I was at a supplier today that also does tool builds for HD and he showed me some drawings for the 2013 model year...All I can say is if these design drawings have been approved...The road glide will still be around for 2013 model year and will have a newly designed front fairing! He also said they will also be bringing out 4 new models for their 110 anniversary...Not sure about that because he didn't show me any other drawings except for the roadie. The fairing looked a bit more streamed lined + it was louvered in the top almost like a hood scoop so to speak...looked really cool on paper! Take it for what it's worth...just reporting what I saw.

 

why didn't you get copies?

 

Umm...because I don't work there + he wasn't going to give me any copies even if I asked for them.

 

You just never will know since you don't ask

 

goes to show even hd knows that fairing is FUGLY and they need to do something better

 

Hmmm.....wonder if it will be water cooled.

 

Maybe but it didn't look fuctional to me more for looks

 

...... THAT doesn't matter !
.. You're a registered member of THIS forum & our interest in rumors about future models trumps work regulations, confidentiality agmts, friendships, whatever .... on any day of the week. You KNOW that & i feel you've let the forum down. Now go out & do fifty miles w/o the radio before comin' in for the night & we'll post further in the morning.
.......... louvers on the front of the fairing huh ? Don't s'pose they'd hide the workings for an electrically operated windshield, do ya ?
...... and here i was thinkin' the big deal on the '13s (110th anniv) would be a standard 110"er

 

that's telling him

 

Tough crowd !!

Maybe it'll have louvers that open too . . .

As long as they don't put the amber running lights in
the mirrors like a GW, we'll be ok.

I hardly ever see VRod's around . . . Once in awhile.
I just don't see the water cooled thing workin for Harley.

Not that the VR is a bad bike (love or hate thing)
