The 2016 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Ultra sees the addition of Harley’s Twin-Cooling system that uses an electric pump to circulate coolant through the cylinder heads around the exhaust valves. The system’s heat exchangers are tucked neatly away in the left and right fairing lowers so you can’t really tell it’s there (like the debut Twin-cooled Harley, the 2014 Ultra Limited). Harley claims the Twin-Cooled High Output TC103 has a higher 10.1:1 compression ratio than the stock Twin Cam 103, boosting torque by 10.7%.

In the mean time, here’s a quick look at the two new offerings from The Motor Company.Like the Forty-Eight first introduced in 2010, the 2012 Harley-Davidson Seventy-Two is named for the era that inspired its design.
Someone’s not done bitchin’ in the kitchen ’bout Dyna; when H-D dropped the twin-shock classic after 2017, there was more than a little wailing and gnashing of gears. The first Dyna rolled out in 1991 in the form of the FXDB Sturgis, which I think is the one I rode to Sturgis. Ten years ago, Pete and Fonzie rode the FXDC Super Glide.
Harley-Davidson revealed its four-model Custom Vehicle Operations lineup for 2015, adding new CVO versions of the Road Glide Ultra and Street Glide to go with the returning CVO Softail Deluxe and CVO Limited. Our own Evans Brasfield is currently in Sonoma, Calif., for Harley-Davidson’s 2015 press launch, and he’ll have full first ride reports later this week. For now, let’s take a look at the CVO models.
