The article talks about a revamped compensator. I wonder what they did.

So you're saying the older twincams are worth next to nothing?

If they are EPA/CARB approved, they are the parts that Harley should have put on at the factory. But that's not the Harley way....first sell you the bike, and then sell you the stuff to make it better/faster.

Didn't you get the memo? If you even think about modifying the bike, the black EPA helicopters will be heading your way.

I think the 16 and under twinkies just got more valuable. If you want more power than what the stock 8s have.

Is it me or did they take a cue from the 4-valve head that Buell was strapping on the XL a few years ago. Also they probably could have stayed with one plug if they kept it in the middle Hemi style. But it is a style of Hemi somewhere between the Chrysler current dual plug hemi and the Aston Martin DOHC Hemi that also had 4 valves.

So you all that buy them can slap a HEMI sticker on the saddle bags.
