NEW ON TOURING MODELS FOR 2008
New Brembo Brakes with available Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): New
high-performance Brembo brakes and a factory-installed ABS option are
available on all 2008 Touring models. Incorporating the latest in braking
technology, the new Harley-Davidson Brembo brakes offer consistent braking
and stopping power under all operating conditions. Besides improved brake
performance and feel, the Touring motorcycles retain their distinctive
Harley-Davidson style. This world class braking system comes to the Touring
line with proven capability directly from the VRSC line of performance
custom motorcycles. The all-new ABS feature is designed to help the rider
maintain control during emergency stopping situations, especially those that
happen in less-than-ideal conditions. The components of the Harley-Davidson
ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving
the uncluttered styling of the area around the wheels. Unlike many
motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual, independent system, meaning
the rider maintains control of how much of each brake is applied..
Larger Fuel Tank: Fuel capacity of all Touring models is increased by 20
percent, from five to six gallons. Combined with the 6-speed Cruise Drive
transmission, the larger tank gives Touring models more range than ever
before. The new tank also features new console styling with a new fuel range
indicator, and also enabled the seat to be reshaped for more comfort.
Electronic Throttle Control: A new Electronic Throttle Control replaces
mechanical cables on all Touring models. All wiring from the throttle-grip
sensor is routed through the handlebars. The ETC enables the easy upgrade to
a new cruise control system, and provides a clean custom look in the
handlebar area.
Factory-Option Cruise Control: Available for all models that do not come
equipped with cruise control as standard equipment, this new cruise control
is offered at a lower price than the previous accessory cruise control
system.
Isolated Drive System: Located in the rear sprocket, the Isolated Drive
System improves ride quality under accelerations, shifting and cruising
while reducing noise and vibration to the rider.
Adjustable Fairing-Mounted Wind Deflectors: The Ultra Classic Electra Glide
model has standard adjustable fairing-mounted wind deflectors that improve
ride comfort by allowing the rider to direct oncoming wind flow. The wind
deflectors can be added to Electra Glide Standard, Street Glide and Electric
Glide Classic models through Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories.
