I was just reading the thread about Harley quality. A point was brought up that is brought up often during these threads about problems. People who are having problems tend to voice their concerns more than those who are not. I have an 06, so I am gonna stay out of this, but if you have an 07 and are happy with it, let us know why. If you aren't happy with it, please don't hijack the thread. You can always go post on another thread. If you love your 07, sound off. A lot of people come to this forum looking for opinions on our experiences with our rides. I just want to throw this out there so that they will have a place to look at the positive aspects without having to sift through all of the dirty laundry. Enjoy.
OK, love my 07 883R. Have dumped a few hundred bucks into it, seat, highway pegs, new grips etc. Not 1 drip, killer performance and rideablitiy, 5K miles on it already. Bought some cold weather gear and ride to work everyday that's not raining, 120 miles a day!
Good to go on my '07 EG Standard. Just hit the 1900 mark after 5 weeks of ownership. I guess I got lucky and didn't get the tranny problem. Still working on eliminating the heat issue on the rear pipe by changing maps on the PCIII. Bike runs stronger than my 88CI Wideglide and I love the six speed. I will get a custom map eventually and it should run even stronger! Glad that I made the move and having fun adding the chrome do-dads.
I'm absolutely THRILLED with my '07 Road King Classic. Best bike I have ever owned. Brings a grin to my face everytime I ride it, polish it, or add yet another piece of chrome. [sm=happybounce.gif]

Dgator,
To answer your question just the way you asked it.... Yes, very happy.
Why?... cause somewhere in the Moco's office bldg. they have an old biker on the staff (leathery, fried on one side, hard-*** attitude, stoked on sounds, chrome, fumes, likes wimmin, hates commies, kinder than he looks, tryin to make ends meet, has freekin-eekin seen it all!, .... and that old coot is making the Moco keep it Harley!
If he ever dies or they do something to hack him off... they're in deep doo-doo.
