Is this about liquid-cooled engines?

1965,1983,1998,and 2002 were the years people wondered if it was the last of the best Harley's. I guess some will add 2013 to that now.

Life goes on, things change. Harleys will still rock. I'll buy them. Ke sera, sera. I am tired of, as William F. Buckley said, "standing athwart history, yelling 'STOP!'".

Not all new Harleys are water cooled for 14 on select few like CVO's... Here is a picture my dealer just posted of a CVO with it... His post was "Cooling Done Right"

Ahhh, It doesn't go all the way across the front of the engine. It's like two small raditors.

It's only on...what...3 bikes? Those 3 bikes are still air cooled Harley's but with some water going into the head at the exhaust port. We bitch all the time about them being too hot. I think it is tastefully done. I bet companies will figure out how to hide them well.
