This statement went a round or two in the telephone message game everyone did as a camp skit. Too many "they's" and "their's" have been changed and/or understood wrong. Pretty sure this means that all the big owners/managers at the dealer show will be seeing the new bikes at the dealer show tomorrow night. The 2014's are in a single backroom somewhere in Denver which is where the dealer show is this year. Or more likely they are on display in a giant convention room that Harley has not let the owners/managers in to yet.
Anything exciting will get reported back to the dealer employees and the info will get leaked to us.
You know that sinking feeling of buying something the day before the new model rolls around? hahahaha!
This is just around the corner. I'm surprised the leaks haven't started flowing more. Can't wait to see what's around the corner.

You have no sinking feeling. You bought the last year of the RKC, which is the exact bike you wanted. You did perfect no matter what they announce.
Surprised nothing is flowing more? Welcome to Harley my friend. Harley does what nobody else can anymore. They keep a secret. Pretty much everything but colors is kept a secret.

I attended a boot camp at one of the Denver dealerships last week. Got one of the employees to admit they had the '14s on site after I grilled her about the fact that I thought it was strange that the boot camp event didn't include a tour of the shop. The windows behind the service counter that allow people to see back in the shop were also covered up.
They're going to have BlueTooth connectivity standard on the FLHTK, along with HID lighting, and standard highway pegs that match the new FLHTK floorboards. Lowers and bucket bars are gone on the Ultra.
All Street Glides get a new fairing that incorporates dual headlights, also HID.
And the new FLHTKH gets regenerative braking and exceeds the Ford C-Max in fuel economy.

Yeah, dealers get new model year bikes early and hide them IF there is no major changes to the model. Bikes with major changes will not get to the dealers early.
