Water Cooled Softail ( Fat Boy ) ???
Do you think HD will go to a water cooled Softail/Fat Boy in the near future ? Or will they remain air/oil cooled bikes ?

I'd say a shop or a bloke might do it first , the bagger engines will fit a Softy frame ?
I don't know.

I can't imagine Harley ever voluntarily making its cruise bikes liquid cooled. The bleats of outrage from the nouveau traditionalists would be enough to break the internet.

Not a fan of the new fatboy......Looks like a hybrid between traditional fatboy and V-Rod....And the V-Rod IMO should never have been introduced into the harley line.

Somebody already did, in 2004 and it's 125 cubic inches. Vulcan 2000. I still have it. It corners like a Buss, pulls like a Freight train.
