Changes - '16 versus '15?
« on: August 24, 2015, 10:40:06 AM »

Although the colors have changed on the new '16 bikes, the paint scheme looks identical.  Have any improvements or mods been made to the CVO RGU or is this bike the very same as the '15?

2016:

The Tour Pak rear light housing is now color-matched;

Updated, consolidated key fob with automatic locking system;

Slight changes to seat with different foam;

Slightly narrower primary;

Tire pressure monitoring system viewed through Infotainment screen with warning light on instrument cluster; and

LED Front Turn Signals but lower Rear Turn Signals have been deleted. 

Adjustable (without tools) air suspension?

I hate the double key fob. I wonder if there's any chance for us to get a consolidated one for our pre '16 bikes.

I was wondering the same thing.  My guess is yes, for a cost.

While they added LED turn signals at the front, the bullet turn signals at the rear flanking stop light of the SERGU are gone.  I'd rather have the old style and put my own LED's in the bullet lights.

The consolidated fob would be nice but I'd really want the TPMS.  That's a safety item.  I can see they wanted to "clean up" the rear and save some $$ but you can never have too much light out back. I also installed the Custom Dynamics Magic Strobe.

90 degree tire valve stems are on the 16's.  That should be nice given the tight clearance between the wheels and the brakes!

I hear ya. I'm still a big stickler about the Amber turn signals just for contrast. I also have three more lights than you Greg. Lol

I am going to have my rear light housing painted to match this winter along with the heatsheilds. The consolidated key would be nice depends on how much the moco plans to charge.


2016:

The Tour Pak rear light housing is now color-matched;

Updated consolidated key fob;

Slight changes to seat with different foam;

Tire pressure monitoring system viewed through Infotainment screen with warning light on instrument cluster; and

New Cam?

There’s a higher compression ratio for top efficiency and horsepower. An airbox for increased airflow and a redesigned cam to optimize low-end torque.

Find a good local painter. I did. He did a great job matching them up.

That's the same statement they used on the 15 key features.

i looked up the part number for the cam on the cvo rgu, how can they claim 'redesigned cam', when the part number is an 07 part number?  with no revision letter following it?  redesigned for something, just not the cvo rgu i guess.

It looks to me like they put narrow primary cover off the limited low model on all the touring bikes this year

And a very good move on their part.  The narrow primary works well on the low.
