I didn't subscribe. Just posting to say I didn't subscribe. I did not subscribe so therefore I do not need to post to say I'm un-subscribing.

Currently running at full throttle here the day after the holiday weekend. I will try to post tomorrow with more pictures and info we gathered over the past couple weeks.

I will add that the 14 Twin Cooled bikes do run cooler than previous models engine temp wise which is a good thing, as for exhaust heat the catalyst head pipe runs at the same temp as earlier models. We will soon have specific test data we will share, so please stay tuned. So far we are really liking the new bike and it will be an excellent platform to work off of.

Heck yeah! Waiting patiently for some data and offerings of tuners, pipes, etc... Right now it looks like a Harley, but it sounds like a Honda!

Thanks Jamie.
very nice to have some one like you guys trying out the 14 Harley so we can get honest answers to how they will perform.

Can't wait to see what you post tomorrow. Like I said before, you are one of the people I trust 100% here on the forum. If you say you like the 14s, I'm sold. Now all I have to do is convince the wife . . .

I'm going to try that too, nothing else seems to work.

Sigh, never marry an accountant, motorcycle payments don't make sense to them.

I've found a simple truth.. it's always easier to ask forgiveness than permission..

Oh.. and the accessories... they're for safety ya know.. Where do you think the "loud pipes save lives" phrase came from? LOL

I run my house hold finances. I have Five banking accounts.

First one is a joint account.

Second is my personal account (My Name Only)

Then I have three out of state accounts. (My Name Only) None of these banks have branches in the state I live.

My Fav song. Can't Touch This 8^) Yes I've been through a divorce before.

The liquid cooled heads are not about more power, its about sustaining power. My 2012 limited that I traded in had light to moderate pinging at 2500 to 3000 on the freeway at any temperature above 80F. Power Vision eliminated that but at the cost of 1 degree of timing. More fuel cooled it, but didn't eliminate the pinging.

The new limited lets me run two up, loaded, 105F in Phoenix.... no pinging, and noticeably more power, all day (250 miles on monday alone ) 5th gear passing is a roll on breeze, rides like its on rails ( rear shocks still suck) dozens of welcome changes, radio is great ( pandora over bluetooth, waiting for sat to arrive.) and missing the lower glove boxes ( looking for alternative ).

So... 944 shocks and catelectomy is next (V&H power duals and hi flow slip ons) and waiting for the PV2 cable and update.... if needed.
