Default 2007 and 2008 Dyna changes ,

In my long awaited new Dyna Low I went to the dealers today to compare myself any new changes between the 2007 and 2008 Dynas Lows .
First as everyone noticed the Air cleaner cover is shaped differently .
Second thebrake line on the 08 is now braided versus the 07 metal line section .
Third the rear brake caliper is made a lttle different on the 08s , looks a little bigger .
Fourth the rear axle shaft looks bigger in diameter ,
Fith thing I noticed is the retaining bolts that are on the 07 rear shocks are now cap nuts on the 08s,
And another thing I noticed is the front axle is hollow on the end of the 08s.
I,m sure everything on the 07 are fine but I just took a closer look to comparing the 2 years .
I have 3 colors to choose from on the 07 left overs at this dealer .
Blue , Black or Silver .
I liked the black on the net but after really looking at it in person the Blue really stands out and shows off the chrome nicley .
Only descition I have to make is do I get the 2007 Dyna Low Rider with and extra year warranty for $14190. out the door plus taxes or ...
Wait and get the 2008 Dyna Custom and the standard 2 tear warranty for abought the same price after adding the dock and shipping fees?? I would put different bars and or risers on the Custom because I like the feal of the low rider bars better ..
What would you do ?????[:-][][&o]

I heard somewhere that the gearbox output shaft and the inner primary bearing had changed.

Anyone confirm?

All I know is that I'm happy I got my 2007 Low Rider in the custom color ( see below) I wanted. If you like the feel of the Low Rider, then that's the one to get. Why start messing aroundchanging this and that....if you dont need to, unless it's to chrome it to death. I would suggest engine guards though. Will save you $$$ in the long run, if you ever drop it like I did the second time I rode it.

I saw that color combo at the dealer yesterday.
I never thought I'd say this about a green bike but that thing is sharp! I love that bright / dark green combo.

Yup...the biggest jugs...I mean, the one YOU like best! When you say "Dyna Custom", what are you talking about?...the Super Glide Custom? How tall are you? Weight?
