One gentleman speculated that the 107 might be 4.25 stroke x 4 bore yielding 106.81 cu inches. There are of course many ways to get there but given Harley's past use of a 4.25 inch stroke in the Evo engine it might be logical. If you use that same stroke with a 4 1/8" bore it would be 114  (113.59) and if it were square it would be 121 (120.58).

Makes sense.  Probably looking at 114 stock with a kit to upgrade to 121.

The engine will have only 4 pushrods like all others in the past...Each Rocker will now work two valves, instead of one rocker, one valve now.
One of the big benefits is that the smaller valves are much lighter and therefore require much less spring pressure to control. If Harley does this right they have a chance of correcting the lifter problem and the ticking rocker shafts all in one whack..

We could only wish, but you know the saying.... "chit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first"... Leaving it to the MoCo I'm not holding my breath.

The pool boy's ex-wife's third cousin twice removed married to the janitor of HD's corporate engineering division found a memo that strongly suggests that the new power plant for the CVO's will be at least 120 cubic inches with 4 valves per cylinder and 4 overhead cams and full liquid cooling and air conditioning.
Also, the new 8 speed transmission will include reverse with a LED backup light.
The new and improved infotainment system will have a backup camera/rear view mirror feature and offer real time traffic updates. Rushmore is out and Everest is in. Built in cup holders will be standard on all CVO touring bikes as well as toothpicks so you can pick the bugs out of your teeth. All of this will be available for a mere $ 50,000.00 MSRP plus shipping, handling, and documentation fees.
This is the best info available as of now.

Interesting - I am surprised they are making so many changes so fast.  I like having the reverse option and I hope they cool it down some especially if the engine size is going up again. They need to keep the technology upgrades (mechanical and electronic) coming.

I say 3 cam, parallel pushrods.

told my dead uncle that it will not be called Everest since there a chitload of mountains bewteen Rushmore and Everest height wise....and they didn't want to get our hopes that they have reached the highest possible pinnacle with this effort. Perhaps "Denali"

Remember I said "if". Given past history I have very little hope that they will get it right....but it is a step in a potentially positive direction.

Well, better get my comment in before that happens.....here goes:

The engine will have only 4 pushrods like all others in the past...Each Rocker will now work two valves, instead of one rocker, one valve now.
One of the big benefits is that the smaller valves are much lighter and therefore require much less spring pressure to control. If Harley does this right they have a chance of correcting the lifter problem and the ticking rocker shafts all in one whack..

Now DAT'S phuny rat dare......

good, got it in before the thread is pulled...I feel so much better now.....

[Ironhorse]

 Well, I'm not going to buy one just yet, not until someone puts 50,000 trouble-free miles on it first. But, being a Harley, it will no doubt need intake, exhaust and tuner just to reach factory potential.

I got a patch for yer vest, you'll earn it too. 

Or will you.....

I just don't see The MoCo doing any major changes unless the changes are to accommodate full on liquid cooling in the not too distant future

The 4 Valve head does make sense to alleviate (some) spring pressures...

Everybody else (Japanese & European) has tried just about everything and still ended up with full on liquid cooling, HD just has to figure out how to incorporate LQ into the legacy architecture us HD folks demand...

JMHO...

[SHRADER]

The word is that the new engine is liquid cooled, but using oil instead of anti freeze/water.

I hope that if this is true, that the moco finds a way to mount a radiator somewhere other than in the fairing lowers. That's the main reason I bought a 14 Road King over a 15 Street Glide. I made the decision to avoid having to run lowers, while giving up the sound system and fairing. A decision that I do not regret.
