Default 014' Colors

Happened to be by my local H.D. dealer today. Sales rep showed me the 014' colors. Pretty nice selection of two tones on various models. Heavy metal flake is back in 014 = more so in custom colors. Black and red, black and white, brown and tad are some of the combo's in the color charts for dressers. She did mention a redesign of the road glide faring with talk about a touch screen technology built in. Also she said possible water cooling by 015' starting with rumors of a v-rod engine in a road glide touring model. 014's on line by August 18'th,H.D. dealer show.

Personal Thank You to Howard for helping educate me on shocks. I went with the JRI-B-13' after talking with him and I could not me more happy..The JRI's keep the rear end planted, the bike rides and handles much better. Well worth the investment. I'm looking forward to doing the front end as soon as funds will allow.

Who gives a flying fig about colors. Black is all that is needed. BMW and Honda touring bikes usually only have one or two colors along with the choice of take it or leave it.

Not about colors but I did the Steel Toe Tour at the York, PA plant yesterday and saw CVO's being built on the regular assembly line. The guide said that it was a cost saving measure. So, you guys with CVO's, your bikes aren't special, they just cost more...

I wonder what the new focus group tested names will be... Merlot and suede have already been used... Velour maybe? Zinfandel?

My dealer told me they were making a SE Fuschia Deluxe and a Rainbow Warrior colored Sporty to try and attract more female and "other" groups. Both would be liquid cooled and would come with a special syn oil and scratch resistant jiffy stand.
