Wow new colours on all the existing models! How does HD manage to be so innovative again and again year after year, well done to their design and engineering departments, knocked it out of the park again. I bet Polaris aren't feeling so confident with the launch of their Indian brand now that they've seen what HD has in store for 2014 ... new colours.
Can't say I'm a massive fan of the new colours, all I can say is thank fuck that none of them watercooled romors where true
I just checked out the 2014 leccy glide on the US site cause the Aussie site isn't up and running yet and it has heaps of different new features as well as paint. Looks good IMHO but i am biased.
And a big YES, some of the touring range IS watercooled. It is called a twin-cooled model. I think only on FLHTK (electra glide ultra limited) and FLHTCUTG ( trike glide) for now.
Have a look for yourselves.

So I guess dual cooling is about some oil whizzing around the exhaust valve, like an XR. Power up too(?) on the 103's From 98.7ft lbs @3,000 rpm (2013) to 97.4ft lbs @3,000 (2014)..oh sorry that's down not up. But when H-D spec the Rushmore option(?) you get 104.7ft lbs @ 3,250...................totally confused. Wonder what difference that makes out on the road?
Now I know what to do change the colour on my 2001 Dyna and then I have a newer model do think my bike would increase value in the market place by doing this lmao.
Btw not a fan of some of the new colours and what have they done to the Fatbob what was going through the design teams mind with that tail light it looks like crap.
I don't think they could have made the Fatbob any uglier if they tried! Did they get Homer Simpson to redesign it?
I think its bloody disgusting. GLad I have an older one.
Looks like they found some of Erik Buells old RR1000 tail lights lying around and put em on for a joke.
New candy colours are good . Air scoop in Street Glide fairing .Don,t like the Fat Bob rear .
"Foremost among the announcements is the first liquid-cooled engine outfitted on a Harley touring bike called the Twin Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 V-Twin. According to Harley PR, “Twin cooling cools the heads around the exhaust ports to deliver at or near peak performance under all operation conditions and temperatures.” This is achieved via a small 1.1 quart liquid-cooling system that routes through the downtubes to discreet radiators housed in the lower fairing louvers. Claiming the system will make less engine heat in stop-and-go traffic, it utilizes a higher flow airbox as well. Harley bumped up the compression ratio on the TC103 and installed a new cam aimed at improving low-end torque. The first two Harley motorcycles with the Twin Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103 engine are the 2014 Ultra Limited Motorcycle and the 2014 Tri Glide Ultra Motorcycle. There's also a 110 cubic inch version of the Twin Cooled engine available in the 2014 CVO Limited. . . . . . . . . "

So so so glad got my fat bob 2013. The reason I bought it was because it had that raw stripped mongrel look.
NOT THE CAFE LATTE 2014 LOOK
GONNA KEEP MY 2013 forever
