Features and Benefits
Project RUSHMORE - Engine
As every rider knows, the engine is at the heartof the experience of riding a motorcycle. The amount of torque and horsepower itdelivers over the RPM range is in direct proportion to the feeling it gives youwhen you roll on the throttle. We know what riders want from a motorcycle enginebecause we’ve been building them for 110 years. Project RUSHMORE gave us theopportunity to dial it in just right. We conducted thousands of road tests withreal riders giving us feedback to build the next iteration of the legendaryHarley-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 thefeeling we ride a motorcycle for. So we built the engines that deliver it. We’reproud to unveil the next level of Harley-Davidson® V-Twin engine. And prove onceand for all, the customer is always right.
Pure Harley-Davidson StylingFeast your eyes on the Twin Cam 103™ engine andthere's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style throughand through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcyclecompany. Black powder-coated cylinders and cylinder heads with machined coolingfin tips are topped off with chrome rocker covers, while chrome pushrodshighlight the iconic V-Twin. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Drippingwith power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines ofcases and covers—the Twin Cam 103™ engine makes an ironclad statement to holdingon to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.
Six-Speed Cruise Drive® TransmissionYou want a ride that rumbles—not begs formercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmissionprovides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so youget a better match between engine turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride whena bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're openingup the road ahead.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine HeritageThe knowledge of what makes an engine truly movea rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when wecreated the Twin Cam 103™ engine. We worked to perfect every cubic inch, pushingdesign and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit ofHarley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of theFlathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution®, Twin Cam 88® and TwinCam 96™ engines that came before. The performance and durability are a directresult of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proudheritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two (orthree) wheels.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine InnovationFire up the air-cooled, rubber-mounted Twin Cam103™ engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed for a smooth ride. Thanks tothe lightweight piston design, delivery of the added power is more refined thanever. Then put your foot on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-SpeedCruise Drive® transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds. A strongdriveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruisingrpm couldn't feel better.
Twin-Cooled High Output Twin Cam 103® EngineIf you started in 1909 with the very firstHarley-Davidson V-Twin engine and worked your way up through every engine, everyinnovation, every improvement, every ride, every durability test in all thoseyears and countless miles since, you arrive at the Twin Cooled High Output TwinCam 103™ engine. This is the top of the line. 103 cubic inches of air andprecision cooled Harley-Davidson® power. Twin cooling cools the heads around theexhaust ports to deliver at or near peak performance under all operatingconditions and temperatures. Higher compression ratio increases efficiency andhorsepower. There’s a new airbox for increased airflow and a new cam to optimizelow-end torque. It’s got the fastest 60 to 80 mph 5th gear roll on in thehistory of Harley-Davidson. Which means it’s got the most passing power in thehistory of Harley-Davidson. On top of all that, it puts less heat on the riderand passenger on scorching days and in stop and go traffic.

Project RUSHMORE - Confidence
Here are some of the innovations Project RUSHMOREled to: New linked brakes, new dual halogen and LED headlamps and fog lamps,brighter Tour-Pak® luggage carrier lighting, and a new steering head withstiffer front forks. We’ve made it feel even better to lean your way through aturn. Now you can see better. And we’ve made you more conspicuous to thecage-driving public. Because one thing we all agree on is this: Bikes that workbetter make riders who ride better. Take a ride. See how good you can be.
New Steering Head and Front ForksWhether it’s a big sweeping curve or a set oftight turns, getting through the corners just got better. We stiffened up thefront end, increased the fork diameter to 49mm and added new steel ballbearings, with lubricant contained inside to keep contaminants out fordurability. The responsiveness is dialed in. Plus a steering damper controlsfeedback from the road. So when you're out with your bagger buddies, you'll stayright at the front of the pack
Three-Wheel Frame DesignTrikes are bound to ride a little differentlythan two-wheeled machines. But when they're done right, they have a joy of theirown. Harley-Davidson uses legendary engineering and ride dynamics to keep youcomfortable and connected to the road. This three-wheeled pioneer is built fromthe ground up for maximum handling. The frame and chassis structure isengineered to specifically handle the steering forces and weight of athree-wheel vehicle. And we defy you find a more comfortable ride on the touringcircuit—from two to four to eighteen wheels.

Daymaker™ LED Headlamp and LED Fog Lamps
For those who regard darkness as an invitation togo farther, the Daymaker™ LED headlight with LED fog lamps will light the way.With 2,136 powerful, daylight-simulating lumens that bathe the dark road innatural light, a shoulder-to-shoulder spread of 160 feet and a 450-foot punch,the night is yours to take with full confidence. Because not all of us look foran exit when day turns to night.
