Seen some drawings and its a simple exhaust valve cooling system. The external dimensions and look of the engine won't change. There's just a water jacket around the exhaust valve on each head. There'll be two separate tiny radiators and on the tourers they'll be easily hidden in leg sheilds.
It's like the system used on the XR1200 but with water instead of oil.
Of course the article was dated April 1 so it may be a prank.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

It's the other way around - the 'other' engines are so inefficient that they DO require water-cooling...Originally Posted by imdying

But he's partly right, Harley DO make the V-Rod water-cooled, but I believe Porsche designed it?

Porsche has involved in the design, much like the Subaru Legacy Blitzen editions, a Porsche engineer sat on the bonnet of one, may as well claim it.Yeah, a master fisherman

porsche was involved with evo engine which without doubt is the best engine hd ever made
problem with the twin cams is they were designed to get around noise and emission controls rather than any other parameter - they wanted an air cooled motor that looks like a harley engine and thats what they got
they run so bloody lean to cut down emissions that they overheat which has been an ongoing problem since they introduced the twin cam
the partial water cooling is no joke and porsche involvement with hd is not a joke, its one of the things that turned hd around in the 80's and stopped it going under
