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.

I was one, it was not fun.

On the brighter side, when the new motors fail, the air bubble problems in the 2017 hydraulic clutches will be a minor issue in comparison.

Back to the 114 motor for a second...

I cant make out the line that Twolane and I were talking about with the FreeWheeler, Revzilla pictures. Maybe the bikes with lowers remain to have liquid cooled heads, while the bikes without lowers have oil cooled heads.

They appear to; at least the SESGS

At least on the recent pics there does appear to be a difference.  In a side by side you can see the rear line as a very pronounced and obvious extension from the rear head.  It's hard to miss.  See no such extension on the other pic.

Thanks for the clarification pictures Don!!!

No lines from rear head means no Nipple Head CVO!!!

Great observation!  We don't know if the Freewheeler was just a test mule in a non-production configuration, and/or if the SESGS has more stuff to be assembled on it, but it's fun to speculate. 

Radiator fluid is twice as efficient at extracting heat, compared to oil.  I remember all the stories of leaking radiators and hoses when the twin-cool just came out.  Hope the owners of these M8's don't suffer a similar fate, with this new plumbing.

What looks like a line at the rear looks more like a spark plug wire which makes no sense.

Look at the clamp right by the end of the arrow and you'll see it's definitely not a plug wire.

The are two views of the rear cylinder in the picture. The left side of the picture is taken from the cam side and the right side of the picture is from the primary side. If you look at the picture from the cam side it looks more like a plug wire coming from top of the rocker box. Just thought it looked odd.

Like I said...

The Freewheeler in the Revzilla pictures does not have lowers so it has the extra hoses that are likely used with the oil cooled system with a BIG oil cooler on the front....

The CVO Streetglide 114 has no such extra lines visible, and they would be very visible, given the clarity of the picture...So maybe its just liquid cooled like current production bikes with lowers.

I believe that is a plug wire you are seeing on the cam side. These M8's supposedly have dual plug heads.

Got a deposit in at the dealership.

How many miles do you have on your '15 now Joe? Any particular model you'll be interested in? I'm guessing no SERG for next year as there's pix of a new SESG out there.

46k on it now. Been riding the Skunk more lately trying to get miles on the new build. I don't think there'll be a SERGU in 17 but I'm hoping they do a SERG. If they don't I'll probably add the extended warranty on the 15 and keep it for now.
