When (and if) Harley goes water (liquid cooled), I think it will be an evolutionary process rather than revolutionary.

Anybody know if once again the summer dealer meeting announcing new MY details is pushed out to late August? Sounds like it based on this quote from last year I googled up...

"While we recognize that a late August new model introduction does not allow for new motorcycles to appear at late summer events (like Sturgis in the U.S.), we believe the timing change provides a greater benefit to positively affect sales for dealers and product availability for customers."

Ok guys i just spoke with my dealer! Apparently the OP is correct but more importantly is that it is an option the you can purchase. the bike prices will remain the same based on the model, however; the water bottle will cost 5 grand more for base models. this option is not available for the limited series as they will not be water cooled. the limited will be introducing the flux-capacitor with 200 jigawatts of power to the rear wheel. Pricing has not been released yet. It appears that the engineers keep drinking the miller lite fuel and eating the bananas before they can test it. more to come

I remember back, say around 1980, that new models would not have a kick start....

Yeah, but the OEM kick start was gone by what... 1985 or 1986....?

Rumors are rumors, but every year I believe the water cooled Harley gets closer to reality....

Well no one can say they did not "tiptoe" into EFI.

My reply to a similar posting on the same subject ...

I got this inside information from the friend of a guy who knows the night clerk at the 7/11 ... His girlfriend has an uncle who knows a guys who lives outside of Detroit and according to his ex-wife's boyfriend there will not be water cooled units in the HD Touring line this year ... After suffering from the effects of the drought last year, the Great Lakes Region has decided to keep all the water for themselves, once again thwarting any attempts to further perpetuate this seemingly never ending rumor!
