I know it's captioned as a shot of the dash but that lower fairing looks very different, glove box looks fixed and an inner skin.

x2 on the glove box,..also you would think they could splash out to fit a lock to the box
 
The what it looks like to be a vent in the fairing would not surprise me. They must have to have a way to cool the wiring and so on that's crammed in the fairing.

I can't wait to see, , , will this be the year, , , they finally add decent chrome hinges to an almost $40K bike?
Or does the tool kit contain a spare set of lifters?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Hinges?  They're still not even coming with chromed front forks.  spyder

You noticed that, too, eh?  Whoever posted the pic said it was a CVO Ultra.  Sure looked like standard forks.  Let's hope it wasn't a CVO.

Closer look of tour pak, no more lights along bottom edge, tour pak now has a step in it, I think that allows new wider saddle bag lids to clear the tour pak when you open them.

It might look better in person and the radio may or may not be modern and better than sliced bread.  But....  spatially that's a mess.  No sense of of proportion.  Looks as bad as some of the aftermarket add-on fairings for Road Kings.

Wow... anyone know the number for Indian?

I'd rather have my GPS in my line of sight, not way the hell down where this one is at. Makes ya wonder if any of the designers actually ride anymore.

The bikes usually look better in person, than in the pictures.  For the MoCos sake, best hope so this year.  Paint looks .... blah.  In person probably better as usual.

In this case, it looks like a huge miss on the inner fairing from the pics. Instead of placing a multi function touch screen up higher, they buried it low so they could put 4 huge gauges where the screen should have gone.  If done well, the screen could have incorporated the gauges as well as the radio and GPS.  The huge amount of real estate chewed up by big honking gauges seems dumb poorly thought out.  Why not something better than what else is out there? This placement puts the GPS well below line of sight, and agree with TB - does anybody actually ride these things, for real, first?  Screen should be at side mirror height or so to be more user friendly.

Anyway, most of the guesses this year were right, kudos to the Pool Boy (finally).  Still wondering about the handlebar controls change? - will find out soon enough. Looks like a seat redesign too or maybe just a different style but backrest spot looks changed.

For the guinea pigs lucky new owners of these H2O fancy screened single latch TP 2014s, best of luck.  Looking forward to what real riders have to say about them, as opposed to website info or industry mag hype.

   Agreed!  Looks like HD is copying the competition.  The bags and tourpaks seem more rounded and copy the competition also.  Waiting to see it in person but from the early pics, well.....

I gotta say I think it looks awesome myself!

Now I know why they did not want to reveal them at Sturgis.  With the newly "redesigned" fairing people would have walked right past them and fawned all over the new Indian fairing.  They also would have to have dealt the 100's of thousands of hard core Harley riders tossing their cookies.

In the end it was best for them not to compete with Indian at Sturgis.  They would have been scalped and they knew it.

although i was reluctant at first, my 13 SERK has grown on me.
imo, it looks like the CVO RK/SERK has seen its best year in 2013.
no lowers and no audio? i thought the idea was to go forward not backwards.
unless the price is dropping substantially i don't see the value in the 2014 SERK.

From the pics I saw of the Indian fairing, it looks way worse than the HD redesign.  But it's sort of like comparing 2 different bowling shoes for style quality. Just my opinion.

+1. Not sure why they didn't keep those items on the new SERK. Glad I got my 13...
