Electra Glide Classic
Softtail Blackline
Road King Standard

It looks like the rumors were true with no Road Glide for next year. Kinda surprised about the Road King though.
no road king ?
Very surprised........

This is the same list that I saw but I coulda sworn that it was the FLHR Road King being disco'ed and not the classic. The classic is a much better seller so it would make sense for the standard to get the axe.

At the motorcycle show this weekend, I heard they were going to add liquid cooling to the touring line. They would redesign the fairing to add an internal, hidden radiator in the front like a car grille, but with a non-descript grille. They wouldn't touch the Electra or Street glide at this time but are going to redo the front end on the road glide with this new fairing. Due to the added weight, the fairing will be fixed like the Road Glide and not attached to the forks. It will no longer be the road glide and will be the first liquid cooled tourer.

If they are dropping the EGC and the Roadking, maybe they are either going to Hd1 the entry level touring bikes.

If it's on the internet, it's gotta be true. Here is a copy & paste.

Weird about the Road Glide Ultra being taken off. They only brought it out about 3 years ago, didn't they?
