in 2010, you will see a water cooled HD motor over 100 cu inches to replace the 96er... The EPA mandated stricter regulations that go into effect in 2010 and HD can stretch the venerable air cooled 96 no further..
If you like water cooled, it's coming soon and if you don't you'd better pony up for an 09 or older now while you can. Bet on it!
But just the same, I think his message is rather clear: Don't do Drugs!

Hi,Be first proofs which were made by an engine cooled by the water for Big Twin ( Heritage Ultra). The engine Revolution would not serve due to the lack of a driving pair to move so much an iron kilo. It is not the lsecret that the TC96 does not carry out to one today the rule EPA on 2010, as he(it) (she)((it)) it did not consist of the fact that the carburized TC88 did not carry out the EPA on 2006. What if it is a secret is all that .
express only that I read that say the mechanics expert and very authorized in the subject who know much more that they (they) tell. For example a voice(vote) very authorized in the material(subject) is Donny Petersen de American Iron Magazine, who consists in little of persons of the fact that they (they) were invited to Milwaukee in Mars 98 for 88 discovered the big secret of the company, the engine Twincam, and for them to ask for its opinion.
What do you think about that ? it,s better buy know before a new and ??? engine.
thank,s at all.

The Rocket III actually needs a bigger radiator. Several reviews I've read said it's like saddling up a pot belly stove to ride and on hot summer days is almost unbearable because of the heat generation. I think HD can manage to do something inconspicuous near the bottom of the frame reminiscent of a large oil cooler to satisfy the water cooling and maintain the look most want. I'd like one (but not the first year).

Thats ok, your english is better than my french. Like many others here, I think a new liquid cooled HD is in their future. I just don't think we'll know about it until it hits the showroom floor.

Glad I'm not alone in making sense of this post. WTF is right. I thought the california bikes were already 2010 compliant with the cats and canister. If thats the case ther maybe something new for them but the rest of us will still see the same bikes as usual only with a canister on it. Pleased that we don't have CARB in Missouri. Only 8 months and we will find out for sure. I hope the 96" motor is more than just a 3 year run.
