I heard the same thing at a dealership in SC. For what it's worth, I demoed a Road Glide this past weekend absolutely hating the way it looked. I also rode the Road King and Street Glide. The RG was the smoothest riding on the interstate at 75 mph. The faster I went the smoother it was in regards to wind and buffeting. The 103 was pretty impressive as well.

They had to redesign the fairing in order to fit the radiator in it.

my dealer stated he thought the redesign was coming due to it being water-cooled,before every one does a twist off on this he was fairly right about some other stuff but sucked as he charged tax on tax

Where did this 'fact' come from?

Not sure where the root of this rumor came from BUT, I am sure there is some playing with the fairing simply to improve air flow would be my best guess. Nothing crazy and adjustable seems out of place for a company built of after-the-sale parts sales. I for one am curious to see if anything actually comes from all these 2013 rumors. My best guess is for some big changes in 2014.
