I wasn't aware the new Softails don't have water cooling.
Until I read the feature article on them in the new issue of American Iron.
I like the the look of the new Street Bob. Kinda reminds me of an Indian Scout Bobber.
I won't give H-D any of my new bike $$ but otherwise would consider a new Softail.

Take a look at the picture below, there's a radiator at the front, it must be for some form of liquid-cooling. The spec doesn't say much about cooling though.

Softails have never had water cooling. I thought all the new big twins do but obviously I was incorrect.

So if someone else does something Harley does they're a Harley Clone but if Harley does something somebody else's does they're just adapting old technology?

Lot of companies have tried to copy Harley's look...which Harley copied from the people who customize bikes...most anything that becomes popular in the custom world...Harley will put out a watered down version in a few years...still surprised they haven't put out an SG with a big front wheel.
