This new location is the most awkward thing I have ever seen ...

I could put my key in under my right leg without even looking on the EVO... (and it was right next to the battery)

A Chuck Norris round house kick to the face to who ever came up with the new ignition location..

Other than that, I love my '07 Street Slob !!!
You are right the ignition key set up sucks and whoever aproved the design shoul be shot......Grind the nub off of the key and the problem is solved. The key is now removeable, quick fix and it is free.....

Hard for me to relate to this key-spitting thing.
Perhaps he meant that grinding the nub would allow you to ride keyless?
Yeah, it would... but why would anyone want to ...that's just asking to leave your ignition on ...It doesn't spit it out going down the road , just when it's in the off position...

and it encourages people to use that ridiculous kill switch thing up at the bars

But I see what you're saying.. although I hate sh*t in my pocket !!!

Yeah, the wideglide, softails and touring bikes don't really worry about a key..

I can't believe more of them aren't stolen.. I bet on any given night at least 80% of them aren't "locked"...

The 88incher is healthy enough and even better with a 95 kit plenty fast. The key on the neck sux I agree. The 06 Primary issues are solved with a Screamin Eagle Compensator and 07 Stator which I think all HDs need the SE compensator anyways. Follow that with an updated tensioner and a Baker IP bearing and the 06 is a killer machine. I also added the Screamn Eagle clutch spring which I felt necessary if any performance riding is in the future. Nothin but a little wrench time.

Default 06 Dyna issues

The 2006 main production model Dynas have the following issues:

1. Design flaw in that no alignment dowels in the inner primary case and transmission case which causes misalignment and repeated failure of the inner primary bearing.

2. 2 piece bolted together rotor where over time the screws back out and destroy the rotor & stator

3. Neutral switch recall.

4. Weak auto chain tensioner

I thought the real ones were pre 1984, but the wife got a 08 street bob fuel inj. 6 spd havn't had to work on it yet. The old shovel we ride it alot and fix it ... ride some more. These new ones are kinda boring, gas and go, so thats why I think every body is into changing things bc they don't have to work on them. PS that key thing does suck!!
