Harley's new model touring bike to be released next year will be the FLHTCUOCBP. It will be an air/ oil cooled motor with two oil coolers mounted to each of the crash bars. It will carry 3 gallons of oil mostly of which came from the Gulf oil spill, so you have to get it from Harley. Using anything else will void your 5 year , 5 minute warranty whichever comes first. The nice feature that gives the impression of real value, is the free of charge asbestos chaps you'll need to wear or risk third degree burns from the heat given off the oil coolers. This is a fact as given to me by a salesman, so it has to be true.,,
Actually, I wonder how far HD can go with an oil cooled head setup like the XR's have.

A rubber-mount Sportster is running big rubber, as long as the 'old' FXR, as heavy as the 'old' FXR, lots of good speed equipment, etc.......my opinion only, why move up to a Dyna if you are a 'one up rider' most of the time?

Road Glide was discontinued at the end of the 09 run. The 010 is a modified custom model and looks like it will have a one year run.
There is official information out there on the other models dropped for 011. HD adds, drops and brings back models all the time. They are working extra hard to find the right mix to stay profitable in todays market.

Killing off the Street Glide? ROFLMAO.
My dealer can hardly keep a Crossbones in the store. I rode one on a demo ride and really enjoyed it, but I would have to paint over the skull and crossbones on the oil tank. Looks like it was drawn by a 6 year old.
