corner better, stop better, it's WAY smoother, and the susp is leaps & bounds better, the whole deal.
He is just not happy with the whirring, ticking, oil spewing motor.
The dealer says the noises are normal (??!!) and they are (trying) to address the oil blow by (coming out of the air cleaner/breathers etc)
In that regard, he regrets trading in his 103 TC. He did say the 107 has more torque out of the box.
Check out my thread on the same issue and how it was resolved by replacing the oil pump plate with the updated version with the seal attached instead of a separate o-ring. It's worth mentioning to the dealer working on your friend's bike. Apparently it's not a super wide spread issue in the new softails but apparently was a well known issue in the M8 touring bikes.

Mine hasn't had a drop of oil out of the breathers at all since they replaced the oil pump plate where as before it was puking out of the breathers so much that the bottom of my air cleaner would become saturated with oil and would drip all over the side of the bike and pipes.
