RE: '07's getting a bad rap?
With the long trip I took in August, I now have 11,000 miles on my 07 deluxe and not major issues other than I was unhappy with the performance compared to my 04 Lowrider. I did install V&H Long Shots, SERT, AC and had it dyno and now am very happy. I gained 5.85 more HP and 11.75 fp of torque.

I'm confused . are you disagreeing that most folks are agreeing , or are you agreeing with lots of folk that are disagreeing . .....
Here's an idea , lets start a thread about whether 08's are getting a bad rap .

8800 miles on my 07 FLSTC. Stealer did the 1000mi service, syn3 in all 3 holes. I had the battery box recall done at 2280mi. Tranny whined in 5th, so I followed much advice from this forum and went with 20w50 synthetic in the crank, 10w40 synthetic in the primary and 85w140 synthetic in the tranny(the brand doesn't matter) at 5000mi. A wire short at the battery box left me stranded in Knoxville TN at 5800mi. I blamed my local dealer for this (to no avail).
Other than the wire short and the 5th gear whine(which is gone), I'm very happy. I just need more cash for more goodies!!!!!!

No problems at all.
Distance travelled so far on my '07 Fb: 8,000 kms (that's 5,00 miles).
Wouldn't change a thing - except for header/pipes, air filter, engine management (PC111), seat, hand grips, floor boards, rear pegs,switch gear &braided lines etc etc etc (something to do with my bling parasite disorder).
If I wanted perfect, I would have bought a Honda Accord, thank God for Harley character.
All's well that ends well

RE: '07's getting a bad rap?
My 07 Fat Boy hasn't had any major problems yet 18000 miles, abnormal front tire wear, probably from the oddly offset front wheel, Harley fixed this for 08, I just got my hands on an 08 front wheel, and I am putting on a set of 08 chrome lower fork sliders, this should solve the problem, and fix the unsightly offset front fender and that stupid recall (notched upper fork sliders). Loose battery terminal, flat tire, thats about it.
I put on a Stage one kit ,V&H Big Radius pipes, S.E.R.T., lucas synthetic oil. runs great.
