That is what my neighbor is always bitching about with his 07 glide and my brother had the same issues with buying parts for his fatboy that was an 07.

09 was when they had all the big time changes.

Curious to what parts you can't get for a seven to eight year old mc?

I'd hold out for an 09 or newer as well. 200+ chassis changes alone, I think.
I'm curious where all this hard to find parts for 07 and under is coming from. Haven't had a single issue getting parts for my 06 but the only things I've gotten from an actual dealer have been exhaust gaskets. Everything else is after market.
