RE: "08" Issues??
My 08 road King has a rear brake squealing issue and has been to the dealer three times. Don't plan on changing the handle bars or adding aftermarket exhaust for a while as thereare not any aftermarket parts available.

rmouse, thanks for the heads up. I'm not doing much yet, though I am having Rush slip ons put on before delivery. I heard with the cableless throttle there are no grips available yet due to needing a gear in the grip. We'll keep checking back as more things come up.

Thanks gunrunner, and you are sure they are for the cableless throttle. Not all 08's are cableless. If indeed so thanks!!

I was told by dealer the only grips that would fit my fly-by-wire (at this time) were the Contour Grips, which is what I went with. I'm sure the after makets will catch up.

Yea, everybody is entitled to their opinion. To me black is bland. You must be one of those guys that has to make up for other issues in going for the manly black and only black. Don't get me wrong, certain scoots look great with the right black and chrome combo but that bat wing, plastic mirrors and all blacked out looks like cr_p. Again, everyone's opinion.

RE: "08" Issues??
Had my '08 Ultra for about three weeks now, Candy Sunglo Red.....always wanted a go at a redhead......anyway...I havea HUGEissue with mine. I drive it to work, only about 18 miles, and it sits there for like 8 hours, just sitting, not moving, with me working. This really pisses me off!!! I try to compensate by taking longer routes home.....took me an hour and a half the other day for what should have been a 20 minute straight shot. My better half wondered where the hell I was. If I keep it up, she's gonna really think I'm out with aredhead or someone!!![sm=wootwoot.gif]
