Glad you got it fixed, been following your story with interest - virtually exact same list as my bike, give or take. Hope it's ok from now on. Just been out for a ride with my brother. Despite the problems these are superb bikes - grin factor 10.......Ride safe

Yep. Same as my brothers too - check out the posts in the other 07 twin-cam engined forums/threads - there's a fewof them - Like I said before I'll get a met. lab. report, but on first examination the teeth on the ring gear have been hardened to too great a depth past the root. The teeth snap off "like cup handles" Just out of interest did you get to see the ring gear from yours? The teeth on mine were snapped off in two placesat exactly 180 degrees apart - I guess the motor always comes to rest in the same spot, or at least quite often. I guess the MOCO has done some sums and random/sporadic warranty replacement is cheaper than a recall - "good" business strategy but tough on some one who cops for it out of warranty or on a second hand bike.... Shame coz I love the bike and this took the shine off a bit, oh well it's fixed now! (hopefully!!!LOL)
take care
