Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the rider now be sitting behind an engine AND a radiator giving off heat?

Yeah, I've been thinking about this one too. I don't know how often those fans turn on, or for how long, but I'm not thinking we are going to like it when they do.

If there's a big hole in the batwing for air to get through, wouldn't water also come through on a rainy day?

im sorry.. that bike is ugly.. looks like an updated victory vision. i have been disappointed for the last few years, but the new bikes are the worst. i couldn't afford a new bike if i wanted one, so i guess my opinion doesn't really matter anyway. i still love my 2001.

It's the same vent they put on CVO RK's for 2013. Instead of being mounted in acrylic it's mounted through the batwing. You can close it quickly and easily. If you leave it open in the rain, then yes water will get through. It won't get IN the batwing though, if that is what you were thinking.

I would like to know what kind of hp and torque numbers they are getting. I would think they should have gone up a bit. I guess it depends on how much change they did in there
