Road glide is done untill they redesign the fairing...80% failure rate on the paint line. 2014 is the year of water cooled on the touring line. Also the tour pak and bags are redesigned, more curved/wider bags. The fairing is different as well with the addition of a vent that adds a contour up from the headlight and opens to the rider, adjusts for rider
airflow. This is from a reliabe source.

What does that mean? Paint doesn't stick well to Road Glide fairings?

Every year we get these posts from a "reliabe" source ! its amazing to me the rumors around the new release for Harleys, I guess it shows that they keep a pretty good secret. Or we have an abundance of gullible people interested in being the first to spread non facts.

I doubt any 2014s are at Sturgis since they haven't had the dealer meeting yet (Aug 20?). I'm really surprised HD is getting away from the tradition of premiering new models at Sturgis.
Like Xaran said, it's pretty amazing in this day and age that Harley can keep such a tight lid on new model changes.

Wide Whitewalls, spoked rims, hard leather bags. Done.
Not really that big of a deal, if you really want one.

I guess when it comes from someone that had Harley Davison on their pay check its not reliable?
