I was told that they may be introducing LED headlamps for the Road Glide at this meeting as a new accessory?  Anyone else hear anything like that?

[SimonNottsUK]

Hope so, keep an eye out on the website.

That would be nice, but I'm afraid, very afraid, to know what the price will be on those suckers...

[Rio]

That would be nice, but I'm afraid, very afraid, to know what the price will be on those suckers...

I had the headlamp and passing lamps on my CUSE, I think I paid about $700 or so, I would gladly....well maybe not gladly, but I would pay that for my RG to have better lighting plus they look awesome!  The 7" without a discount I think is $420, and I'm guessing that becasue they would have to sell them as a set they will price them under $600?  I'm sure they will modify them in some way, no way could you run two headlamps equal to the 7" that they sell without pissing oncoming traffic off!

[BryantH]

I would be the first in line for LED Road Glide headlights......................

                     I might need glasses but, It Looks like a lady on the sporty!!!!!!!

[Grizzly]

Just wondering if anyone has heard what new products are coming out of the meetings this week?

I was told to expect something new in the Sportster and Softail line-ups, but nothing about any CVO's.

Does anyone have any exciting news to share?

[barefoot3zk5]

I heard possible soft tail Trike.. 

[cvobiker]

I heard there was a leak on a new liquid cooled motor..And somthing on a new 'tamper proof' ignition...Not sure if we will hear about these at this show. 

[Twolanerider]

I heard they bought the rights to Honda's Goldwing engine and were going to start offering a Shovelhead retrofit kit.

No, I heard it was a panhead kit...but it will only fit a softtail with a trike kit.  Pretty solid info...it came from a guy that knows a guy that lives next door to a guy that worked with a guy that once had the grass cutting contract at my local HD dealer.

Well if there is good news to tell, I'm glad to hear Don's pool boy finally landed another job.

That, is freakin HYSTERICAL

You need to do a site search for "pool boy."  That guy has been a true source of amazing information for years.  And, like so many other sources, rumors and stopped clocks, he'll eventually be right too!

And, you can use any oil you want.

[Twolanerider]

And, you can use any oil you want.

Not just use it.  In a "retro blast from the past HD will offer for the Goldwing conversion kit the 'Screamin' Eagle Lubrication Recycling System' offering chrome plated brass fittings with specially calibrated weep orifices to control critical leaks to a stylish level and combine them with an engine vacuum collection system that automatically redeposits the stylishly dispensed fluids back in the crankcase."

(note: This kit requires use of SE vacuum system HEPA filter replacement every 90 days or 200 miles.  Filter kit 1245349714 at $219.99 or three pack 1245349714-3 for $529.99.)

[BryantH]

You guys are bad - I was really hoping to hear accurate information if the Road Glide LED option had any legs..... This
thread went down hill very fast. I guess we don't have long to wait before the new parts / options are announced.

BryantH

[mark]

Sorry BryantH...we couldn't resist.  We go thru this every year when "new bike" and "new options" rumors start to circulate.  I guess it's the boredom of winter and anticipation of spring and the 2013 models.

You will.  When the company releases the info.  Before that.... Well....   See above ^ for the regular pool boy bullchit and oh-so-informed rumor everyone suffers through every year.

Next week?  If they do, I wonder if we would be able to organize a group order and get a good discount?  Several members talk about some women at a dealership that offers 20% off on parts with excellent service?  10-20 sets would be a pretty good order it it all comes about to reality?

2012 FLS  Softail Slim
A Press Quote

"After the failure of the Blackline, Harley have returned to the safe ground with a stunning slimmed-down Fat Boy: I might as well try to be the first to call it the Fat Boy Slim, but I still prefer the "Hollywood". Part 48, part Fat Boy, Part Cross Bones: all classic Harley-Davidson:  in Vivid Black or in colour or denim."

