July of 07'.

I wouldn't expect any major changes except for color options.

ewwww.... Throttle by wire? That would suck. I have that on one of my cars and I hate it. Give me an old fashioned cable with some feedback anyday.

Hopefully one of the improvements is they get rid of the ugly @$$ tank decals they put on the fatboys this year. Everytime I see one I am happier I have an 06.

The 08s are going to have water cooled V8s with air bags. Your just going to have to trust me on this. Oh and the check is in the mail.

I would be surprised if they made any major changes for the 08s after what they did with the 07s. I think it will be colour changs which they need a lot of help with and some minor tweaking.

I am with you as far as waiting for the 08's. The 07 colors were disappointing to me. There are lots of happy 07 owners, butthere is just enough complaining from 07 owners to make me want to wait. I am fine on my 05 for now. Ride safe.
