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.

Re: 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled :(
The Brakes are linked in the same manner as the Hondas have been for years. This type braking really works well....

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!
Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE
The specs on the 2014 103 engine says air cooled, The pic. you posted shows a water pump cover...which is it ?...or is the water pump an add on
I've suffered a great many catastrophes in my life....

Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE

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.
Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE
You guys know more so you are right on then!!!
Still want to test one out and compare to mine now..
Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE
Like to see some new solid colors..
Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE
will a external cd player work for you??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.

Re: 2014 Harleys WOW! PROJECT RUSHMORE
No CD player wouldn't stop me from buying one! That's for sure
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 !!.....

Re: the 2014 Tri-Glides are water cooled
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!
