Just picked up my new ultra yesterday and I love everything about it except for 2 things, there is no cd and the sucking sound of the air filter is a little annoying.
Got the 2 tone red for $25,750 out the door + 1K in free stuff.
This puppy puts my 08 classic to shame, thanks Harley for finally doing a decent upgrade!
How and why would you put a radiator in the fairing?
That's right in line with the rider.
On another note, and I'll say it again, someone is going to put the radiators between the saddlebags and the tire... All the heat out the back...That would be cool.

Every water-cooled bike on the Planet has it's radiator in line with the rider! I can see no reason why Harley shouldn't do the same, in fact the pair of small radiators lend themselves admirably to being tucked away in an RG styled fairing.
We have seen that the factory have introduced a vent into the batwing, the RG could also have vents, so the rider can choose to be warmed or not. Sounds like a win-win to me! Of course we are not designing the darned thing.....

I meant literally "in the fairing". Like right under the windshield. Imagine the hate that would cause! Most of these people can't handle the little "mail box" in the fairing which I think could look cool painted.
Yeah, having a radiator doesn't bother me. I would just like to see it tucked away down low. You know, away from my upper body and face. Just sayin.
Do you want to talk about the 2014 water cooled bikes? I bought a Limited (3) days ago. This bike now has 16 miles and that is where it will stay. This thing will roast you. The engine puts out a lot more heat than my 2013. The twin radiators will cook your shins. Heat pours out the lower fairings whether you are at highway speeds or city speeds. Believe me you DO NOT want a water cooled 2014. If I would have ridden this bike on the highway, I would never have bought it. I called the dealer when I got home and said what would it take to kill this deal? He said it was now my bike. Trust me, you don't want one of these unless you live in Alaska.
Dang, I should have called you before I bought mine.
Must be. I have not heard anyone yet collaborate his story. Troll. Hey mightier, know what yur talkin' bout, have a 57 J45 Gibson that is definitely not for sale!!!!!! I will die with that guitar!
