Why did they do away with the cooled heads? Anyone know? I sm sure some do! I just picked up a 19 CVO Street Glide. Glad i did. Seems they did away with two dpeakers snd the lowers on this years. Also seems like they did away eith the Limited Low or had that been done slready and i just missed it? I traded a 15 Limited Low on my CVO Street Glide!
Thanks!

As for radiators, I am not afraid of an o-ring. We need the baby boomers to die off so Harley can build better bikes.
This WAS a good thread.

You're wanting people to die so you can (maybe) get a better bike???? smh, geez. As a certified baby boomer, I disagree.

I like the new Low Rider S except for one thing, which is the same one thing I don't like about the standard Low Rider. The console is too big and bulky. Doesn't look as bad in black on the S, but still not to my liking. Why did they have to make it so bulky. The old Dyna console looked much better. Actually I would have liked to see them do something completely different and do away with the console and instead integrate the instruments & gauges into the sport fairing on the LRS.

**** on radiators. They don't cool off the cat convertor and that's where the heat is at. Plus you can't take the lowers off if you want to. Anyway, by the time I would be ready to buy another bike they will probably all be electric anyway.

Harley disappoints. Almost nothing new and even fewer bikes. Some nice colors at least. This is definitely the last year for the Sporty it looks like.

Some brands have radiators that are not in the lowers.

All i got that is air cooled are my chainsaws, weedwacker, Harleys and mower, but it has a fan. Even my snowmobile is liquid cooled.

I've rebuilt liquid cooled sleds, it is nothing to be scared of, just need some orings.

Do you need a safe place?

Whether you agree with sentiment, or not, these bikes will most likely go through many changes when baby boomers are not purchasing them, and will most likely be a lot more reliable. Maybe using the phrase not purchasing will not upset people.
