Being I am partial to large but non fairing bikes, I also like the Heritage, liked it before and liking the more updated look, look forward to seeing it in the showroom.
AS far as the blacked out look of all the new bikes, (this may sound old) Im not a big fan of it nor is my wife, I like chrome, few reasons, but big one for me is chrome is a lot more easy to clean, will never chip, water spot ya da ya da etc.
Black will age and bike will look older in time. Wonder if it will affect resale, like on metrics. I see some of these "denim" bikes now and they look years old in just a short time.
Even though I say I am not a big fan of it, Im not saying never would I own one.
Fat Bob, hey, I think Harley has to experiment and think outside the box to she what works and doesnt, I like the look, maybe the headlight doesnt match the rest of the bike, meaning the shape ok but looks out of proportion to the rest of the bike, needs to be larger, shape ok.
