The reason I think the touring frame will change is to update the rear suspension to a mono shock setup and to design a new frame that Will work with a new automatic or clutchless shift system.

I agree especially since the MOCO is showing the whole cost cutting thing with the new 18 models. If they can have 2 lines using the same frame design that is a win for them. The suspension on the 18 heritage and fatboy i rode is a better suspension than the touring bikes.
