I know it's a little early but....any word, rumors, facts etc. on what to expect for the sophomore year of the Milwaukee 8 CVO's? 

[OBB]

At least one black bike, maybe two. 

[Toofast_28]

I'm predicting 2 wheels on each.

[MIKEYTEE]

A hearty " They All Do That". Also most will have handlebars.

2018 CVO Servicar  !!

(but only as a midyear release)

2018 CVO Servicar  !!

(but only as a midyear release)

That would be pretty cool; although it appears the ServiCar is now called "freewheeler". Had the chance to see a few real Servi's at the Peterson Auto Museum.

to the OP-- I have no info, but with the popularity of the Dyna Lowrider S here out west; it would be awesome to see a CVO Dyna Low Bagger.

The all electric Harley flying drone bike will not be ready for 2018.  The 2018 new bikes will look better in person than than they will look in the online pictures.  Valve stem caps will be included on all new bikes at No Extra Charge.

The all electric Harley flying drone bike will not be ready for 2018.  The 2018 new bikes will look better in person than than they will look in the online pictures.  Valve stem caps will be included on all new bikes at No Extra Charge.

In 2018 all tires will be filled from the factory with nitrogen; for a $39 extra service charge.

As a dealer add-on that nitrogen will be sucked out (to be re-sold later) and replaced with nitro-helium to further lighten the bike; for a further $89 extra charge (the percentage of helium will 1.903%).

Unfortunately each of these upgrades will require recalibrations ($99 service fee each time) of the TPMS because of the different properties of each gas.  Also, it will cost $149 to R&R both tires and wheels to have them rebalanced since nitrogen and helium don't mix well thus leaving a (Harley technical term) thump of helium on one side of the tire that will have to be compensated for.  Fortunately once the two gasses do mix they then tend to stay mixed.  So only one more rebalance after 20 hours of the tires being in service and mixing the gasses through rotation will be required.

These are all new model improvements for the 2018 fleet.

Also, Harley has incorporated the blinker fluid and linked ABS systems in to one ABS/Blinker Fluid regulator pump.  With this the front and rear turn signals will continue to blink evenly no matter how hard the brakes are applied. The new special Screamin' Eagle Self Cancelling Blinker Fluid will be available approximately November 2018 as a $119.95 accessory to bring the self cancelling function to the turn signals of this new and improved system (except Dyna).

Softails will have the shocks in the dirt bike monoshock position, no longer under the frame.

Oh holy Willie.  Just realized 2018 really will be yet another excuse for "special" anniversary models and other lame BS. 

115th Anniversary!   

Does anyone REALLY believe that after putting up with ANYONE for 100 years they are still throwing a huge-ass party every five years assuming someone will buy a ticket?

So what you're saying is you already have your tickets and a room booked?

If I were inclined to consider an upgrade to a new model,  At this point, I'd only be looking at H.D.s for two reasons.  1.  The new motor (given some positive reviews) and 2. Their vast dealer network (in case of a breakdown)................elsewise,  I'd be giving some very serious consideration toward going over to the Indian camp.

New frames & further suspension improvements for all models with M8 motor.

Won't that make the trikes a bit tippy?

Heard the new bikes will also have a longer warranty - 103 weeks, minus 1 week.  My bike has gas already so will not need a 2018. 

If Harley would give away a free pie with every bike purchase, they would sell more bikes.
