I agree.  It is odd we have not seen any info from the California EPA that is usually the first indicator

Last year, they didn't have it on the CARB page until only a few days prior to the dealer meeting.  I suspect that will be the new trend, but I keep looking.

Do you think Vegas gets as excited about the new models as we do..? Pretty funny...I'd wager there's some wagering going on - like what models will make CVO or what new tech will be availble...

I would bet that we see tire pressure monitors on the 2015's.

I agree.  I think they're going to do that because Indian has it and should be easy enough to incorporate into the audio/gps unit.

Although a nice thing to have, assuming it told you the actual pressure and if it were accurate, you know the dealer is going to tell you that you have to replace it about every time you replace a tire.  Then they can jack up the bill for a tire change even more.

I'm sure the feds will require the TPMS sooner rather then later. Already required on passenger vehicles under 10K pounds.
Fortunately, still not an option on the Ford DRW's.

I have and prefer my aftermarket system, which in my opinion is superior to the ford offered factory types.
Real time pressure and temperature monitoring and adjustable alert parameters. And, user replaceable batteries

Dave, had my front tires replaced on the truck in May. Dealer charged me for a TPMS maintenance service. Required on all tire "off the rim" services.

Only problem with my truck is that it took a bit of a discussion to get it removed from my bill.

Not enough torque in the V-Rod motor, unfortunately! It would need more displacement. But what a great motor if they could build torque from 2000 rpm up.

Add two more cylinders, keep the same V configuration.

Add two more cylinders, keep the same V configuration.

I'd be pleased as punch if they'd just use the same basic configuration as the V-rod but use side by side rods and crank the stroke up to 4.5 inches+- and a bore of 4.125+-. Hmmm 128 ci 4.250 bore x 4.5 stroke. Or go with a square engine of 4.250 x 4.250 and 120ci. Wonder how that would calculate on other engine software?

And it's BLUE.   

Curious to see the CVO version

[CVCVORG]

With some cool new Diamond headlights, similar to the new Acuras

He probably got them from here.  Been up for 3 or 4 days now in 3 or 4 threads.

 Kind of reminds me of a robot from Futurama.

It's likeable but is it worth getting rid of my 09 even in CVO form HEALLLL NO!!!!   "DH"

I'm not really sure what everyone was expecting.  It's still a Road Glide fairing and it still looks like a Road Glide fairing.  They had to retool it to add the air vents, which we'll find out just what functions they perform next month.  They also had to retool the inner fairing for the new Infotainment system.  They also had to make everything that goes inside fit just right.  So yes, they made a lot of changes to the fairing as a whole, but the appearance hasn't changed all that much.  It's still unmistakably a Road Glide fairing, and with that comes the fact that some will like it and some won't.  That isn't going to change.  If it isn't liquid cooled out of the gate, and they didn't figure a way to put the cooling system in the fairing (and I don't think they can find the room in the fairing to do so), then we will eventually see a version with lower fairings equipped with the cooling system.  Personally, I'd like to see a Road Glide Ultra CVO and Road Glide Ultra standard or limited model introduced this year with liquid cooling.
