    I would argue that's not actually what's cool in the Harley lineup.

      My point exactly. This stuff isn't in the lineup but it should be.

      H.D.'s latest Brawler concept bike doesn't look promising either.

      I especially like the way the bikes ergonomic studies begin with a wooden mock up of the seating position for a Triumph speed Triple. Why not just buy a Speed Triple then?

        I think you misunderstood me Lerney. I think HD should stick with what they know, as in DYNA's and baggers. Nothing comes close to the feel and ride a Street Bob gives, and alternatively, there's plenty out there that beats the crap out of an XR1200.

        Like me, most people go elsewhere for "sportsbike" performance d handling.

          That's because you don't already have an XR1200 sitting in your front yard like I do. I'm just keeping an eye out for ways to improve it enough to make it real world rideable without a large cash outlay. If H.D. still produced a bike like the XLCR maybe I could do something about it. The market for this type of bike does exist. It just doesn't seem to exist here in the states as much as it does over the pond.

            So you mean aftermarket parts, not bikes. So really, it's not HD stuff you want but "aftermarket HD accessories."

            You and me can hold hands and skip now.

              That's correct which is why my post said Harley "stuff" instead of Harley's and the links all went to aftermarket *parts* sources. Still, it would be nice to get O.E. cafe stuff like on the previously mentioned XLCR had instead of cheaply made chromed crap so in some ways I do mean factory parts as well as aftermarket.

              In any event while I have use of it I don't own the bike so putting money into it is pretty much bottom rung of my priority list.
