That linked article even says as much:
"..Don't expect to see the FLTRX Road Glide Custom or the FLTRU Road Glide Ultra in 2014, either, though Harley-Davidson promises both bikes will return after a redesign..."
What they should do is commit to what they do have. Drop the Dyna fatbob and make a new version of the Superglide sport. Take XR1200 front end and rear shocks n swing arm and throw them on the Dyna chassis with the black engine and trans. I love my bike but I'd wait in line for this version!
There's like 1/2 the Touring line up in that article.. I'd definitely go with the Redesign for Water cooling logic rather than they're just dropping them flat.
