...I heard they aren't having black next year whats your thoughts on that?

[screaminCVO]

My dealer told me they got notice that there is a roadglide for sure and 2 definite colors are black and black denim. Didn't say anything about CVO or not. My Harley Dealer that is.......................

[SERK3]

I'm betting on at least a 103 Ultra with water cooled lowers. CVO 110 with same. Imagine the custom would be like the regular SG this year. I think the 120r is a pipe dream, they make a lot on folks wanting to upgrade to that, and the 110 has only been since, what, 2009?

07 is when the 110 came out, I have a 07 SERK3, 110 with 6 Speed

Hang on guys, I have an In, I'll know by the time, maybe before the dealers do.

I'd be happy if the MoCo would design / manufacture Compensators, Lifters, and Cranks, so they would be off of the "normal wear items" list

    Either that, or they should be required to list all those items on the scheduled maintenance lists so people would be forewarned.  Let's see, replace compensators every 10k, lifters at 15k or 20k, cranks should be inspected every 5k, wheel bearings every 15k, etc.

Heck, my local stealer dealer wants $400 for a 5k service and $450 for a 10k service.  I would hate to see what they would charge if you added these to the list!

It sure has been quiet  regarding the 2015's?? Changes???  Models??  Will they bring back the SG?? Should be fun to watch what happens this year especially with the RG.   

As a member of the H-D Advisory Panel, the questions asked last month would suggest that TPM systems are being planned.

I would like a TPM. The only issue is the cost.  From my understanding if a sensor needs replacing they cannot by law change a tire until it is fixed.  From what I have been told that can be $250+ on a car so HD is going to be much higher.

I don't have a lot experience with these, but I think there are two types.  One that continuously sends a pressure value of each tire to the dashboard and one that lights an idiot light simply indicating you have a low tire somewhere.  When getting new tires on my car recently, the tire technician broke my idiot light style TPM transmitter, which cost them ~$90 to replace.  I am sure the system will add to the sticker price of a H-D motorcycle and increase service costs when the battery goes dead in the TPM transmitter.  $250+ would not surprise me on the TPM systems that continuously read the tire pressure of each tire, not to mention the additional complexity this would add to the instrument panel.

I'm in the advisory panel also, and noticed all the questions concerning the TPM along with a couple other items.  Figured this was coming very soon.  Fine with me.  I like the idea of an extra set of "eyes" when it comes to air pressure.  I'll still check it before each ride, this will just keep me abreast of what's happening during the ride.

[grc]

A tire pressure monitoring system similar to the one required on passenger cars would be a waste of time and money IMHO.  Those systems don't alert you until the actual tire pressure drops to less than 75% of the cold tire inflation pressure recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle.  That is well beyond what I would consider a safe margin of underinflation, especially on a motorcycle.  And I can't imagine Harley spending the money for a continuous monitoring system with a digital real time display, unless they plan to sell it as a high priced optional accessory versus a standard equipment item.

They could put the TPM system through the EBS, but not much profit in after sales parts.

[wachuko]

Agree.  My wife is on her Second Street Glide and just loves it.  I hate it.  She hates my road glide, me its the best bike Harley makes.

We both like the Road King

Too funny... same here... 

Anyway, August can't get here soon enough to finally see what the front fairing looks like on the Road Glide... and the additional goodies included with it for that model year.
