Anyone hearing rumors about changes to the 2021 model? I just heard from my local dealer that HD isn't going to announce anything officially until Jan/Feb. I am wishfully holding out for Level 2 charging on the 2021 model (a man can dream cant he)....

The Livewire in the pic was converted to an adventure bike for the series hence the spoked wheels.
Thank you Mike. I looked online for wheels for adventure bikes and this was a very informative link (in case I'm not the only one wondering, but I probably am 
).

I don't see Level 2 as an issue for me personally given my ride patterns but I do see why it would be great for most. Hope the Harley Santa gifts you
I reckon a rear cowl including a decent volume of storage for those like me who never carry pillions would be very helpful. (I reckon they're going to provide bling things like a badge for the front of the battery etc - which is fine for those who like 'em, but I'd rather see the issues of storage sorted first).
My first and most personal wish is a set of OEM risers to lift the bars up an inch or two. Think of the physically decrepit percentage of your LW's customers for whom I am the poster geezer, Harley

Although I don't own a LW, this seems like a pretty practical desire. There are some localities that don't have L3, but they do have L2. I was looking to travel from Virginia to New Orleans on my soon to be purchased LW (hopefully), and I ran into in issue in Alabama. I couldn't find any L3 charging stations on a couple different routes through the state. At least with L2, your down for 2 hours and not 10 or 12. HD needs to figure out a solution for it. People will want to roam on these bikes, even though it's more of a "commuter".

Did a quick route plan on PlugShare. No waypoints but filtered for Level 3 charge.
