Water cooled Servicar.  With new SE combination radiator/seat.  Will be marketed as a butt warmer.

I agree with 2lane -- I'd have PLENTY of cargo room with it as so as I attach my bushtec to it.....

I read that the baggers are to be called FLH20

Man, you guys have me roarin' with laughter! Great stuff. My predictions for 09 CVO's - bigger blocks, tight cylinder liners, tight head gaskets, 4 valves per jug, liquid-and-air-cooled, more HP, more torque, and fewer problems. My fantasies/suggestions - medium block V4's and small block V8's, putting out 150-200 HP and 150-200 lbs. of torque.

my stealer told me that , he heard that a cvo road glide with a 240 rear tire was in the works

Every year it is the same thing. Wonder what the next year will bring?


I may have a real hard time keeping my husband for seeing the green grass on the other side of the fence if they bring out a 113.  He really liked the 08s all colors.  I had to keep beating him back from them.  And he still wants to get the 04 SEEG in OnB ..... long list of wants and short list of $$$$$.  But, I - for 1.  Am very happy with my 05 SEEG.  Still low mileage, still works great for what I want it to do and I don't have to trade for the unknown. 

That is just me, of course.  I will sit here and watch all the folks that just have to get the new stuff.  I am not wishing bad, no, not at all.  Just think that BB's on course.  If I had the inkling and the funds, there are a lot of proven CVO models to pursue before the new. 

[Garznhogs]

Am I dreaming, or did I hear that the Detonator wheels were being re-introduced for CVOs, but without chrome?

No, no, wait, I'm serious!

My front Detonator is already trying to change over to the new style! How cool is that?!  My dealer is happy for me.

I don't feel that Harley will be able to lean out the engines any more
without significant melt down. So how do you meet EPA regulations?
Water-cooling is the only way I see to fix the problem. The MoCo has
probably been working on this since late 2006 when they figured out
the new engines were going to be a problem. I hope they have a good
fix or a lot of people will be angry. We choose to ride these bikes
because they are Harley Davidson's. If they screw around with us long
enough, even the faithful will jump ship. There are a lot of bikes out there
for less money that are engineered and assembled much better. I love
my bike, I just wish they were all better made. Just my 2 cents.

What's really odd about the whole thing is there are many aftermarket 45 degree high horsepower/torque V-twin motors that are made that meet EPA requirements.

Isn't the 110 an 1800??

RM,
Yep, and Honda came out with a reliable one in "02" on the VTX1800.

The Victory's are 100" and 106" and run fine.

If you want a crankshaft engine, maybe.

I'll keep my single crankpin design, and deal with it!

Hoist!

Agreed.

As I stated earlier there are several aftermarket company's producing 45 degree, air cooled, single crankpin, high HP/TQ motors that are meeting EPA standards. If we are going to compare... compare apples to apples. Honda's and Victory's are nice, but they aren't the same.

For instance, S&S has an EPA certified big-bore v-twin.  Can they do it because the restrictions are less for component manufacturers, or those that don't make large quantities?

this is just me talking.... but i thought restrictions requirements for EPA were across the board for a particular weight class of vehicle. but hey it wouldn't be the first time that the government made a rule that didn't seem straight forward and legit, I guess it all comes down to who's hand was in who back pocket the day the law was signed
