Default Will Harley make significant changes for 17?

It's that time again, is Harley going to make significant changes to the 17 touring models? If they do, I wonder if Rushmore owners will be quick to trade? Especially considering all the mods many of us have made and how happy most of us are with our bikes.

I think HD will finally upgrade the suspension closer to the aftermarket. Maybe a new motor. Time will tell....I'm not trading regardless!

I would bet my bottom dollar that the 110 will be the new standard motor in the touring bikes for 2017.

My Magic 8 Ball says "Ask again later", and my Magic 8 Ball is never wrong.

IMO, nothing significant will change on the Rushmores for a few more years. Maybe a small bump in the size of the engines and possibly TPI as an option or standard equipment, but nothing major.

By about 2025 they might have figured out how to make the "infotainment system" work as advertised, but I'm not holdin' my breath on that one!
