Other than that, it's only speculations.

I am very anxious to see what the new model looks like.....
Same here!

As of the screen on a RGU simple move speedo and tach to the faring put screen where the they are now simple and easy to do. Type of stuff has already been done on after market ones.
I am betting they will release a 2015 RGU. If not after a lot of years I have purchased my last new Harley.
As for a mid year release unlikely with the 500 and the 750 just to much going on.

I don't think the problem has anything to do with the radio. They are trying to not make it FUGLY! I kid! I kid!!

Who really knows what Harley is planning . They seem to be full of surprises lately. First the introduction of liquid cooled heads , then the completely new all liquid cooled 500 & 750 , who saw that coming ? Are they softening us up for some thing radical or just some refinements to the RG . . .. . . time will tell.

The only company that keeps a better secret than Harley is Coca-Cola. So forget anything a dealer tells you as they're the last to know anything new. Most honest dealers will tell you that. All we can do is wait and see.

July is not "mid-year" the model year is late August thru late August with manufacturing starting in July. If released in July, it will be an early 2015. My sources (LOL) say February on the dealer floors.

I can actually confirm this rumor. as my good friend at the dealer has heard the announcement in a bulletin. no pics yet. so the faring may be changed, and it may not be the "roadglide" we're used to, but it will be a mid year release
