I made a post over 10 years ago, #26, under "EPA Killed MY Harley", about doing this very thing.
I called it Electro-hydraulic, or linear-activated. My way would eliminate a lot of moving parts, save fuel, and increase HP.
Way to be on the cutting edge, MOCO!

From what I've read the new Revolution motor is designed to be modular, allowing several configurations and sizes. Could these VVT heads be an option for the Revolution instead of an entirely new motor design? Maybe they are planning to put the Revolution into all of their bikes with various mods and options, including VVT.

I was being sarcastic. Though you have to go look for them.
Used to be threads over the years about some CAFE standard or such. If they are even real, one answer was companies patent all kinds of ideas, that never see light of day.
Used to have the premise they were discovered or such. Harley doesn't put them on new site.
