Author Message   Steveford Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2016 - 08:42 pm:        This might be old news but I understand 2016 will be the last year of the air cooled big twins from the MoFoCo. 4 valve heads and increased displacement - I think it was 107 and 113 ci, too. The line I kept hearing was "Don't buy a 2017"! No worries, there.   1313 Posted on Sunday, July 31, 2016 - 10:05 pm:        No radiator(s) on this - apparent - test bike... The news has been leaked in Oz, as well. They claim air cooled. Interesting seeing a steering damper on the bike in the first article however... 1313   Steveford Posted on Monday, August 01, 2016 - 12:12 am:        That sounds pretty much what I heard and forgot (single cam) but the conjecture was they'd all be water cooled due to the gaskets that Hardley is currently sending out. I gather they're having some issues with internal coolant leakage at the moment and their flagship models have been nicknamed Steaming Eagles as a result.   1313 Posted on Friday, August 12, 2016 - 12:24 pm:        Funny... Haven't heard squat about any release of it yet, so I decided to search Milwaukee Eight on Harley-davidson.com and got the following: Sturgis is almost over, when will they make their announcement (or will it be some stupid social media 'spectacle' like 2016)? 1313   1313 Posted on Friday, August 12, 2016 - 04:31 pm:        Apparently this is the hottest, latest Harley-Davidson news... Well, that and their stock performance is less than optimal... 1313   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, August 12, 2016 - 05:25 pm:        Smoking! (And lame.)   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 - 11:57 am:        The new Harleys are out. Looks like there is indeed an 8-valve version of the big twin. http://www.harley-davidson.com/content/h-d/en_US/h ome/motorcycles/2017-motorcycles/touring.html   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 - 12:37 pm:        Nice write-up on the engine at Cycle World: http://www.cycleworld.com/harley-davidson-motorcyc les-new-milwaukee-eight-big-twin-engine#page-12   Steveford Posted on Monday, October 24, 2016 - 09:05 pm:        They're laying off 200 people (give or take). Supposedly the majority of them are coming for the York plant up the road.   Lynrd Posted on Wednesday, December 06, 2017 - 07:51 pm:        Cycle world seems to think the valve train is chain driven like a Twin Cam - but the pictures pretty clearly show pushrods. Yes, Pushrods in an engine designed in the 21st century. I haven't been paying attention to HD - When did they stop building Dyna glides?   46champ Posted on Wednesday, December 06, 2017 - 11:44 pm:        2017 was the last of the Dyna glides
