I guess now that Deeley (prior exclusive Canadian importer for H-D) is gone and dealers in Canada are now working directly with the MoCo, the rumour mill is heating up north of the 49th...

Recently I heard that for 2017 we can look forward to oil cooled heads and a move from 103 to 107 for the standard models, with the CVO's going to 117.

Just wondered if anyone else has heard the same. 

Go back a page or two. All they've been talking about "nipple" this and "nipple" that.

Thanks for the direction.

After posting I went back to read the whole thread and figured out that I have old news... I guess all that nipple talk got to me and fogged my mind.

So silly. HD makes a lot of money on their SE upgrade kits. They have a significant investment in the wet head technology and will not be moving to a new engine design anytime soon. The engine in the pic is actually a milking machine and the line doesn't carry oil. So sit back and relax and let's just listen to our noisy ticking engines and wait for those awsome lifters to fail!

Another SESG I wonder? Speakers in the bag lids, rear footpegs and a two piece seat.

[Kingspoke]

Without a doubt a SESG.  I noticed how the exhaust exits the rear cylinder, similar to the Thunderstroke 111.  I also noticed that contrary to my opinion, that the Twin Cooled engines are still utilized for 2017.

I can't vouch for the authenticity either!

The street glide CVO has a 114 badge. In case someone missed it. And it looks like there is a less clearly defined break between the case and cylinder. Could these cases split horizontally like the Vrod with the cylinder cast into the top half?

Looking at that picture again and there is no case split visible like in every other non-Vrod since 1903 so yeah, these cases split the other way I think...Could just be the picture...If that is true it will make any type of big bore kit a LOT more problematic.

I see the 114 in the second pix now that I went back and looked again. Really seems like an anemic attempt to one-up the other bikes in the displacement category. Seems like history shows the CVO always jumped at least 7 CID when the engine went bigger.

Moving away from motor talk a bit here....I like the painted on tank badging...

I seriously doubt Harley is going to invest a bunch of money in a new engine design and then go backward by eliminating water cooling.  For those who seem to think oil cooling the heads is some magical system that will let them avoid those nasty ugly radiators, think again.  A true oil cooling system will need a large radiator, otherwise called an oil cooler, so all you do is swap one ugly heat exchanger for a different ugly heat exchanger, unless they plan to hide it under the seat and duct air to it.  Built in heated seat, whether you want it or not.  Probably work wonders on the electronics also.

Personally, I still think it's really just an electric motor underneath a plastic mock-up of a traditional looking engine.

OK, who plans to sign up to be the beta testers for the new models this time?  I assume Harley assumes the 110 beta testers will have forgotten all about their experiences after nine years and will be eager to do it all over again.

Looks like the one on my 2004 Huckleberry. Oh Jez, I hope they don't do an Black/Blue in this one , I may have trade Betsy and Orange Crush in and learn to love lowers...

I think I'll pass this time and just ride my 117''. Done that in 07 with a brand new cuse. Head gaskets.....
