H-D's touring line is releasing early due to demand.
The touring bikes all have a 103" air cooled motor with an integrated oil cooler, automatic compression relief. The bikes equipped with lower fairings are now removeable, and there is an option for a tubeless spoked wheel. I haven't seen these in person yet, but I hope to next week.
I can't tell from the pictures that H-D has released exactly what these changes are. In typical H-D style, the new bikes look exactly like the old bikes.
