Default 2009 Touring

Greetings,

I know it's early for 2009, but I heard a rumor somewhere that there will be a frame change for 2009 touring models. Has anyone else heard this?

Thanks

Ride safe and keep the rubber side down.

I heard they are putting jetpacks as an option in 09.

Make perfect sense as they have ABS crammed in as well at the front mount over the rocker cover.

I have a bike, but its a 2006 RK with ABS, which takes up half of my saddlebag. I am just going to wait and see what the 2009 Police RK's have to offer. I am hoping for athicker tubedframelike the Dyna got a few years ago.

The dealers and owners don't even know so whatever rumors you hear are made up with no credibility.

No one knows except those who've signed an ironclad non-disclosure/confidentialityagreement.

Oh, and Willie G.

Let's be serious here. I dont care about the jet pack or third seat. I just want to know if the frame rumor was true.

The dealers should be going to their meeting in July if I remember right and at that time the MOCO will enlighten them on all the new things for 09. Anything you hear before then is purely speculation. Right after they get home the new 09's should start landing on their docks.

New Frame..... Making room for that water cooled option?

Actually a new frame wouldn't be a bad thing if they get it right.
