If it does come out....Who wants to do the ''Free'' Research and Development for them:mad: .....
[SIZE=3]The designers have forgotten to mention one little thing.................the extra heat. What are they going to do about getting rid of that?

Air cooled and turbo charger is just not a marriage that will last a long time without high maintenance lol

If it wasn't for Heat on Harleys ....There won't be anything to talk about on Harley Forums.....Not too many complaints in the winter though' But give it a few more months.. ..:D..
Super charged and turbo are two different animals. Super chargers are mechanically drivin Turbos aren't a parasitic drag so they're better in some ways. Turbos do love heat. All Harley fixes have been bandaids. They have to shitcan the traditional Harley motor and come up with something that is reliable and is high performance. Everything Harley does seems to come up short. Power shouldn't be added on it should be built in.:Shrug:

Very true Superchargers are completely different turbos do make way more heat. Increased fuel usage will also increase heat. A true water cooled engine properly put together will last many miles with either but I don't think I could be wrong harleys are there yet.

Yeah, Ducati and other v-twin builders seem to understand that. What's wrong with HD?
