it is then it’s a great machine. Hate 2 spend 25k or more for a headache. I still remember when the 99 models came out and twin cams took over, motors were dying in 500 miles I remember at Americade brand new bikes blowing up

 

do what you want nobody cares. I retired 7 years ago at 45.
