Wow. It seems my tastes aren't so popular. I bought a 2007 sportster custom and traded it in for a 2009 FXD. Loved my sportster, love my superglide.

Too bad about the superglide, especially. Now the entry price for a big-twin is going up $1k. The FXD was definitely the best choice for me as a platform to customize.

I'd like to see a sport dyna with screamin' eagle performance parts and drag bars...kind of like the XR1200, but without the lame styling. Not going to happen, but that's what I'd like to see.

 

Why would they screw us with the custom colors? Morons.

 

I forgot how "in the know" the touring section was, now I gotta find the other thread about 2011s

 

If true, it kinda makes sense from a "Dyna Family" choice. The Super Glide and Super Glide Custom are so similar it makes sense to drop the basic version. I could see this lineup:

Super Glide Custom
Street Bob
Low Rider
Fat Bob
Wide Glide

All 5 have distictive personalities. The SG and SGC were too similar (if they were adding to the Dyna family in 2011 [low rider, super glide sport something]).

Yes, the SG has a low price-point and is a blank canvas for your mods.....but I understand if they make this move. Plus, they can bring it back in 2 years.

And I get the 1200 Custom removal too. Same thing as above. The 1200 Low is a carbon copy of it's sister. One had to go.

I'd be shocked to see the Softail Custom go though. But hey, it will generate a ton of interest when it comes back.

 

All riders lose from lack of selection. New riders coming to the Harley fold now have less to choose from. Not blaming HD, everyone is feeling the crunch.

 

Well if the Softail Custom is discontinued and not brought back I'll have one of the last 2600 anniversary models made. Only means something if I find a guy with a big enough wallet.

 

I'm worried about the FXSTC going away. I mean what are all the newbs looking to impress their friends gonna buy? lol

 

does that mean the super glide custom will be discontinued as well?

 

I think previous speculation in this thread is that the Super Glide Custom may be the only option instead of a Super Glide AND a Super Glide Custom.
