Water cooled, I didn't see that where did they list it?

OH.... What parking Brake?
What happened to the huge reverse switches on the handlebars?
See the new tour pak lock and they put the upgraded hinges on?
Nice new trunk unlock mechanism.

6% gain in horsepower with at a 15% RPM increase without gearing change.
I interpret this to mean the rider can wind the motor out more in 4th or 5th having more usable torque for passing or hill climbs?

All of you guys drooling over trading yours in better wait and give them a coupla years to get the bugs figured out. I suspect there will be a lot of them!!!

Re: 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
Definitely agree with that. Funny how the pics and write-ups kinda dodge the fact of any kind of water-cooling. They are afraid do come out and flat say it's water-cooled for fear of scaring off potential buyers. I think it's a good concept though. The beast needed cooled-down!

Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103® Engine
If you started in 1909 with the very first Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine and worked your way up through every engine, every innovation, every improvement, every ride, every durability test in all those years and countless miles since, you arrive at the Twin Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103™ engine. This is the top of the line. 103 cubic inches of air and precision cooled Harley-Davidson® power. Twin cooling cools the heads around the exhaust ports to deliver at or near peak performance under all operating conditions and temperatures. Higher compression ratio increases efficiency and horsepower. There’s a new airbox for increased airflow and a new cam to optimize low-end torque. It’s got the fastest 60 to 80 mph 5th gear roll on in the history of Harley-Davidson. Which means it’s got the most passing power in the history of Harley-Davidson. On top of all that, it puts less heat on the rider and passenger on scorching days and in stop and go traffic.

Re: 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
I don't think its going to scare very many off...I think if anything it will do the opposite. They've been fighting EPA and heat issues from day one with the TriGlide. The patent for the cooling system was filed in 2011 so they've been seriously working on this since at least 2010.

Re: 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
They developed the water cooled heads in 2006 actually. Why they haven't put it into production until 2014 is the mystery.

Re: 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
Interesting that they have linked the rear brakes to the front brakes. Apply rear brake and it automatically links to apply front brake. But, you can apply front brake only and no link to back brake. Would have been nice if they would have put ABS on the trike. Also sounds like they have change the rear brake manufacturer.
Also looks like they have radiator looking inserts on the lower fairings. Hopefully these will still let through enough air to cool driver and passenger legs.

I wonder if the clutch is hydraulic now.

The Brakes are linked in the same manner as the Hondas have been for years. This type braking really works well....ThumbUp

Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE
Well, I was about to run out and buy a new Trike, but as soon as I saw no CD player, I will never buy one. Did the same thing on my new car - no CD player no deal.
I will never go out and buy something else in order to listen to MY music.
Takes way too long to play a particular song. On a CD it's just 2 seconds to go to a song - on a mp3 player much longer because you have to thread your way through too many levels. I easily beat a local guy going to a favorite song.
I'm good for a CD that holds up to 30 songs - that's more then enough for me. I usually need to stop at that point anyway.
Too old to go to yet another format. I went through 78 rpm, 45 rpm, reel to reel tape, 4 track, 8-track, cassette, CD and now mp3? No way!:laugh:

The specs on the 2014 103 engine says air cooled, The pic. you posted shows a water pump cover :Shrug:...which is it ?...or is the water pump an add on :xzqxz::xzqxz:.

Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE
I just got back from my dealership...They are getting in 20 2014's today...didn't know if a Trike is in that group or not. Yep...They are water cooled.

Re: 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
I love almost everything I see, except 2 things
1 No CD player that a deal killer for me
2 The beautiful red paint is gone, being replaced with a very dark red color - at least thats what it looks like in the on line brochure. Also a deal breaker.

Still want to test one out and compare to mine now..
You guys know more so you are right on then!!!

Re: the 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
They refer to it as dual cooling,,,,,,, Could be oil or water. Nothing says exactly what that I've found. They are cooling around the exhaust & valves, so that could be either. The compression is 10.01:1, & a new cam........
I found the CD player will skip if you get on a bumpy road. The thumb drive wouldn't do that. Also there isn't anything that moves inside the thumb drive, it is direct file access. There isn't any looking for files except if the CPU in the radio is terribly slow, but it should still be faster than a CD. The thumb drive only has a limit on space like maybe 1,or 2gb. better than the 700mb of a CD.
Also the heat is lower than a CD drive, big time. Sometimes you can't even get a disk out of the player until it cools down. Haven't had that problem with the TG, but others.
By the way I do have some 4 & 8 track tapes in case you are interested..... Just kidding,,, you can't have them !!.....

So no CD player but it now has built in XM radio, bluetooth,and iPod/iPhone connectivity and color changing gauges?

Re: the 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
Just got back from the h-d dealer.They had one trike in & 13 bikes coming in.The trike has a lil reservoir inside both lower fairings.It looked like anti freeze in it.The tour pak is thinner,but wider & a lil longer.The inside does not have the rounded corners.They have led lights so they don't need that space.So that is supposed to add a lil bit more room.Alot of things i missed but,they had quite a few people veiwing it.I got the parts catalog & the screamin eagle catalog,so i'll be able to look later & see whats in there.I read the handle bars were different,but i couldn't really say,i don't remember what my stock bars were like.I know it has alot more to see then what i saw,but like i said,lots of people!