New Ergonomically Designed Hand ControlsIt’s hard to enjoy the ride or keep your eyesfocused on what’s coming down the road when you’re fussing and bothering withthe switches on your handlebar. So we’ve worked over the hand controls on ournew touring bikes with as much passion as we’ve worked over our new engine. Wemade the shape more ergonomic and located and angled them to fall right underyour thumbs. We’ve added left-hand cruise for easy activation, new toggleswitches to control infotainment functions, an easily locatable trigger switchto control and scan through functional readouts. And we’ve improved the feel togive you a confidence-inspiring click at every push of a button. Even the dashpanel switch gets better. And it’s all prewired for parts and accessories, whicheven lets you customize with less fuss and bother.
New Rear to Front Linked BrakesNo doubt about it, there are times riding whenyou need to haul things down in a hurry. That’s why the Tri Glide® Ultra® modelcomes standard with rear to front linked brakes. When the rear brake is appliedthe system also applies the front brake for maximum stopping power. However, thefront brake is independent so you can use it without applying and brake to therear. No matter how good you are, this will make you a better rider.
Seamless Styling and Matching Paint
This three-wheeled pioneer is designed, developedand tested to the highest standards of the Motor Company and backed by over ahundred years of touring mastery. This is not a bolt-on, aftermarket Trike kit.It's engineered and road-tested as a whole. Every inch is integrated forcomfort, cargo and confidence. From the smooth, classically designed lines tothe front-to-rear matching paint, the Tri Glide® Ultra Classic® model has thebloodlines of a true Harley-Davidson® motorcycle through and through.
17" Impeller® Front Wheel With New Brake RotorSitting out front on the Tri Glide® Ultra® model,you’ll notice a 17-inch cast aluminum, 10-spoke Impeller wheel. In the backyou’ve got a couple of 16-inch Impeller wheels to match. There are new brakerotors designed to show off more of the premium custom look of the wheels.Because if you’re going to go this far, you might as well take it all the way.
New Inner Fairing DesignPut your eye to the inner fairing of the TriGlide® Ultra® model and you’ll see a whole new layout to greet the eye. There’sa bigger display screen (see the whole story in the infotainment section). Thegauges have been given a new treatment, too. You’ll notice a 10 percent largerviewing area, wider, taller numbers sitting on top of that classic blackbackground. The information gets bigger and better too. There’s a gear indicatorfor all six gears and the display area, which can now be operated by anextremely convenient trigger switch, puts more information at your fingertips.The temperature and fuel gauge are larger too. When you’re on the road, onequick glance tells you everything you need to know.
New Tank and Fender BadgesThis isn’t just a motorcycle. It’s a work of art,born out of passion, creativity and long days, late nights and refusing to besatisfied until every detail was perfect. When we added the signature badges, wedid it with metal. Nothing else would be right on this masterpiece.
New AirboxOur design philosophy can be summed up prettysimple: form follows function, but both report to emotion. This new airbox is aprime example of that. It’s the most functional airbox we’ve ever put on aHarley-Davidson® touring bike. It let’s the engine breathe better for morepower, but it’s also designed to provide better airflow around the rider.Emotion? That’s the part you feel when you look at it sitting right at thecenter of your V-Twin engine.
Bullet Turn Signals
We went end to end and top to bottom to give the2014 Harley-Davidson® touring line-up the clean, tight, sharp, iconic look andfeel that is only befitting of the next generation of our motorcycles. Thefinishing touch – bullet turn signals. Sleek and modern, yet a timeless classic.
Project RUSHMORE - ComfortWe dialed in the comfort of our machines the hardway: over thousands of miles in all kinds of riding conditions on every kind ofstreet, road and highway ever laid down in pavement. Experienced riders andpassengers putting in long hours in the saddle and giving us feedback on everyaspect that contributes to comfort on the road. Airflow, heat management,passenger space, back rests, seat textures, leg room and hand controls all wentunder the hard microscope of the road and got tested and re-tested by realriders and worked and re-worked by us until we were satisfied we had built themost comfortable machines on the road. We all want to go farther, and when youand your passenger are more comfortable in the saddle, you can.
Full-Length Footboards & Toe/Heel Gear ShiftsYour boots were made for riding—any way you seefit. Our full-length footboards boast a time-tested, tried-and-true design andrubber isolation for a comfortable ride, while the height-adjustable passengerboards add another level of customizable comfort for your riding partner. Andfor shifting gears, you can use either the traditional toe-shift or the eveneasier, more convenient heel-shift. It might take a few rides, but once you'vegotten used to the smooth shifting rhythm, you'll never give it up.
