All speculation but with the rebates and the changes happening recently with the MOCO i would say a strong chance we will see changes to the touring bikes.

I agree, at the very least I think the 114 should be standard for touring and also adjustable windshield. Some changes to the frame is also possible since the Softails have.

well I don't think dealerships even get confirmation on what's new until 2 weeks before they are being shipped

I test rode both the Heritage and the RK and 5 minutes into the King I knew I had to have her. 17,288 miles and we are still together with no issues.

The one thing I did like was how smooth the Road King was. It was like butter smooth. Like ridiculously smooth. But I wouldn't trade my 2015 Road King for one though.
