The amount of folks who’ve had issues compared to the amount of these new engines sold is minuscule. I wouldn’t worry about it or let it deter me from buying one.

Agree, most M8's not having any problems. Ride the new LR and I bet you will have to buy it. Big changes from the Dyna LR but for the better IMHO.
