HARLEY-DAVIDSON MILWAUKEE-EIGHT ENGINE
ers offer 15 to 30 percent more
preload adjustment than previ-
ous standard touring shocks,
with a single knob to hydrauli-
cally adjust pre-load.
"Preload can now be adjusted
to match the load of rider, pas-
senger and gear without tools or
an air pump," said Paul James,
Harley-Davidson Director of
Motorcycle Product Planning.
"Once set, the preload will not
leak down or require further
adjustment."
Retaining the classic 45-de-
gree V-Twin cylinder angle, the
Milwaukee-Eight engine pro-
duces 10 percent more torque
than previous year models and
features four-valve cylinder
heads that offer 50 percent more
intake and exhaust flow capacity.
The Milwaukee-Eight engine is
counter-balanced to cancel 75
percent of primary vibration at
idle, retaining the feel of a Harley
V-Twin while being very smooth
at highway speeds. A new heat
management strategy for all Mil-
waukee-Eight engines improves
rider and passenger comfort.
Milwaukee-Eight engines are
offered in two displacements:
The Milwaukee-Eight 107 (107
CID, 1750cc) featuring oil-cooled
cylinder heads for the Street
Glide/Street Glide Special,
Road Glide/Road Glide Special,
Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Road
King and Freewheeler models;
the Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-
Eight 107 (107 CID, 1750cc) with
liquid-cooled cylinder heads for
the Ultra Limited/Ultra Limited
Low, Road Glide Ultra and Tri
Glide Ultra models; and the
Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight
114 (114 CID, 1870cc) with liquid-
cooled cylinder heads for the

Glide models.
