While riding my CUSE4 in Sturgis, during a heavy rain, my oil temp stayed around 160 for 2 hrs at 50 mph. How much more proof could the MoCo be looking for?

And THAT'S why I don't even ride in the RAIN, Terry!

I thought thats why I wasnt supposed to ever WASH mine!

They are making way to big of a deal out of this.  This is a change to the engine and they are talking like it's revolutionary.  What a disappointment!  Project Rushmore is Project bull$hit.  I will not be buying a new bike.  Why would I?

I predict the 2015 Twin-Cooled HD engine will come with a revolutionary 1 gallon cooling system which includes a new coolant overflow reservoir that will help solve the problem of steam venting from the radiator cap during long periods of slow speed operation.  This announcement will follow a previous announcement of the new Harley Davidson proprietary engine coolant, SynWater, that is required to maintain the bike's warranty.  Included in 2015 as a standard item on CVOs will be the currently optional steam whistle that can be installed to replace the existing electric horn.

Dig the "Steam Whistle"!

I did see in the 2014 parts catalog chrome covers for the 2014 "Water Pump". It's the only mention of water that I've found anywhere.

Hi, I just found a picture of the Twin cooled system looks like a goldwing, not a Harley.

Maybe it can make Latte or Expresso?

Thanks for the pic....my question now is.... with those to heat exchangers in the lower faring cooling the return water to the engine....where is the hot air vented to?

Heat has to go somewhere and when the you are not moving....the lower faring is going to heat up from the radiators in front of your leg while the motor will be cooking the your inside cafe.

Berfore I consider getting one....I will have to take it for a nice long and slow test ride on a hot day.

I hope they got it figured out.

I think the idea is the hot air is vented out thru the outside sides of the lowers - and the air is moved by the fans mounted in front of the radiators located in the lowers.

I can see some future improvements happening in the water pump area.

I just noticed that the 14 CVO Limited has 115tq.  My 13 has 118tq.

Yeah, when I see all these flimsy plastic parts I think you need only one rock kicked up from the front wheel and the pressure cooker is out of service and you are back to single air cooling again , I wonder how long that will last before the cylinder heads are deep fried then.

looks like the crank bearing and crank shaft have changed for the 2014 110's

The crank itself is unchanged.  The crank has a new part number because the new crank bearing inner races are only available preinstalled on the crank assembly.
