A guy that used to ride with us rode a 2017 roadglide with the 107. He had alot of issues with the engine and the bike. I cant remember all of the details or issues, but do remember sitting on the side of the road with him more than once. He was riding the newest bike in the group at the time. There were evos, tc88s, tc96s and tc103s riding with us at the time. The 2 that had problems were always the twin cam 96 and the 107. He eventually sold the bike and quit riding all together. I remember him saying, never, ever, buy a 107, and I'd always chime in, "or an ugly bike". It was all in fun. I now ride a 2015 ultra with 103HO air cooled engine and so far no issues. It has been decatted and doesnt get hot. I bought it last year with 6,800 miles on it for about $15k. Handlebar change was easy. Used, low mileage, garage queen bikes are out there but you have to be patient and find them.

107 in a RG is the same as the 107 in a SG.

I believe the last bike on the left end of the second row is a batwing fairing..... actually, the last two bikes.......

I'll let them discover that (or not) in their own way.

Ha, don't even have a desktop computer.... everything is done on my 15" Mac Book Pro..

I was just admiring the pic, and for some reason that last one on the left caught my eye... When I zoomed in, I saw the second one...

I just HAD to mention them...

I’m guessing he didn’t spot the Vespa and two BMW’s either
