I think one thing Harley doesn't do so well is the look.

well when think about it the roadglide fairing is the same for how long? 15 years or so? - i gota agree, granted they are still selling like hot cakes, but still cosmetic changes are a good thing.

but at same time when buying parts, when nothing changes and its across the touring line its nice.

But if you set a r* beside a soft tail, take the badges off and see how many similarities there are. theyre damn near the same bike. for that matter take just about any big twin cruiser, strip the badges, and they all look about the same. there will be some major differences, but there will be major similarities also.
a person that has never rode a bike in their life probably thinks all cruiser looking bikes are harleys...

Well, that depends on the soft tail. The fat boy, sure, some. But the R* has better lines IMO. The tank flows better. The FB tank is the same Soft Tail tank as the custom with a skinny front end.

I agree. But it's a good look, IMO. So, I'm not complaining.

Agreed, I wasnt complaining either. I was just commenting on what someone said about how they didn't like the looks and lines of a Harley.

Re:Why do they (hd) hate us so much? 1 Year ago  
Yeah, I said that. Yamaha did a great job with the look of this bike. Harley reuses tanks and frames for their entire line up with a few tweaks in sheet metal here or there. Some look good (Fat Boy) and others, well, they just don't flow as well. But this is my opinion. If everyone agreed with me Harley wouldn't make so many bikes.
