Default Running rough

I've had my 07 Streetglide since Aug, I have put up with the crap the dealer dishes out to
us long enough..
Every day I have to hear rocks in a can, get cooked by the insane lean BS, and now I have to put up with
this thing running like crap, vibrating like a dog pooping peach seeds...

It's embarassing, when it starts the rough running you have to rev the engine to take off or you get this
horrible noise that sounds like the crank comming out of the block...

There going to fix this POS or I'm buying a Goldwing...

What has your dealer done so far? How many miles on the bike? Is this your first HD? Need more info and maybe we can help.

Not getting worse, just adding to the list... I can't get past the having to spend more to make it run the way it should...
A 20+ thousand $ vehicle should not have so many issues... and then be passed off as "it's normal"
I bought a Harley to hear the pipes and all but MY Harley sounds like Pantera, ZZ Top, etc...

My glide has 6400 miles...
