I'm not a tech guy. Is that a 2 into 1 with a ghost pipe exhaust?

It looks like it still has a pipe going under the frame to the right in the Ultra Limited pic and the specs page says 2-1-2

10% more, I believe is what they're claiming.

Lower idle (850, vs 1000) and higher oil capacity - 5 Qts

They will rarely state HP, but they have Tq listed at 111.

Not bad. If HP is close to 100 I would say mission accomplished.

The suspension is a bit of a let down though. It's basically a tweaked version of what we already have. I have to wonder if the rumors of the real change coming in 2018 are true. I hope so because this isn't enough to make me trade my 14.

Wow. What a coincidence. Harley comes out with a settlement that makes it illegal to work on your own bike. So you need to buy their new engine to be EPA compliant if you want a cooler, stronger engine.
How convenient, to throw your old customers under the bus.
