&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;I posted this in the general forum but wanted to make sure you guys saw this.
The 2009 Ultra Classics will be offered with the exact same engine they have now or&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;the water cooled&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;vrod engine. The frames have been redesigned to accomodate both. This is not a rumor or speculation on my part it was leaked directly from an inside source at HD.
&nbsp\\;
Your "source" does not match the documents HD filed with the state of CA today.&nbsp\\; All 09&nbsp\\;touring has the 96 ci engines.&nbsp\\; No mention of a vrod motor.

Alright, here's the deal on the liquid cooled engines.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
There will be a reservior located in the fairing with a sensor controlled by the ECM. The ECM will monitor the engine temp and when it reaches the setting on the&nbsp\\;high limit control it will send a signal to the cooling system. The cooling system will start a small fan and begin misting the engine, similar to the little battery powered fan/misting bottle my grandaughter likes to carry at the beach. This feature is intended to keep the overheating problem experienced in traffic to a minimum.
