Why are there so few aftermarket parts for 2006 Harleys (unlike earlier models)?

Question

I've found most of what I wanted, and I can/will make the rest myself.

I don't like the new image, either.
Unfortunately, I had to wait about 20 years to get mine.

midnightrider: looks like you had a couple. Don't get mad. I'm not knocking H-D. I like my Superglide. There's nothing out yet. Look at J&P or V-Twin. You won't find squat for an '06. And the image is the rollin' in dough lawyer/doctor in a tie, nose in the air, etc......................

Answer 1

The market will catch up, basically the demand is not there yet because people don't always start modifying a brand new bike right a way. Give it some time and the stuff will come.And as to the twin cam, it does have a "weak link" there is a nylon/plastic guide for the cam chain that wears out fairly quickly,there is a fix, a gear drive conversion, $1000.I'll stick with my stroked Evo.

Answer 2

what do you meen less. crap thay have more everything now than thay ever had.

and if harley dont have it aftermarket will.

also ther is nothing wrong with the twin cam, it is a far more supiror motor than enything else thay have made. and evos arnt old school dork.

o your tour up by its image hu. what emage is that. some dork thinking that evos are old school, and that good running motors are to be tore up.

git the fu*k out of here b*tch, befor i slap the sh*t out of you.

i am a certified mechanic for harley davidson and i know my harley bikes. so you need to shut up about harleys untell you know what your talking about.

i drive a shovel head and love every minet of it but a new motor is always better than a old one.

Answer 3

Because when Harley phased out the Evo engines, it all went downhill from there. Sorry, I'm old school. I believe Harleys were meant to be torn up, customized, and ridden into the ground. Don't get me wrong, I love my Bad Boy, but I'm almost sickened at what Harley has done to itself and its image.

Answer 4

good answer.I'm old school.Id rather walk than ride a Honda.What happen to the Harley's you could tear down in the motel room rebuild and be on the road the next day?.Harley wasn`t making any money that answers your question

Answer 5

strech has probably nailed it as a late 60's , yet a image could pass a protracted way. I published a hyperlink decrease than to 3 pictures of them which could help. many of the Aermacchi's have been pink and white.

Answer 6

Because the new environmental laws for the 06's are getting real tough. 07's are going to be harder to modify!
