How will I get that "Harley" sound when the FLHTC line becomes a bunch of hybrids?

Get an intercom/speaker system and shout BRRUMMMM, BRUUUMMM really loud... like the Goldwingers do. lol

I think it'll be built in to Rev3 of the new Harmon Kardon radio.  A subset sound in all audio functions, whether the radio is turned on or not, but will the subliminal message, "your exhaust sounds great, your exhaust sounds great, you are a lemming to Harley Davidson, your exhaust sounds great."

Have seen those before John.  Was told they are almost exactly six gallons.  Well over a 1k$ for only a half gallon gain seems a bit pricey.

Don,
I agree about the price, notice also the disclaimer about seat modification, more $$$$. But the look is not too bad! john

Definitely did like the look.  But wowzer, seat work, tank, paint, etc etc etc; that's a lot of hard earned dollars for what a guy is gaining there  .

Amen.  Can find a dollar and 49 cent bowl of cheap chili someplace and still get the half gallon of gas if it's needed too....

Will it have a urinal to? Need to stop sometime and relieve yourself!!!!

There are some perfectly good reasons to stop between fueling, such as...  . But, to stop for a P, is not an option, nor is it allowed.
The lone exception is my wifes "girl bladder".

Negative.  Urinary necessity is, well, sometimes a necessity.  Damn the weeds on the side of the road, stop to wizz and full speed ahead!

An uncited reliable source is still just a rumor to everyone else.  Cite it or don't claim it.  The voices in my head get confused.

The 6 gal tank is a fact. I seen them being stamped out in a new automated HI TECH stamping press in York a couple weeks ago. The tour guide said it was the new 08 tanks and he THOUGHT they were approx. 1 gallon bigger.

That's interesting.  Wonder what the actual volume will end up being then?  An absolute six gallon is only about a half gallon larger than what we've actually had.  But if six is actually six and a half as the five gallon tanks have been actually five and a half that's a significant increase.

Look at us, actually (almost) praising Harley Davidson for measuring progress a half gallon at a time  .
