RE: 2009 problems
I'm still having problems with the electronic tracking device injected into the back of my neck when I bought the '09 FL-GOV-ID-STS-FU, I'm also having troubles getting past the plastic covers that keep me from doing any upgrades to the motor and exhaust, and the speeding tickets that are being sent every time the bike's ECM reports me in excess of 55 mph is starting to eat up my spare cash. Other than that, I'm okay with the mandated prison stripe colors of the bike, the radiator and the automatic transmission.

It's just a rumor but I heard they found some fixes for this year and they are going back to 2000 and upgrading all the bikes.

RE: 2009 problems
The new 129 inch triple counter balanced motor has potential although stock it dynos 56 hp to rear wheel. The main problem is the cast with engine exhaust system. Being made from hardenedsilicon tungsten carbideit is hard to modify without diamond tools.
The other problems concern the expoxy potted speedometer, instruments, ignition, and ecm module. Reverse engineering has been a diaster as if you cut any wire you kill all functions except the permanent 'fatal flaw' reading on the digital display.
Guys in the know say all is not lost though as a new $3100 SERT module makes 62 hp available at the rear wheel.
There is good news on the tire and wheel front. Spoke wheel options will now include green, red, blue, or traditional wheels with a choice of red or white wall tires.
Oh, and the Cow Glide will return.
