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.

 

Hummm sure.

 

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

 

Road King Std.? I'll believe it when I see it!

 

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

Discontinued Harley Models



Every year HD evaluates their product mix. This year they have decided to discontinue for the 2014 model year :

• XR1200X™
• FXS Softail® Blackline®
• FLHTC Electra Glide® Classic
• FLTRX Road Glide® Custom
• FLTRU Road Glide® Ultra

 

Are they nuts discontinuing the Blackline? That's one of the coolest bikes Harley has made in years.

 

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

 

I heard from a friend of mine thats a salesman at the local HD shop the same thing as miniwolf stated.Re designed Roadglide & possibly water cooled.Guess we'll find out for sure in a couple a years.
