That first line discussed behind the rear head goes on after over the starter and on top of the transmission housing. At least that general area.  Maybe to an emissions canister?

[SHRADER]

Boy it's fun to speculate ain't it Don!!! Wish the ol Poolboy was alive cause I'm sure you would have the Scoop!!!!

At least one thing is clear...Those hoses are connected to something' and that something is Nipples, so I'm going to name this engine the "Nipple Head"

Amen to that Shrader!  It's weird (a little) when the nipples are in opposition like that.  But I'm still diggin' it; the Harley Nipple Head new for 2017.  I can see the advertising pitch now:

"It's got shapely little bumps on its rockers, four strong valves, one BIG cam and a pair of NiPPles to keep you interested on those long days in the saddle.  The new Harley Nipple Head."

...and at this moment some advertising/copyrighting schmuck at the MoCo is bitch slapping his own bald head and looking for his bottle of adult beverage....

You wanna be the beta tester!!!! If them Nipples leak you can have your very own personal Wet T shirt Contest, all while riding down your favorite Two Lane road, or you can Pull a Hubbard and do it on your favorite interstate..

For a mere 3K you can augment your Nipple Head with Genuine Screamin Eagle Supersize Nipples for that extra measure of performance and appeal!!!!

I'm trying to figure out what the highlighted line is going to.

From what I read, I thought it was a oil line cooling the rear of the heads. And there is a water (antifreeze) line cooling the front of the heads.


Time will tell.

Oh my gawd I'd not even considered the later availability at egregious extra cost of the "Screamin' Eagle Nipple Enhancement Package."  It boggles the mind!!

[SHRADER]

Truly Mind Boggling!!!

Will the owners of the new 2017 Nipple Heads collect beads for showing their Nipples???

Will you not be allowed to ride these bikes in certain areas, like within a half mile of a church or school unless you cover your Nipples from view??? Will HD offer Pasties???

Can these Nipples be Pierced with jewelry from the Motorclothes collection?

On another forum, they are called the new camel toe heads.

I am wondering what kind of special screamin' eagle tool you will need to change those center plugs?

You won't have to change those center plugs, Harley will use the super duper long life plugs tipped with unobtainium that will last 100,000 miles, or twice as long as the rest of the engine.  Changing plugs during overhauls will be recommended.

Yeah you are correct. most of us cant leave our engines alone long enough to worry about changing plugs. including myself.

The line up front appears to have a crimp type wire clamp (like used to be used on the oil lines between the engine and oil pan on the early Twin Cams).  So something with more pressure being maintained.  With the line attached to it going on down the downtube as Shrader pointed out that's very likely oil under pressure.

I see stitches from knuckle to wrist after the first wash job on that clamp.

The article says, “These engines are set up to have the heads both oil- and water-cooled. Oil feeds from the rear rocker box up to the front." 
On the bikes without lowers, no coolant due to no radiators.  I'm thinking the one pictured in the Revzilla article had no lowers, so it illustrates the oil cool only version.

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.
