Farking web site is cleverly designed to *not* give you a good look at the
180mm rear tire.

Yeah, but, they got new WHEELS!
Also, it only idles on one cylinder at stoplights.

That's not really new though, is it? My Evo used to do that from time to
time until I fixed the intake gaskets...

Well, that too!

I might! I only went 5 years between new bikes last time........'course
it's been 22 years on the other one........ Hmm, that's an average of 13.5
years. At that rate I'll be ready for a new model sometime in 2020.........
Ok, toss the phone book in the corner, I'll get to it one of these days.

Hmmmmmm, 180 on the rear?
With a little luck a larger rear tire will make yer ass look slimmer.

Didn't they just redesign the frame last year?
You also missed out the ugly ass exhaust 2 into 1 into 2 with the crossover
under the tranny.
Obviously to stop people making those embarassing tranny mount upgrades.

"Harley-Davidson rides on a new Touring chassis for 2009
MILWAUKEE (July 22, 2008) - Harley-Davidson puts an all-new chassis
under its popular Touring models for 2009, redesigned from the tires up
for a responsive ride and enhanced capacity and comfort. The seven 2009
Touring models ride like new motorcycles, but the iconic styling of each
has been carefully preserved."
I wonder why they did that?
Ah, here it is: http://tinyurl.com/5ry8cl
"A new chassis designed to deliver precise responsive maneuverability,
increased capacity and greater comfort for rider and passenger underpins
the seven-model Harley-Davidson Touring family for 2009."
So, they didn't put their engineering team on a new chassis to fix
problems with the old chassis - which didn't exist - This is clearly
continuous improvement.
"New from the tires up, the Touring chassis is based on a single-spar,
rigid backbone frame that supports an increase in load capacity of 70
pounds. This allows for a five pound increase in each saddlebag and the
Tour-Pak. A new swingarm contributes significantly to the overall
system. The engine-isolation system has been revised to reduce engine
and vehicle vibrations at idle speed."
A new swingarm and a revised engine isolation system ... Where have I
been reading about issues involving those?
ABS, Electronic throttle control, tire diameter increased 1 inch, fatter
rear wheel, Dunlop D407 tires, a lower final drive ratio, some styling
changes, blah, blah, blah ... The new chassis is the big news.
That and the new trike.

This would be a dealer with a shit-load of 2008s to sell?

Heh! OTOH, the dealers arn't the ones having to enlist an army of lawyers
to maintain some degree of plausible deniability. So, no, no big deal to
them.

hey it also has an increase in carring capacity so I could pick a chick that
weights 70 lbs more if I get a 09 bike!!!!!
I'm liking the 2008 weight limit better!!!

On the contrary, I believe that suit that was just settled in NC (where the
cop got killed) listed the dealer as a responsible party.

from a 2008 and earlier. A bit odd looking just from the photos.
Check out the 360 degree view and look at the left side.
