hearing bits and piece's about a new softtail called the "Rocker"....which may be the new chopper's name. 
Pics thought to be of the Rocker have been posted about on the net. An example is here:
A description of the bike was pulled from a website that supplies Harley Dealers with their websites and that description is here:
Softail Rocker C Chromed out from front to back, the Softail® Rocker™ C model adds an extra layer of style to the new features of the Softail® Rocker™ model concept. For starters, it offers all the breakthrough design features of the Softail® Rocker™ model, and all-new LED stop / turn / tail light that packs all the rear light functions into the turn signals. But it doesn’t stop there. It also boasts an exclusive flame job, cloisonné 3-D tank medallion, and – perhaps the most significant design feature of them all – an industry-first solo-style Trick™ seat, which conceals a passenger pillion and struts that magically transform the solo look into a surprisingly comfortable two-up ride. For high-style profilers looking to leave a lasting impression, there’s no better combination of style and functionality on any custom-style chopper on the market.
Softail Rocker Just as it seems the world of custom choppers is getting predictable, Harley-Davidson® breaks the mold once again with the radical Softail® Rocker™ model. Tied with the Softail® Deluxe for the lowest seat height (24.5-inches) of any production H-D® motorcycle, this new stunner takes riding in style to a new low. With a rear fender that mounts directly to the swingarm (with no visible fender supports), it faithfully reproduces the authentic lines of slammed, rigid-suspension customs, while delivering a modern, comfortable ride. Of course, its radical looks are what will make both riders and gawkers sit up and really take notice. An all-new satin stainless powder-coated color scheme on the tapered five-spoke wheels, bullet headlamp, triple clamp, custom finned "horseshoe" oil tank and elsewhere. Aggressively stretched front fork. Custom stretched gas tank with machined 3-D tank medallion. New shorty dual mufflers, with a sleek new bend. A big, beefy 240 millimeter rear tire. All-new LED stop / turn / tail lights that pack all the rear light functions into the turn signals, leaving only the license plate centered on the rear fender.
