I think the patent for a water cooled engine has been around for awhile.

I got some info in the last few days that this system may be showing up on the 2013 Harley's. Touring bikes I imagine.

Im watching. It seems the patent is for water cooled heads rather than a complete water cooled system. If I remember correctly patents dont last for ever, something like 19 years or so than someone else can come along and modify it than own it. Maybe the timing has it it where HD is positioned to take it over. Like I said Im watching.

the only changes Harley will make for 2013 are different colors

maybe something like Arugula Green, Pinot Red, or Raspberry Swirl.

Is it just me or are their bike color names starting to sound more and more like nail polish or lipstick colors every year?

Wonder how they will keep the heat of the rider. There are enough issues with that already without adding to them
