I didn't see anywhere in the HD site that the CVO Glide has water cooling- only redesigned venting. I would think something as "revolutionary" as that would be plastered all over.

Maybe the the water cooling is on the lesser models  :nixweiss:

Gives me another year of hope for a 4 cylinder V-Rod Road Glide  :2vrolijk_21:

Do you think that is a bottle of gatorade in there?  ;)  They down played the move extremely well... Twin Cooling available only on SELECTED bikes...

They are not stupid... they are playing their cards well.

Curious how the little joystick for the radio controls will work with thick gloved hands in cooler weather.

Is that TP still able to swallow a full-face helmet?  It looks tiny!


They say the new TP can hold TWO full-face helmets... Although I can't see how. It doesn't look quite as tall as the previous KTP, but maybe it's wider. The front of it slopes rearward now, instead of forward... So there should be significantly more room there.

You really think from a marketing perspective they've done well here by not touting the system at all?  I get the impression they're afraid of their own (wet) shadow.  But nowhere do they use the words wet or water.

It's a band aid attempt at water cooling for sure.  The only thing they're surrounding is the exhaust valve.  Hell, I'd be embarrassed by the effort too.  Especially when I had to hang all that chit in the front for one water circuit around a single valve on each side.  But it's still (by MoCo standards a significant change.  So yell it from the roof tops.  It's not like they have the option of going back after all.  Rest of at least the touring model line will have to follow on eventually.  So make your damned case.  Explain why it's necessary and what the gains now and in the future can be.  

But... we forget, Harley doesn't actually sell.  They expect us to come them "just because."  Because we always have.  So if something really is radically different they're afraid we'll pull a Monty Python or a Doctor Who and "run away, run away."  It's a pusillanimous way to pitch your product MoCo.

If I were in the market (which I'm NOT...), Indian would be looking pretty damned attractive right about now...

 Really!? :nixweiss:  :P 

Just sharing what I have found in other forums/sites.  It is the same setup as in the 2014 CVO Limited with the Twin Cool engine... geez!

As soon as someone is close to a CVO we will get the same photos from it.  :2vrolijk_21:

Just checked, the CVO Ultra Limited weighs 944 pounds.
I love the bikes but they need to be lighter!
That weight is a deal stopper for me.
I guess Harley forgot to check the demographics of their customers.
As we get older 944 pounds is a bunch.

Not too far from what ours weight...  but I agree, very soon they need to start looking into Carbon Fiber and light weight materials for these beasts!
