Good lord! My Cousin's brother in law works as a bartender in Milwaukee and heard two guys in suits talking that in addition there will only be two colors. Black with a white stripe and pink in honor of breast cancer awareness. The water cooled thing is also a bad rumor. It will actually be beer cooled. But only synthetic Schlitz will be sold by the dealer. (yes they bough the recipe for schlitz at auction in 1986) Look at the bright side. We can all now have numerous threads on which beer you can use in your cooling system.

So let me get this straight. They know they have a tooling problem They've know about it for a while. Like months and months.
It will take a complete model year to swap out the defective tool and install a new one.
WTF!

Water cooled Fugly. What a concept.

I just bought a 13 Electra Glide Classic. Last model year? Another reason to keep it.

I will be ready to trade by the time the 2015 models roll out. No RG I won't trade.
The Fuel moto headers and black exhaust shields have been installed sense this was take. Never go back to a bat wing
Better take care of that bike, might be the last one you ever see!

I like the "Ugly" Road Glide. It has a great stlye and shape. I always go back and forth on the batwing to shark nose. It's to bad they have to stop making them for a time period. I guess we will have to wait and see what the new "Ugly" will look like.

Just talked to my local dealer, 2014 Roadglide will be available with new water cooled 111 cu. thunder stroke shaft drive power train. Electric cooling fan in front of the radiator will assist in cooling on hot days.
