2014 Harley-Davidson FLHXS Street Glide Special
When it comes to stripped down bagger style , highway comfort, usable technology and an unruly attitude, this is the new state of the art...
Enhanced by Project RUSHMORE, the new- for-2014 Street Glide® Special takes the hot-rod bagger formula a little further, adding a Gloss Black inner fairing, Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS, the Boom!™ Box 6.5 GT infotainment system and CVO™-style hand-adjustable lowered rear suspension as standard equipment. Powered by the new High Output Twin Cam 103™ engine and featuring a new Batwing fairing with Splitstream vent to reduce rider head buffeting, the Street Glide® Special is truly loaded bagger.
The innovative Harley-Davidson® Touring chassis, based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame and a stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and todays more-powerful engines.
2014 Harley-Davidson FLHXS Street Glide Special Total Motorcycle Features and Benefits
Project RUSHMORE - Engine
As every rider knows, the engine is at the heart of the experience of riding a motorcycle. The amount of torque and horsepower it delivers over the RPM range is in direct proportion to the feeling it gives you when you roll on the throttle. We know what riders want from a motorcycle engine because we’ve been building them for 110 years. Project RUSHMORE gave us the opportunity to dial it in just right. We conducted thousands of road tests with real riders giving us feedback to build the next iteration of the legendary Harley-Davidson® engine. The consensus was: We want more. More low-end torque, more passing power, more perfection in the tone of the exhaust note, more of the feeling we ride a motorcycle for. So we built the engines that deliver it. We’re proud to unveil the next level of Harley-Davidson® V-Twin engine. And prove once and for all, the customer is always right.
Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103® Engine
If you started in 1909 with the very first Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine and worked your way up through every engine, every innovation, every improvement, every ride, every durability test in all those years and countless miles since, you arrive at the Twin Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103™ engine. This is the top of the line. 103 cubic inches of air and precision cooled Harley-Davidson® V-twin power. Twin cooling cools the heads around the exhaust ports to deliver at or near peak performance under all operating conditions and temperatures. Higher compression ratio increases efficiency and horsepower. There’s a new airbox for increased airflow and a new cam to optimize low-end torque. It’s got the fastest 60 to 80 mph 5th gear roll on in the history of Harley-Davidson. Which means it’s got the most passing power in the history of Harley-Davidson. On top of all that, it puts less heat on the rider and passenger on scorching days and in stop and go traffic

Re: This week: 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Spc: Vote T
The above was my initial guess, but I maybe off (see page 2 of this topic) as I (still) can't find where the radiator is on this model.At first glance, even I missed where the water cooling was, but it's the "engine crash guards" that are the water cooling tubes! Now, that will be horrible in a crash (imagine scorching hot liquid being pumped all over your legs/you). But it's an interesting and unique idea, almost Buell like!
Water Cooled Harley-Davidson 103 High Output Engine: The Twin-Cooled High Output 103 offers 10.7 percent more peak torque than the standard Twin Cam 103 engine.

Re: This week: 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Spc: Vote T
I voted "cool". Interesting way to partially water cool the motor, but I'd like to see how the long term reliability holds up. I'm still waiting for a proper, fully water cooled motor in aRoad glide chassis, so I see these 2014's as a tempting glimpse of what will hopefully be coming soon.
And Mike, if you get into an accident bad enough to rip the crash guards off, I think you'd have more problems than just hot water spills to worry about.

Re: This week: 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Spc: Vote T
I went with uncool, apart from the partially water cooled engine part, it's really just more of the same. When the motor company released the V-Rod, I briefly thought maybe they might start doing something new and innovative with their product line, but no, all we are getting from them is basically variations of the same old tired and oft copied theme.
Always ask why.

Well, judging by the bike in the pictures they deserve an AWESOME for making the radiators transparent. Is it just me or are the radiators missing completely from the bike in the picture???

Re: This week: 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Spc: Vote T
Okay, I'm trying to figure this thing out. The press notes say it's twin cooled, but it doesn't have radiators like the Electra Glides. (Even the technical illustration posted shows these radiator pods).High_Side wrote:Well, judging by the bike in the pictures they deserve an AWESOME for making the radiators transparent.

Re: This week: 2014 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Spc: Vote T
The radiator shrouds on the Electra Glides (Even the technical illustration posted shows these radiator pods) contain a fan, now I'm guessing here, but the fan could be there because not enough air flow is making it to the pipes (engine guards). And I'm only guessing it has to be the engine guards because I don't see anything else attached to the engine to bring the coolant down to any radiator and the tech diagram shows the coolant pipes that match the "engine guards"... Maybe they are just engine guards and they are on ALL the new tourers and not the coolant pipes... but if so, where is the coolant pipes?Grey Thumper wrote:Okay, I'm trying to figure this thing out.

Same cooled engine, but it is either so well hidden or there isn't water cooling on the Street Glide versions.
