It looks to me like they dropped the water cooling on the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glide and went back to oil cooling?  I only see the tell tale radiators on the Limited...I wonder why?

I think SG still twin cooled but RG not.

I'll take a grey one.... I think I can work with it... I have some ideas I'd like to try.....

With what you do I would love to see you "do your thing" with a 18!! I think it would turn out amazing..

I think they have just hidden it.  There's a large contraption in the lower center near where the water pump would mount under the voltage regulator?

Thank you. I have compiled a small list in my head of things to be done and or that I would like to do. I really don't want to lose that 21-inch wheel however prior to seeing the bikes I wanted to go 180 x 21 front wheel on this bike.

That is my thought also. I have a picture of what looks like a radiator underneath the regulator.

From everything I can decipher, that bauble hanging below the rectifier is a small oil cooler.  The following touring models DO NOT have twin cooling:
Road King and RK Special
Street Glide and SG Special
Road Glide and RG Special
Electra Glide Ultra
CVO Street Glide and Road Glide
Freewheeler

Funny that twin cooling was the bees knees a few years ago and now only a handful of touring bikes remain.  Ultra Limited, Ultra Limited Low, Road Glide Ultra (all 107 M8's) and the CVO Limited (the only 117 M8 twin cooled).  Maybe that little experiment is going the way of the dodo....

Nether is twin cooled.  The CVO Street glide does not have the vent for the fan.  Look at specs its not listed as twin cooled.

Saw that on web site also.  However in the specs its not listed as twin cooled, neither is the CVO Street glide.  HD always has mistakes on their web site

This has got to be somebody's idea of a joke from the Neanderthals in the marketing and paint department...."offset front graphic look good.  Dumb masses [read those words quickly] will purchase.  Company make money.  Good for bottom line.  Raises we get"

 With the colors and the price, I think dealers will be sitting on these for a long time. Have a feeling that my red 16 Limited will be my last Harley.

Other than the 117 M-8 I see NOTHING that would entice me to part with my hard earned $$ to purchase a new bike. This line up (style wise) has got to be the worst I have seen from H.D. in memory. W.T.F.!

They caught one of their mistakes. That helps clear some things up though. I for one am not disappointed that the Road Glides aren't liquid cooled. Something I didn't care for when I road the 17 Ultra was the lowers were in my way. If I owned one I would have been cutting the lowers to allow my feet to move more freely.

Looks like your right!   I went to Outpostalaska and looked at the parts.   It's an oil cooler and they do not list a coolant pump or coolant hoses..

I am definitely in the minority here as I like all 3 Road Glide colors. I see potential in all of them. For me it is about time they departed from the norm and did something different. For the sake of Harley hopefully for as many that don't care for the colors there are just as many that do. I am after a M8 CVO RG bike and the fact that there are no lowers on the Road Glides is a win win for me.
