#1020469 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Well Look at THIS! 6 Months ago   Looks like HD is coping the Yamaha Road Star now. Looks kind of like my custom Road Star don't it. We are miles ahead of them. They even went to 4 valves now. GO FIGURE!

Looks like they stuck a RAP unit in there, and called it their own.

They did make sure to cover that fact with the exhaust system in every iteration, otherwise it might look too much like a Jap bike. Wet sump is nice, no more hot oil tank to cook your leg. No mention of the prices, they mentioned weight loss but not price loss. If they actually do handle better remains to be seen, I'll wait for reviews from some more objective sources. Hard to think of a Dyna without shocks. Aren't they just more Softails now? What ever.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020479 ultrastar (Moderator) We Call Her Big Red (Secretariat) 110 Big Bore Moderator Posts: 9536 Re:Well Look at THIS! 6 Months ago   Father_Pobasturd wrote: I think the rear part of the swing arm is a massive departure from the "traditional" hardtail look ( like on our bikes).

I do have to agree about that fender being up way too high on the rear wheel   Logged     My Rides   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020483 Dick M.

Harley sold much of the same old same old for a long time. Now if they could just do something with their pricing.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020497 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5142 Re:Well Look at THIS! 6 Months ago   as always I cant tell one from another. they are just moving parts around as usual. Certainly some upgrades. Wet sump? That I like, never understood our roadie's half assed sort of dry sort of wet sump set up.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020716 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Well Look at THIS! 6 Months ago   Well I got to give em credit for trying something new for them even if it copies what is selling in other brands. Price is one thing that will never go down. Still like the old styles just not the price.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020724 drumsonly2002 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1384 Re:Well Look at THIS! 6 Months ago   I appreciate my Road Star more than ever after viewing the new line up. Nice to see Harley trying new things. The Road Star was way ahead of its time.   Logged     If it is broke, fix it. If it is not, make it better!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020726 Father_Pobasturd (User) VENI VIDI VICI Platinum Boarder Posts: 4980 Re:Well Look at THIS! 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago   How can you be way ahead of you time with a retro bike?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
