Maybe they will make it look more like the Victory Vision.

Well.... I haven't ever see the MoCo "discontinue" a model to change the design or placement of something like the fairing.
IF there is any truth to the liquid cooling RUMOR, it will not be in the current frame with a radiator hanging off it.

Bought my Road Glide this year and sold my V-rod last year. The v-rod was a hell of a bike. Lots of fun. I am just to old for that. Road Glide is more my style now. Could make a good combo. I will give it a shot.

Believe the initial idea was to put the radiators in lower fairings.

This kind of makes sense to me, as perhaps the Road Glide is highest average mileage bike. Most owners are drawn to it due to it's fairing being the best for long road trips.

Maybe this model could most easily cope with the additional weight and complexity of added water cooling, and the benefits would be most advantageous on long highway cruises.

No matter. Eventually HD will be forced into water cooling, and perhaps this is the best bike for them to start with.

Imagine a side benefit of water cooling will be additional HP and Torque.

After road glide, I would expect to see this next on the Tri-Glides.

(but I could be wrong)
