I heard 110s in all touring models and CVOs get 117"s....who knows!

I understand they want the current supply of touring models cleared out. That would support your theory. I'm waiting to see if/what the new street glide will look like. Citrus would be nice. lol 
No '17 cvo street glide = 117 going in mine.

I find it amazing that nothing has leaked yet about new models. How do they do that? We know more about Russia's future nuclear programs than  a bunch of CVO's being released in about a month?
Where do they keep those bikes away from spy shots? Fort Knox?

Past HD employees who leaked info on new models have been fired.  MoCo suppliers sign non disclosures that prevent them from leaking info.  Some years a picture or 2 has leaked out of a HD photographer taking brochure pics of the new models.  HD employees sometimes have future changes incorporated into their bikes a year or more prior to release to the public - like the hydraulic clutches. Not that they would share that info. 

The biggest obstacle to not getting good intel on 2017 models has been the silence of The Pool Boy.  Willie G. retired and it appears The Pool Boy is in seclusion these days.  Was hopeful a Mole would emerge but so far, they appear to remain buried.

The new 2017 adjustable windshields and bigger motors and/or a new SOHC motor and 8 speed tranny rumors abound in spite of the dearth of reliable information.

Maybe they are following Apple's protocol, they can build millions of iphones with numerous companies involved all over the globe and keep it under wraps somehow.
 
Come to think of it, a lot of Apple's work is done in China, a country that can get away with stricter ultimatums than the US.   

That would lead one to surmise that HD's are now being built in China, a globalist move to attract more liberal riders.

Or it may be easier to hide in plain sight when the basic design hasn't changed since 1936..... If seen it could be passed off as a one of custom bike.
Now it would be much harder to make a touring model with a big brother v-rod type motor and changes to the frame and suspension etc. and to keep that hidden.

The CARB report should be available soon to identify 2017 models and engine sizes; though likely only a few days before the dealer meeting.  The lead time used to be longer, but has been reduced significantly.

H-D area reps recently hinted simply that there would be "more power".  I interpret that to mean more 110s in various standard models, and the likelihood of 117s for CVOs.  We'll know soon.

If you leak new models or new features, you kill the sales of the present model year.

I'm still hopin' for a new Servicar......

From the amount of inventory on some showroom floors, appears the killing already started without the leaks.

For sure.  And you'd think there would be discounting to move 'em out but I've not noticed any.

It'll be interesting to see what the 17s look like and come equipped with.  I've sworn more than once that 'this is my last new Harley' so 'never say never' but it would take quite a bit to push me in that direction.

On HDForum, rumors of a Sport Glide"?


I would love one!

Same thing I have seen.  Used bikes sales seem to be ok some places.  New sales are slow.  The "deal" offered is low or no interest and/or delayed payments.  With interest rates already cheap it reminds me of when bubble gum was a penny and sometimes you got 2 for a penny.  In truth for me is less exciting than that because back then I really liked bubble gum.

If there is a new motor for 2017 that would be of real interest.  Something innovative that has been tested and actually works like it is supposed to when you ride off - might be of real interest too.  If it's gee golly whiz bang spiffy new paint colors with a stripe variation on the same tin - yawn.
