Ok so HD designs a liquid cooled exhaust port, and we are already planning on bypassing it or taking it off. I can see it now acme kit to remove defective HD cooling system. buy now at 500 dollars before it is to late to save your engine.
2 days only for 39.95 we will include special 2014 locking bolt to prevent the new bags from falling off.
30% of the new bikes sold have had the bags stolen or fall off already

Thanks, as several non mechanically inclined friend's have asked me about this as I have the mechanical/research background, and I had a thought to share on a forum applicable to it discussion desired.

Knew it was coming. I ask the other day. Saw the same thing when points and then carbs and cats and now twin cooled..may have missed a few others in the list..

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...el-moto-7.html see post 263 . Somebody is going to be the winner. Just wanted to mark it for the books.

If I had a 14, I would convert the radiators to R134 and shoot the cool to my feet and a hose up my paints leg. That would keep it cool.

LOL, it has been brought up about wanting the amenities of the new limited but not wanting to be a sissy boy on a water bike.

Thanks Brothers for the enlightened conversation, I will be back on line tonight to discuss this further, going riding now as the sun is shining. Keep up posting on your version of what a forum should be and every post that should be about, stop playing with your **** and go put some miles on your *** jewelry.

No matter the subject, technology never reverts to the previous. We are not looking to bring back carburetors or 8 track tapes. Why? Because even though the initial 'improved designs' that took their place pretty much sucked, the technology improved, and eventually the masses embraced the new technology. I keep saying that at some point technology must stop, or at least slow down. Unfortunately the yuppies in the beemers married to soccer mom's want to be able to ride their new 'mid life crisis glide' in short pants and sandals and be able to chat on the phone with their new 'trophy' mistress that only exists because he has a harley.

OK, maybe a little off topic. Or maybe not...??

Funny you mention the head porting issues...... Harley offers a CNC head porting service now.... For bikes with less than 500 miles on it. At the cost of................ $699.99.