Harley have joined the high bar arms race with a heavy-flake, peanut-tanked, white-walled, classic chopper with ape-hangers: another parts bin special from the company with the parts bin that keeps on giving.  in black denim or blue pearl, but the Big Red Flake is the show-off of the range.

Kinda hate being the bearer of bad news but,

No bad news as far as I'm concerned!  More fun spending $$$ on the SEEG, anyway.

Maybe one of these days they'll do something to get my attention again.  Or .......... maybe not.

I think I'll just get me one of those blue 12 SERG's.
At least it will match the other one.

GREAT!!! Two more bikes that won't sell!

That would look good with the '01 and your '11.5!!  They're sweet bikes.

 a green fairing on a blue SERG?

To each his own.....New Bern HD called me the other day...they had a blue/black SERG. Knowing how much I like those colors I had to check it out. 34K out the door for a black motor, few chrome goodies, no lowers, no tour pack....I passed but like I said....to each his own

[Eqcons]

New parts are posted now.  No damned headlight. 

You have to smile at a couple of the new touring parts though, especially the catch that lines up the lid of the tourpak when you close it!     Pay extra to get what fixes their sloppy manufacturing?  I don't think so! 

And the harness that allows you to have your passing lamps on when you are on full beam?  $29.95 to do what you can do at no cost in 15 minutes or less...  The ripoffs get worse. 

Jim

[mark]

Yawn.  Another Sporty (how many do they have now?) and a Crossboned Fat Boy-Slim.  X2 on the parts bin manufacturing.  As the police say to passing motorists at traffic accidents.."nothing to see here, keep moving."  Maybe I have unrealistic expectations, but there really hasn't been anything since the introduction of the SG that lit my candle (excluding the CVOs).

Hey MoCo, here's my two cents:  offer the SG in something other than a solid color (yeah I know you have a couple of two tone paint jobs every year)...how about some stripes like the RG....how about extended saddle bags, a different HD logo on tank, maybe try some bullet style passing lamps...

[Rio]

CHIT!  You would think that they would at least come up with a new bezel or mount that would fit the 7" LED they sell which would be less expensive than engineering a special lamp for the RG!  They have seen the numbers and popularity of the RG increase, sure it's minicule compared to the amount of batwings in circulation, but if you take into account the bullchit they make that doesn't sell?  WTF, I want these and I was really sold on the rumor they were coming!

Have to watch out for the voices.  They do sound so real sometimes. 

Also, 7" light wouldn't fit in the Road Glide headlight area.

Where's the pic of that cyclops SERG that was floating around here a few years back?

Had forgotten about that bike.  That thing is still creepy looking.  Hopefully the guy was just using up spare parts to make a ride.  If he did that on purpose and by choice that boy is ill...

[Rio]

Where's the pic of that cyclops SERG that was floating around here a few years back?

Cyclops?  That would be something to consider with an LED?  I think the lamp they use on the RG is not completely round, I think its got an odd oblong shape so it fits?  That may be the issue, its exclusive?

[napalm]

And it only run right when the engine reaches 1,000 degrees or higher.  HD is planning on offering an after market Turbo Cooling System in Black or Chrome...

Twolanerider - I'm really disappointed - it just doesn't make sense that Harley or another vendor has not come out with a LED light for the Road Glide. The HID are better but I want a true LED with the proper reflectors and such. I guess I need to regroup and look for an alternative way to get one done.

Seen one Live at Dealer, I like it.. I'll keep my limited though..Nice Bar Hopper !

[Pod]

I'm just hoping they do something special for the cvo line in'13'.  i have a chance to get a '11' SESG Krypto w/ 2900 mile for $30K and I can't decide to pull the trigger or wait.  Great stuff on here by the way.

FYI..there was one on E-bay with 850 miles for $30,465 buy it now?

[Twolanerider]

Something exceptionally different would be a nice change.  Hard to expect real vibrant change from a line that is already drawing up plans for the FLHTCUSE43 though.

Where the "43" represents the 2013 price in 000 of $.
