RE: How reliable is your Dyna?
ok fellas .. new to this forum and the question here really prompted me to register !..2007 super glide here,almost8,000 miles since september. i love it , however: ..i used roadside assistance for the 4th time this week ... looks like a 3rd broken motor mount, or frame?...also , 2 weeks ago i had the inner primary bearing replaced .. before that the clutch and starter had to be replaced ..the first problem was with the kickstand installed improperly but at least that didn't depoly while riding . also presently having problems with it idling occasioanally .. BUT its still my favorite bike ... i traded my first harley , an 05, because i had bad luck with that one and figured i'd be better with the 07..the motor was a big improvement i though and was even glad i made the trade ... i just wish there were a lemon law in pa.!!..just picked up a slightly used moto guzzi and am thinking about ditching harley completly even though i really like the dyna... just not lucky here with harley i suppose...

OH yeah, I have 12k miles and not 1 problem although my primary drain plug likes to leak! Next oil change I'll put some of that plumbers tape on the threads of the plug, that a fix er!

I have RoadSide Assistance, but haven't needed it. Only problem I've had is a slight gasket leak in the primary. Harley warranty covered replacement of all gaskets and work was completed in one day. So far, very happy with my '05 FXD.

RE: How reliable is your Dyna?
I have a 07 SB that I picked up new on 4-24-07.
It has been serviced on its 1000 and 2500 mile service at the dealer.
Sunday 6-7AM after a short ride the engine light came on and stayed on
and the motor seemed like it was running on 1 cylinder?
The dealer came and got it on Monday 6-8 AM.
I called late today 6-9 and was told they will try to get to it later this week.
This is the nightmare I was hoping not to have when I made the switch
from Metrics to a Harley. I love my SB, I also love to ride.
Why me?
