Last one even remotely worth sharing.  The .5 quart increase in oil capacity was shown on a slide too.  Now if it just all stays inside the engine.

Cam lift  is small, and no overlap.

That happens when you're over a 100...

Detailed First look at the new Engine

The guy narrating that video is a damn moron. Showing the oil cooled engine saying it's water cooled. Saying the two stock engine sizes are the 110 and 117.... I quit watching after that.

Went to the Missouri State HOG rally at Osage Beach this past week and they were demo'ing.  New 107 motor is peppy and smooth...will give moco credit for that.  Sounds different even with considering the stock mufflers...not sure how to describe it...just different.

Changing the spark plugs will be a b*tch! 
Those that don't do their own service can expect dealer wrench time rates to go up just because of that.

I believe the tank has to be removed to replace the spark plugs!!

Sure appears that way.

Was looking at one a couple days ago also.  You can see the wire boot and where the plug would be.  See it enough you know you'd have to try it on those right side plugs and say several bad words before giving up.  Then it sure looks like it would be time to throw in the towel and admit you need to raise the tank.

With the moco statement that no valve adjustment required for the life of the engine leads me to conclude that there is no lash control for each individual valve - only the control from the hydraulic lifter on a single pushrod that operates two valves.  The rocker arms have to control two valves and they better be very precisely made else the valves may not be totally synchronized due to slight differences in spring pressure, stack tolerances, etc.  Hopefully the moco has addressed this potential problem and has designed and manufactured it to such tolerances that it will not be a problem.  Time will tell.

And how do they account for stem height change due to seat wear.

Plugs last 20K miles. It takes me 7 minutes to remove the tank. That's it, I'm cancelling my order!

Come on Steve I know you're a better mechanic than that;

Remove the seat
Remove the rear tank bolt
Loosen the front tank bolt
Tilt the tank upward and Place a wedge under it.
Go get the plug.

Total time-- 2.5 minutes.

Now quit screwing around and go finish the new exhaust and maps so we can see what the new motors are really capable of.

I just took a Limited with the 107 for a ride, and I will say I'm impressed with both the engine and suspension changes. Engine sounds more like a sewing machine now than a baby rattle on the top end. Idle vibration was next to nothing. Plenty of torque, instant throttle response, impressive ride and nimble handling. It was hard to tell if what the exhaust note would sound like with more open mufflers, but I could not tell a whole lot of difference in the stock exhaust note of the twin cams. The transmission hasn't changed any, and still has a clunk into gear and a thud between gears. It's about 91 out, so I still had heat comparable to my "cammed and tuned" 110 on my right leg. The fans came on pretty quick in town. Overall, if the reliability seems to be there I would definitely be interested in a CVO flavored Road Glide in a year or 2. Dealer will have a CVOSG with the 114 to ride Thursday so I will report back then.

Think that new suspension would be worth putting into our '15s? I still have the stock front ones on mine.
