Thanks everyone. I spoke to the dealer and it was agreed that the bike will be inspected (I pay). I'll update here soonest.

I currently ride a Boss Hoss V8 Big Block 8.2 litre, a modified Suzuki M109R and my wife has a Breakout and then of course the Fatboy. I'll post some pics soon. Regards.

MY Evo is "better than the Twin Cam they turn out now". Sorry yours wasn't.

During all the time that I've spent researching things, I have found these two things to be true. No matter how much you research you will find those that have had problems and those that haven't had any problems. Personally, just ride the dang thing and don't worry so much and just take life the way it comes and enjoy it.

It's like the old customer service motto, "A happy customer tells a friend, an unhappy customer tells 100."

Come on now.

Your wife has ten years experience with HD and you come on a forum and ask total strangers what they think?

What does she have to say?
