    Yes. Power windshield on all models. John and I went and checked them out yesterday. They had 2 tours and 2 non tours. 1 of each in dct and 6 speed manual. Said 2 of them are demos and they can’t sell them until August. They sure are nice.

    Hey, Chop, not me. I got the B, just how I want it. However, the new bikes sure looked and felt nice. I sat on the new wing, and pushed the front up and down, tried to wiggle the front wheel, like I saw in a video, but I found no issues. Time will tell, after they have been ridden several thousand miles. Now, as far as me , I may ADD a new wing in a year or two, but it will be an addition. I don't think there will be much "trade in" value on our bikes in the future. If these new wings turn out to be great, then the market will be flooded with trade ins and private sales.

    I agree with your post for the most part and intend to wait a while before "plunging into debt again"...The new bikes are surely nice and have many needed and wanted improvements....Not sure at my age of 78 I really need another new ride....As far as these "so-called" new front suspension issues are concerned I say "BS" and lets wait and see...Many after market companies are always anxious to sell new items that make them $$$..JMHO and ride safe
