Any guesses? Wonder how many 103 / 110's they got lying around?

 

Well, this is the question that we are all wondering about. 2018 or 2019 is my guess. One fun question is: will they do Softails and Dynas at the same time or will one line-up get the M-8 a year before the other one does?

Love my 2015 Fat Boy and I don't know if I would trade up if they had a Fat Boy come out with the M-8 engine. One good thing is that by the time that the Softails get M-8s we should know if there are any bugs, and the bugs will likely be worked out.

 

I'm content with my 103 in my 2014. For the kick in the pants I would take on trade and depreciation I'll just put a Fuel Moto 107 kit in her and make her better then the M-8. The bike is almost to where I want it cosmetically. I don't want to have to go through all that time and money again starting from scratch. HD would need to come out with a bike that's pretty spectacular to make me trade mine in on something new. The M8 is not worth it in my opinion.

 

IMHO..M8 107ci on Softail in 2018..

 

IMHO too!
Same thing in history w/TC

 

In the past it's been one or two years.

 

he external breather is that from dk customs, did you notice any gains, or dyno the bike by chance?

 

Yes, the kit is from DK Customs. There is absolutely no performance increase but it does leave the throttle-body and upper cylinders/piston tops etc a lot cleaner.

 

I'm guessing 2018. Simpler to have only one big twin motor in production at a time.

 

I wonder if it will be the same motor, with the balance shaft weighted differently, or if it will have a totally different balancing shaft system like the B motors have now.
