This offers a little more detail into the engine changes. I thought I might park this here to get some thought by those in the know think about them.

It's been announced by the MoCo now, so we can read all about it on the H-D website, or at our local friendly dealers!

I know we all can now. I was just curious as to what the aftermarket builders think about the changes and what impacts the changes combined with the EPA decree mean down the road.

There's a long thread over in Touring and one member comments that the EPA thing has been in force since the 1970s, so it is unlikely anything is going to change any time soon! IMHO it won't be retrospective either, so buy now while stocks last....
