Default 2008 Wide Glides

Know everybody has heard the 2007 was the last year for the Wide Glide. In 2008 they are going to make the Wide Glide in a 105th BiCentenial model only. I hear after 2008 no more wide glides.
I also have been hearing for a month of so the 2008 bikes are going to be Drive by Wire. Meaning No cables for the gas and everything. This will make the bike better for EPA standards.
I'm glad I got a 2007 model Wide Glide.

From what I've read, only the Touring Models will have "Drive by Wire Throttle" in 2008.

Drive by wire? And, it's not the wire down the middle of the throttle cable? Think I'll be keeping my '07 for a very long time.

just the touring has electric throttle control.

until next July, NOBODY will know ANYTHING about what THE MOCO WILL DO.

good grief, lets hold off on these threads until at least the end of next June.
