Default 07 - 08 NT differences

I have been offered a great deal on a 2007 Night Train, I need some help as I did a search and couldnt find any real answers but is there any GREAT difference between a 2007 NT and a 2008 model.
The 2007 is a brand new bike that hasnt sold so the dealer wants it out of the door.
Thanks
Rick

Nothing GREAT

In 08 they made the rear tire tread match the front tire tread.

I thought they had an overheating problem with the 07 96" motors and fixed it in the 08 models, i'm not real sure about it but you can google it.

i believe the 08's are drive by wire........

Also I am pretty sure the harley dealer can fix that overheating (it's not really overheating , just uncomfortable for the rider) with a PROM flash.....

There isn't any big differences between the two. The drive by wire is on the 08 touring models not the Night Train. Take the deal.

I was stuck in stop and go traffic two days ago for about 30minutes and it was getting very hot on my right leg just sitting there. Is that in line with the overheating problem on the '07s? Just got my '07 a couple weeks ago.

There is no issue with overheating 07s. I repeat... NO issues.

THE NEWER BIKES RUN HOTTER THAN BEFORE DUE TO TIGHT EMISSION REGULATIONS. THE BIKE WILL NOT MELT INTO A POOL OF LIQUID ALUMINUM. ITS SUPPOSED TO RUN THAT HOT.

Adding more fuel / proper tune will richen up your mixture which brings engine temps down which brings along better performance.
