I hear they are already re-calling all the "moon bikes" due to running too cold. I'm thinking about ordering one with the new "oil heater" and "air conditioned hand grips"

I heard they are bringing out a special limited edition anniversary FXR.
Complete with special anniversary P & A.

And the 2011 Wide Glide WILL get a proper rear fender!

I also heard of a new model for 2011: the Prestone Glide (FLHRICE)

I heard R&D is very close to an anti reving and anti blipping feature for the 2011 model year. If you try to do either while stopped, the bike shuts off while an alarm sounds repeatedly saying ***...***...***. You have to then walk 10 feet away or more for the system to stop and reset before you can start and ride off again.

I heard there will be water cooled frames (engines still air cooled) with a little fake hand that you can extend out into a permanent wave. Harley is also releasing a new line motor clothes so you can play dress up with your new fake hand. Items like rhinestone studded fingerless gloves, sold one at a time of course instead of in pairs.
