But for right now there is too many of us that love the simplicity of the Harley engine and the sweet sound they make.

Harley needs to offer the v-rod motor in the dyna line,then the baggers. Give the buying public the option of a water cooled *** kicking motor,or the air cooled 103. Once the option is there people will make the MOCO's mind up.
And the EPA is going to get their noses in there too.
Personally if my dyna was available with the v-rod motor I certainly would have bought it that way. Save me thousands of dollars in engine upgrades.
