When will the 2016 CVO's be out? I'm ready for a new one if the colors are right. Any news on changes?

[DCFIREMANN]

They will be released to the public at the Dealer meeting. The new bikes usually start hitting the dealers right after that. CVO's may not be out on the floor till the first or second week of September. If the timing will be the same as in past years!!!

I stopped worrying about new models after I purchased and dealt with the problems on my 07 seultra. Never ever buy another new one

good choice! let someone else be the guinea pig.

My local dealer reckons that "The word on the street" is that Harley have submitted an emissions test report on the 120s engines on all the touring models,
Now if true this doesn't mean it will be coming next year!,the Rushmore took  4 years to finally get to market, with I am sure many test reports along the way,  so the 120s will be coming no doubt with stock bikes having 110 engines as standard but my money is on this happening around 2017/18 model year launch........just saying,that's all!.

Just heard of a new emissions/performance enhancement for the 2016s models.  Little wind driven counter rotating propellers will self-deploy below the radiators on water cooled bikes to drive new mechanical generators at speeds above 50 mph to lower the parasitic drag on the engine from the stator and rotor.  Also a small sail will automatically deploy from the tour pak on all Ultra models when wind speed and direction make this advantageous.  These were enhancements made to meet upcoming fuel economy and emissions requirements and to aid performance.  Ultra models with the new SE Sail will, unfortunately, no longer be able to store anything in the tour pak.

Unfortunately the sail will leak, bend under torque load and not support bluesail technology.  But I'm sure it will be correctly branded with a bar and shield in black and orange.

So says the pool boy.  So follow the sheep.

The infotainment system will be upgraded to a heads up display.  Unfortunately it will still be buggy and require constant updates.  Harley will adopt the Microsoft model and release new updates on the third Tuesday of every month.  The HUD will only work with Harley branded windshields specifically designed to work with the system, will be patented to prevent competition from the aftermarket, and will only cost $699 each.

This part probably isn't too far fetched.......

Little wind driven counter rotating propellers will self-deploy below the radiators on water cooled bikes to drive new mechanical generators at speeds above 50 mph to lower the parasitic drag on the engine from the stator and rotor.

Unfortunately, just like the thousands of wind-driven turbines mounted on every hill in West Coast states, these will overspeed at 60 mph and either shut off or tear apart the generators.  MoCo's response will be "They all do that."   

[DCFIREMANN]

Well with all of this speculation going on here. I just think I will wait for the Pool Boy to show up and give us the real scoop!!!!

I'd read that the HUD display in Beta wasn't designed to display on the windshield at all but instead in a new HD only proprietary helmet.  In Beta, however, it was reported they scrapped the whole system due to two insurmountable (for HD) options.  No one at HD could transliterate the display from Chinese characters and it displayed on the inside of the helmet in the back.

Oh yeah, and the display only worked when submerged (in a pool [forgot {to make up} that part]).

Bluesail is awesome  !

BMW Motorcycles will have HUD 2017. (Seen it, not a rumor)

[iski]

Will the sail, wind turbines, & HUD retrofit to bikes built before 2016?  Where I live, if properly sharpened, those propellers could be used to slice a road kill lunch.  Would rather have the chrome upgrade, will settle for stainless, heard the OEM propellers are plastic made from recycled Barbie dolls & failure rate was the usual +/- 34%, within spec.

If you attempt to use the sail as a bike cover, you will void your warranty.
