Hoblick Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 It will be interesting to see how that is received.its like 70/30or so thats what i take away from the harley forums.. most people are for harley getting water cooling.hell most people are for harley advancing there technology in general. alot of people complain about old suspension tech, old brake techn, so on and so forth.but they wont buy a different brand lolwater cooling would be nice, cause they could get more power out of the bike, less heat, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Better emissions is probably driving this move. Consistent temps = consistent detonation and burn.Not that it's a bad thing, necessarily, but there are 100 other ways to improve a Harley.

Kritz Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) its like 70/30or so thats what i take away from the harley forums.. most people are for harley getting water cooling.hell most people are for harley advancing there technology in general. alot of people complain about old suspension tech, old brake techn, so on and so forth.but they wont buy a different brand lol My Harley has big Brembo brakes, inverted front forks, a water cooled DOHC 4 valve per cylinder fuel injected engine with 120HP and was absolutely glued to the showroom floor. The dealer gave me $5,500 off just to get it out of there......Must have been a lack of floorboards. I don't think the average HD air-head buyer will ever change.

ReconRat Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah, cooling just the heads, to just barely be able to meet the emission requirements in Europe and USA. Leaving the cylinders looking traditional. Heard that some of the radiators will be hidden in small lower fairings. Wonder if that makes it look like a scooter...

Tpoppa Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I can't wait to see how much the Screaming Eagle coolant costs. I heard it's made from ground up pieces of leather and chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
