I heard they were gonna hook the time-space continuum into the HK stereo for 2015, if you have an accident you just hit rewind. Fast forward has alot of potential too.

So the only changes to the 2013 models are the colors. I'll bet the remaining 2012 models will not stay on the show room floor for long.

Appearances yes, but we dont have a lot of details about the guts.

Probably have to wait to see the 2013 model year technical forum document. I wouldnt be surprised to see the CAN bus architecture thats now on Softails, for example, and thats a pretty significant change.

better not wait for later/improved versions...the first guys with the tools will win the lottery before the laws change and everyone else will get screwed out.

That yellow and black is an eye catcher.

Man I really like that Road King. I bet that paint looks awsome in the sun. I may have found my next bike.

How are these "the new paint scheme"?
The 1st one is a Limited, the 2nd one is a Street Glide, the 3rd one is a two tone Road King.
If you mean "new colors" then I would understand.
