Hopefully Harley will take note of the un-impressive aspects and work towards improving them. Tyres can be swapped for a stickier pair, mirrors can be replaced by more functional ones from the RE Thunderbird. But practically nothing can be done about the weak brakes and weird foot-peg placement. Maybe an after market job on the pillion seat could make it a better place to be in. Lack of a fuel gauge is a major grouse, hoping Harley incorporates one or atleast makes it available as an accessory………….

Clarke- you said it. Its only a start. Hopefully it keeps growing and growing for Harley. Already some talk going on with the forums. HDforums.com and hdstreetforum.com are talking about this bike.

So here you go: Cruddy tires, funky pegs, weak disc brakes, un-impressive metal work on the tank. I'm glad Harley is breaking into the world market in the critical mid-size market. But, they've got a ways to go to catch up with any of the big 4 from Japan on quality and workmanship. It's a decent start, but only that. A start.
nice review with photos
