Default New Harley Davidson Custom Chopper for 08' $17k

Thing looks pretty nice, Wouldn't mind having one considering the price of other custom choppers. Plus I like the peace of mind that i have a huge dealer base.


What do you guys think??













Edit...some more pics

we were just talking about the new models on the HD Forums...

Not a fan of the grey engine or the different color on the swing arm, but that might just be some options. The seat looks out of place with that gap on it and have you seen the picture of the 2up seat for it? Disgusting. Also, the way the speedo sticks up from the tank.. YUCK


Another bike they came out with that looks wierd is the "Fat Bob"...

It has a 130mm front tire on it and dual head lights.

They also redid the Softail Custom with an old school 2 up seat.

I must admit this is def. not the best picture i've seen of the bike. I like the dark red one harley has on it's site. And yes the two up made me ......the thing is hideous.


And the fat bob is very ugly IMO.


I was thinking about getting a nighster a few months back....but i want to save up some more money so i can put down a huge downpayment.
Just add some drag bars and some different pipes.

Thats the Rocker C with the passenger pad flipped up. I guess it hides under the regular seat somehow.

I think it looks better in that picture (minus the seat) then the one you posted.

Thats the Fat Bob....

I agree with Cecil... that Nightster is a good looking Harley... but, the Fat Bob is definitely not a good looking bike...

And what is with the grey engine parts?

is the Fat Bob a HD attempt at a "motard" of sorts? What's with the "all terrain" tires??????

How can they call it "custom" if it's mass produced?