Mid-Frame Air DeflectorsDesigned and tested to deflect heat generatedfrom the V-Twin, the mid-frame air deflectors are enlisted for duty on everyride, especially the hotter days. These low-profile black deflectors are mountedto the frame of the Tri Glide® Ultra Classic® model just below the seat, andmove the heat away from your legs and body. Summer rides just got morecomfortable.
Wide Set HandlebarClassic style and maximum comfort. That's theperfect balance of the wide set handlebars that come standard on the Tri Glide®Ultra model. They're designed to keep you comfortably propped in a commandingposition while making sure your neck muscles stay calm and relaxed mile aftermile, state after state. Durable stainless steel insures the structural rigidityyou expect from a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle with the deep, lustrous finish youdesire.
New Fairing Design Reduces Head Buffeting
This is what the science of cheating the windinvolves at Harley-Davidson now: Fluid mechanics, algorithms, high-speed supercomputers and thousands upon thousands of wind-tunnel tests with riders in thesaddle telling us how it feels. And that’s before we take it out on the road forthousands of miles of real world wind gusts and every form of rain a cloud canspit out. The result: a brand new take on the classic Batwing fairing thatdelivers smoother air flow and reduced head buffeting. Most of it thanks to thepressure-equalizing duct on the front. It opens and closes with one touch of abutton. The feeling of being in the wind just got even better.
Newly Designed Back and Arm RestsIf you really want to know what makes a passengercomfortable, you start by asking people who’ve seen a good part of the worldfrom the back of a bike. You run thousands of miles of road tests in heat, cold,sun, and rain. You use their input to perfect the height, the width, the shape,the contour, the texture of the leather, the lumbar support. You installcontrols that can be easily reached and operated with one hand. What you end upwith is the back and arm rests you’re looking at right here. Passengers lovethem like they’re their own babies, because in a manner of speaking, they are.
Standard Cruise ControlInstalling cruise control is standard operatingprocedure on the new touring models because riding long stretches of unbrokenhighway is standard operating procedure among touring riders. Electronicthrottle control means no cable cluttering up your handlebar. And the switchesare placed where you can easily dial in your speed with your left thumb, givethe wrist a break, and keep hauling on down the road.
Project RUSHMORE - Convenience
If you want the ride to be truly epic, you haveto sweat bullets to make the little things work exactly right. This is whatProject RUSHMORE was all about. Now you have saddlebags and Tour-Pak® luggagecarriers that can be easily opened with one hand. Compartments that open withone touch. And we’ve increased the storage space on these new machines withoutruining the sleek, road-eating look of the bike. It all adds up to hundreds oflittle moments where things just click conveniently into place. Because therecan be no imperfections in the quest for the perfect ride.
Trunk and King Tour-Pak® StorageWith a total cargo capacity of 6.7 cubic feet andup to 80 pounds, the Tri-Glide Ultra model puts the "haul" in long haul. Theintegrated trunk offers 4.4 cubic feet and 50 pounds of storage capacity, whilethe waterproof, injection-molded Tour-Pak® luggage carrier keeps things classyand neat with soft woven-nylon luggage liner and plenty of storage pockets.

Casein point: this electric reverse puts convenient control at your fingertips, forconfident, easy movement for parking, loading, close-quarters maneuvering, orany situation where only going one way is not an option.
One Touch Design PhilosophyHere’s the rule we laid down for everycompartment cover and saddlebag lid on our touring line: if it doesn’t open withthe single touch of a button or one hand, while wearing gloves, it doesn’t go onthe motorcycle. Because in all our conversations with all the riders we talkedto over the eight years we were rebuilding these motorcycles from the ground up,we didn’t encounter a single individual who wanted to have to put something onthe ground before he could store it in a saddlebag.
New Tour-Pak® DesignThe new Tour-Pak® luggage carrier sports asleeker new look, but it didn’t come at the expense of storage space. They’rebigger inside than ever and can easily accommodate two full face helmets.There’s a new document and toolkit pouch. The lock is integrated into the latchto keep your key away from your premium paint. And new premium hinges that workbetter and look sharper. You can operate the single latch with one hand.Storage. Check. We have it covered.
Push Button Fuel DoorOne button, one touch, fuel door open. Anyquestions?
Foot-Operated Parking BrakeThe new parking brake on the Tri Glide® Ultra®model couldn’t be any simpler to find or operate. It’s right there by your leftfoot. When you want lock in, you push it down. When it’s time to take off again,you give it another push. And a light has been added to the gauges to alert youwhen your parking brake is engaged.
New Standard Battery Charging HarnessNo question a battery charging harness is a musthave on a motorcycle. Now it’s standard. So you don’t have to waste even the tenminutes it takes to install one on some sunny Saturday when you could be riding
