Along with the Milwaukee-Eight engine unveiling, Harley-Davidson also announced other changes for the 2017 Touring models and the rest of the line up. Updates include reworked suspension and many other changes.
Here is the breakdown:
New touring suspension: All-new front and rear suspension components that Harley say will enhance the comfort, control and performance of all 2017 Harley-Davidson Touring models. New dual bending valve front suspension technology provides the performance of a racing-style cartridge fork with linear damping characteristics and reduced weight. New emulsion-technology rear shocks offer 15 to 30 per cent more pre-load adjustment than previous standard Touring shocks, with a single, hand-adjustable knob to hydraulically dial in pre-load.
Screamin’ Eagle Performance: This will offer a full selection of street-legal performance components for the Milwaukee-Eight engines, including engine stage kits that deliver up to a 24 per cent increase in torque over the stock engine (availability varies by market).
Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations: CVO models, Harley say, combine prestige and performance in three limited-edition factory-custom motorcycles for 2017. The CVO Limited and CVO Street Glide models feature the performance of the new engine, while the CVO Pro Street Breakout motorcycle is powered by the Screamin’ Eagle twin cam 110B air-cooled v-twin engine. The high output twin cam 103 standard for all 2017 Softail models and Dyna models (U.S. models only) except the Street.
Since all of these models are CBU imports, be rest assured that the Harleys headed to India will feature all of these updates.
