07 bagger frame issue?
I was in aVetesnik Motor Sports, Richland Center, WI(looking at boats!), and during motorcycle talk, Had the owners wife asked me how bad the frame problem was on the HD 07 baggers.
I have heard nothing about any frame problem. Has anyone?

RE: 07 bagger frame issue?
She might have been referring to an article that appeared in Hot Bike during the last few months stating that all of the engine size increase and the extra HP& Tqwe put into our bikes that the torque may be getting to great for the frames HD is building (frame hasn't changed much over the years). If you read the whole article by the end you would have to build a 200HP / 200tq monster by the time you would be able to rip the frame apart.

The frame issue was one of many reasons I traded my Wing in for an Ultra.

RE: 07 bagger frame issue?
Agree. I've heard of no issues with the frame. In fact, mine is very stable while healed over in a curve. Much better than the 96' Road King I owned then. That said, my bike is left in completely stock form.

She's probably referring to the much controversial occurrence know as the high speed wobble. which is the reason the CHP now uses BMW, because Harley would not acknowledge the problem... I installed the tru trac on mind and it works great..
