Don't know if anyone else has seen this new line of bikes coming out from HD yet? Seems some of them have cylinder heads that are water cooled, apparently giving the old girls a little more power and making them a bit more emission friendly. In other words, Harley is slowly trying to ease their bikes into the modern era, while still being appealing to their faithful. These bikes feature twin radiators, one on each side. They apparently tried to integrate them into the current styling without being too obvious. Am I the only one that finds them to be ridiculous looking? Two big wide honkin' radiators just to cool the heads? Didn't BMW do this with their flat twins without resorting to something this obvious?

They've got an issue (or an opportunity) The old school faithful that wants a harley to be a harley and the epa.
It'l be interesting how they navigate their transition with all their offerings without damaging their to die for marketing position.
Hint; add some performance now that you are in the modern world...
