No but I heard that the Milwaukee 8 engine is really something. I'll let them work the bugs out before I jump on one...
Jeeze, they only been making 8 valve engine for 100 years

OK, I am confused....V-Twin, production motors up and until the M8 have 2 valves per cylinder and two cylinders.....that is a total of 4 valves.........
Now, has HD made 4 valve per cylinder prototypes....Oh Yah! There are a few on the motor wall at their museum..... In fact, some of those prototype motors they have on display can make you mouth water if you study them for a bit.....

"JD" John, who has left us, owned an 8 valve 'JD' he said was a factory board track racer. However, the recent "Harley and the Davidsons" series says that H-D boycotted board track racing so ???..
"JD" John, who has left us, owned an 8 valve 'JD' he said was a factory board track racer. However, the recent "Harley and the Davidsons" series says that H-D boycotted board track racing so ???. Frankly, I'll believe John. He said that Willy G sent some people out who studied and measured his bike because records had been lost during the AMA years. Then H-D announced that Willy G had the only 'authentic' 8 valve JD and that john's wasn't "authentic' because it had a transmission but John had paperwork that said otherwise so again ????. So, was John's JD a prototype or ???.
John and Lance also rode JDs with 'Flexi' hacks from SoCal to Sturgis and back but they were 4 valves.
OK, motor aside, what else has changed on the 2017 FLRT?

....Of course they also say this "Narrow Primary- The narrower primary drive gives your left foot a straighter, easier reach to the ground, for an easier lift off and more control at stoplights."
Kind of funny if you thin about it.
Yup @ 55 MPG and Way more power and soundAnyone tried one out yet? They say more power and 10% better MPG.

all-new double bending valve front suspension
More Passenger Comfort- Positions for the rear exhaust pipe and catalytic converters provide a more comfortable ride.
