I don't think it is because they are a twink at all, the market has been flooded.
The Bucket Kickers can't even trailer theirs anymore. (slight exaggeration but that is where it is going)
Sales are dwn as there is no one to sell to-but that is another story.
I have seen baggers going for as low 4K!
Back to tmy twink biotch - If I remember correctly the fact manual allows 0.009 crank TIR now.!!
Gears would not work very well with all that wobble going on.
That is way out of the allowable 003.5 (1.5 ) each direction they used to dictate as in the specs.
So they allow loser crank standards.
I have no idea which years are worse than others.
I know they stopped using the Timken on the crank main bng, which was a bean counters ploy to save two cents.
That was for sure a mistake.

All in all the Twink was the largest continuous run HD has ever done.
Now they sit with no one to ride them, and this gets worse every day as all the owners are getting older.
That's my opinion and you all are allowed to disagree.
