Missing Everything
I was looking closely at the 2014 Limited torque specs. vs 2014 Ultra torque specs. Was trying to determine how torque # was affected with water cooling on the Limited vs the regular air cooling on the Ultra.
This is what I found on the H-D website, under "specs" for each model.
Limited: 105.5 ft.lbs. torque @ 3750 RPM
Ultra: 104.7 ft. lbs. torque @ 3250 RPM
So the Limited has 0.8 ft.lbs of torque more than the Ultra. Then when you look at the RPM #, you gotta wonder about the water cooling and the cost of it for less the 1 ft.lbs. of torque increase.
Am I missing something??

Trying to justify the water cooling by extra torque is missing the point entirely.

1 ft/lb of torque?
harley davidson has said for years that they sell their bikes in a mild state of tune! like fuel injection, liquid cooling has performance advantages! let's give harley 5 years, and see where they go with liquid cooling! cheers from montana

"why would the MoCo spend all that $$ on water cooling for such little performance improvement?"
Okay Safetyman, thanks for the rest of the story.

I have to agree with Bing... you are truly funny! Are you a professional comedian or just very witty?

Specs published by Harley certainly aren't real world, rear wheel. Jamie from Fuel Moto has posted some charts on bone stock 2014's.
The Twin Cooled produced 90 ft/lbs at 4,000 RPM.
The air cooled produced 91.43 ft/lbs. at about 3250.
Here's the blog on his upgrades to an air cooled. He put this on the Bagger thread pinned to the top of this forum.
