Is it just the lighting, or are they using Yamaha bags on the '14s?


My thoughts exactly!!!

 :)1st, I'm very glad I have my '12 CVO Ultra

2nd, I can appreciate trying to make design changes on bikes that their riders are passionate about and opinionated, MoCo should realize that we keep telling them what we want - just make them  :nixweiss:

3rd, the vent in the windshield is not needed.  If the shield is sized properly then there is more than enough air for the rider.  All those scoops do is make a nice bug net.  They are really attractive after a ride when you walk up on the front of the bike.

4th, I hope to God they did not mess with any TP lights.  We need all the visibility we can get out there with the cages.

5th ....

Hmmmmmm, I was expecting "something". Appears all they did was add some new paint, a new stereo and hood scoops on the fairings.

I guess a vrod water-cooled touring bike will never happen.

So much for the big news.  :nixweiss:

Well, I have gone over the Harley site for all of the models... and I must say that I am not very impressed at all.

Yeah, the new radio screen looks nice... but as was pointed out here, I don't want my GPS down low like that. I like my 665 right where it is... up on the left side of my fairing where I can reach it easily with my left hand.

I like my fairing much better. I don't like that FUGLY vent in the new fairing at all... ruins the upper look completely. And, as was mentioned, it's a bug trap.

I don't like the more rounded look of the bags, either. They now look more like metric bags to me. The Tour Pak lines are OK, but I don't like losing the side lights.

Losing the bag speakers and the lowers with speakers on the CVO RK? WTF? THAT's a big step down! The '14 SERK is underwhelming, to say the least. Last year's SERK paint was more interesting, too.

The CVO Deluxe looks quite good, but it isn't my cup of tea. The CVO Breakout is very nice, but I like the 2013 paint better.

The Touring paint jobs are once again less and less interesting, with less creative graphics. Honestly, I think 2012 was the height of creativity for CVO paint across the line. I like the new candy orange, but it's only on the Ultra... not the Limited nor CVO Limited. The new Amber Whiskey is OK, but is too yellow and not orange enough for me. The CVO Limited colors and scheme are just BORING. Frankly, they look like a Lexus or Infinity... which is the crowd the new CVO Limited seems to be aimed at anyway, with it's mind-bending $39K price tag. My wife's Mercedes turbo 250 costs less than that!

I don't get the SG Special at all... what's so "special" about it?

Oh, and NO mention of liquid cooling ANYWHERE on the Harley site! Maybe they decided not to release it... Or maybe they just don't want to talk about it.

I think the MoCo is really losing their way and their heritage. They aren't making motorcycles anymore... they are making increasing mundane two-wheeled luxury cars for the smaller and smaller number of people who can afford a CVO these days.

The MoCo has probably gotten their last new bike out of me. But I have the Honey Badger... and neither of us give a CHIT!

I am very partial to that one myself.  Lots of looks at it from lots of riders.

Yeah, you're right. I like the '12 SEUC... but the '10 SEUC was the prettiest! I almost bought one in the orange.

although i was reluctant at first, my 13 SERK has grown on me.
imo, it looks like the CVO RK/SERK has seen its best year in 2013.
no lowers and no audio? i thought the idea was to go forward not backwards.
unless the price is dropping substantially i don't see the value in the 2014 SERK.

While I love my 13 SERK, rides great.  The lowers are way to hot in the summer.  The music can not be heard over 60 mph, the speakers take up way to much space in the Saddle bags.  So, if they drop the price 1500 dollars it would be a good deal if you ask me.


Losing the bag speakers and the lowers with speakers on the CVO RK? WTF? THAT's a big step down! The '14 SERK is underwhelming, to say the least. Last year's SERK paint was more interesting, too.

The CVO Deluxe looks quite good, but it isn't my cup of tea.

I sure agree with the comment about the pain on the 13 SERK compared to the 14 SERK.  I hate the lowers in the summer.  The speakers in the bags take up too much valuable space, can't hear them over 25 mph anyway.  The front speakers cant be heard over wind noise at 60 plus.  I have seriously considered removing my lowers. 

With the tune on my 13, it runs a bit cooler than my 12 CVO.  However the lowers trap way more heat on my right leg...

I think my wife will fall in love with the new CVO Deluxe, she is really into the nostalgic look.  I like the looks of it in the blue and white.

$40K and the first thing I would do is get the wrap around painted to match - it never ends...................

Here is an internal view for ya.



And a close up on the radiators...

Quote from: HarleyLance;855194
My dealer just posted this on their FB page - seems like the rumors are true.



They are saying that the heads are partially liquid cooled.

Heres a little better pic



Quote from: TracyB;857378
These are pics from the Street Glide...not sure if I like those controls or not.




The flat button above is apparently the trip switch according to the HD website



Saddlebags can be opened with one hand. So if this is on the inside of the lid, are the outside lid latches functional as well?

I do think there are still lights along the bottom on the sides of it, though.

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:

Nope.  Ultra Limited, CVO Limited, and Tri-Glide.  H2O.  If you pull up the Ultra (FLHTCU), and use the 360* viewer, it looks like that bike has rads too.  Looks like it was last minute to limit it to the three above.
