I saw one yesterday, heading southbound on I-11 towards Boulder City/Arizona as I was heading northbound back into the Vegas valley. It didn't look like it was a demo ride, but I could be wrong...

I believe you're right. Googling some pics, there's no reservoir and you can see the cable pull on the motor pics
Separately, anyone find the regulator/rectifier location idiotic for the theoretical purpose of the bike?
I really can't say if that's a big plus, or minus. But, the last cable bike I rode was over 20 years ago, and I prefer hydraulic. I equate their choice of the regulator location . . . . to Yamaha's choice of the oil filter location on the Tenere.
I like being able to adjust where a cable activated clutch releases.
The battery is also located near the regulator/rectifier under that "skid plate".

I also saw one in the Glen Oaks loop near Banning the other day. It looks to be a very uncomfortable bike. The handlebars are mounted odd and pulled way back and the foot pegs look like rear sets on a sport bike.

Maybe there is an "Ergonomics" upgrade pack ...

Maybe owners will need to or prefer to, fit risers of some description.
The side on pic in post #380 would suggest the pegs are far from rear sets.

Reg/rec is in the same position as my old Electraglide, which I agree doesn't seem ideal; still easy enough to move, as many owners of BMW F series twins have done to get their R/R somewhere cool.
Battery beneath the engine, very KTM, but needs good under-ride protection that only a stout sump guard provides. Personally I have no problem with a cable clutch, having endured issues with leaking slaves on my KTMs in the past.

Do many slaves leak?
I would've thought it rare...

Gotta believe you saw something else Chris. The Pan America has the foot pegs located directly below the front of the seat. The Super Tenere for comparison appears to have the foot pegs 1-2" further rearward than the PA:

Apparently HD has had enough problems with clutch master cylinders that several models (maybe all models) have gone back to a cable for the clutch. I know a fellow rider with a 2021 HD Road Glide with a cable. His previous Street Glide had a hydraulic clutch. He asked about the switch and was told HD had too many problems with the hydraulics. As for me, I prefer a hydraulic clutch.

that rectifier location is in the same place as the rectifier on the Tenere plus Tenere has an oil filter sticking out front ..... so what is the problem ?

That’s not the rectifier there on the Super Tenere, looks similar though at a glance. I’m pretty sure the rectifier is up behind the RHS fairing panel.

It’s something what ever it is
