On the other hand, his English is a hell of a lot better than my French.

My wife was asking why I was crying so much reading this thread. As for his english, it's quite easy to understand. He probably wrote everything in french and had it translated in english with a translation program like Lycos. At least he tried but those translation programs aren't the best way to do it as we can see in the result.

Every year we hear this same BS and hysteria about water cooling. Dont worry about the Twinkie...it isn't going anywhere for 2010. Despite what all the uninformed 'experts' spout off about the EPA garbage. You won't see any major revisions to the big twin motor until 2014 when the current patents expire. At that time you will likely see a big twin that is still 45 degree, single pin crank. same firing timing, longer stroke than bore diameter, pushrod, but with oil cooled heads akin to the BMW boxer motor. With the oil cooled heads they can bump up the compression and power and still meet any EPA reqs. while staying away from an @ss ugly radiater.

Of course it is coming soon. Why do you think they stretched the frame and increased the carrying capacity? T.

I doubt its a matter of if but when. Just like EFI and ABS. Times change and HD will change to meet those times. When ever that is.
