    Hey all,
    I really like the look of 2018 Fatboy.  I had a Fatboy back in the Evo days so I have a soft spot for them... especially those wheels!!  I know the modern look isn't everyone's cup of tea but no one can deny the new Softail frame is fantastic - Lighter and more rigid.  Who could ask for more?   :)    

    So, I am wondering what 2019 touring models might bring.  I am still saving up for a Road King Special.  With oil pump issues and fluid migration issues, I am happy to wait for the 2019 model year.  I also like that Softail range came from the factory with LED lights and new speedo with larger digital display (I'm getting old... can't read the current display very well).  But the main change I am looking forward to is the new, lighter and more rigid frame for the touring range.  Anyone care to guess if the new frame will be introduced next year?

    Of course no one knows for sure but I thought it might make an alright topic for a yarn on Friday night.

    Merry Christmas everyone!!

    The Touring frame was actually modified to house the M8 engine, so for that reason alone I personally doubt we’ll see a new Touring frame just yet.
