My guess is you won't see it until HD put the 103 in all of their touring bikes as oem. Also I think it will show up in a CVO first before they roll it out into other bikes. My WAG is 2013 the bike's 110th b-day.

One problem is, a lot of consumers are complaining to Harley about the lean running and heat etc. not realizing that that is being done so that at least we can still buy an air-cooled motorcycle.
FYI tuners have been illeagal for many years......they are for offroad/race use only

It will eventually happen, has too! And i would have now problem going down to the shop and buying one when im ichin for a new ride. It will be ok. Harley will still be harley, and maybe all the cry-babies who complain about the heat will stop already.

As long as it's a 45 degree V-Twin with cly fins I could live with watercooling it!

Why not, keep the fins and add a little water cooling. We arn't buying new flatheads.

Although it was before my ownership time, I've heard many Harley owners complained when MOCO moved away from the drive chain and move to the drive belt. Water cooling is coming...probably along with bunch more horsepower....

I hope that I don't need to take that decision.
