RE: 07 harleys
You'll be happy with the upgrade. Its not going to do anything drastically different, just give you a bit more power in the low to mid range and act a bit more refined overall.
The best way I can describe it like they used super lube on the throttle cables. The power seems to come on in a more linier fashion, without the little steps or jumps, like you can get from a sticking cable.
I never noticed anything "wrong" before. But I'm not the best guy to say because this is my first Harley, and I really don't have a decent reference to go from.
What's worse is that while I have had a MC ticket for over 35 years. Till now I haven't done a heck of a lot of riding.
I have put more miles on this bike in three months than all the bikes I have ridden since I sold my first bike back in the middle 70's.

Its not a true recall, more of a service upgrade, but if you want to see if your bike is on the list for it you can go to the HD web site, put your seial number in and it will tell you if its on the list for it. Or anything else that might be out there for it.
Here's the link to the service site;

You can get a copy of the actual bulletin in pdf format here,

BTW nice bike, love that color combo. Chrome and blue is always a good choice.

Damn, Citoriplus! Glad you got home ok, Brother!
Regarding the new tranny..............if gear whine is the complaint, I think that's a sign that your exhaust isn't loud enough!

Thanks for the recognition! I also want to thank Citoriplus for links..
The recall is for my bike too. I wonder if they can flash ecm for open exhaust at the same time and how much it would cost?

Not sure they can do a "flash" for the open pipes. I'm thinking that they probably only have "canned" setups. Your best bet might be to get a SERT or a PCIIIusb and use that after they do the bulletin update. But ask the guys at your local dealer, they may have something that would help, under the table as it were.

I havn't had any problems with my 07. I just got the Service Bulletin done the other night. It was a short ride back from the dealer but I agree with the other guys that it is smoother now.

RE: 07 harleys
I Can't be happier, had the mod done its smoother and the throttle response (before recall the only thing I was unhappy with) is better. I came out of a VTX 1800 tones of power but didn't handle nearly as nice as my Heritage. The other thing I am very pleased with is the six speed, it so nice on the highway when you make that switch into sixth gear.
