Engine internals for 2011 models

Someone here posted a link to the slide show held for the H-D Dealer's meeting this past July. The show described a bunch of changes made to the internals for the 2011 big twin engines. I can't find the link to post it here or I would, but the point I'm trying to make is that H-D makes no mention of those or other internal engine changes on their new for 2011 model website.They seem to be definitely worth a few lines somewhere, gone are bearings in certain areas, "parent material" instead.
It seems the changes are at least worth a mention as to the changes (improvements?) they made to the new models.
Curious.

Thanks a bunch for the link!
Any idea why there hasn't been a mention anywhere?

I am guessing the MoCo doesnt want to draw attention to things that needed to be improved.....those of us with 2010 bikes or older might want them to do something for us.
