Hey guys,
My first post. My brother owns an 07 Electra Glide which I was very
impressed with. (never been a Harley fan) It had electronic throttle
control, alarm, no key, electronic cruise, etc and plenty of power. I'd be
interested except for the heat. The cross over pipe was burning me up. All
these modern electronics with an air cooled engine! Will Harley ever go to
water cooling? My brother told me some crap about "true Harley riders don't
want no stinkin water cooled engine." I say bring them on and I'll buy.

The dealer will be open on Monday. Let us see the pictures of your new
V-rod when you get it home.

Ok, I'll give you that one, I should have been more specific. When will
they put water cooled engine on their cruisers?

They did. 6 years ago. The Vrod is nothing if not a cruiser.
