just a few of a kind

The rumours being passed around internet forums are saying that Harley-Davidson are dropping several models from their range for 2010. They are the FLHT, FLTR, FXSTB, FXCW, FXDL and XL883C
The FXSTB is the one of them that interests me. That's my night train, so it may be that my wish for individuality will be fulfilled to a greater degree than I had imagined. Even better, if as a result, I need to spend even less money on customising!
I would imagine that the reason for dropping a model would be that it's not selling as well as others in their stable.
So maybe there are less night trains around.
I still will go down the custom route though. I may have to, if I'm riding a soon to be discontinued bike. Changing parts will not be so simple as picking them off the shelf and to be honest, I'm glad about that. Aftermarket's and bits from other Harleys can make things that little bit more exciting.
Watch out for my ideas as I do believe they are becoming clearer in my mind and so may find their way on to these pages soon.
