A lot of us have already discussed it in depth. It would definitely help to cool the heads, the hotspot, where HD had trouble getting the twin cam to market. I guess they could evaluate what the asians are doing to reduce the size of the radiators.
Personally, I hope they don't do it. But I don't have any ideas. I like the push rod layout too and don't want them to go overhead cam like Victory. Perhaps just doing the patent application will take the EPA eyes off for a few more years.
