Twin Cooled probably means water and air, so twin cooling.

I agree the rear panels DO look like they are set up for some kind of rear turn signals

something similar to the design of the CVO models from the last few years

but I went and checked and there is NO part number for that right now

Its in the 2014 Model Year Technical Forum presentation. Basically it says you can only use Harley supplied (stock) replacement tires.

Can't wait to see how Harley packages a radiator, plumbing and coolant reservoir on models without lowers. I have a feeling it won't be pretty.
