RE: Changes on Ultra 07 to 08?

It was said to me that the cams now have bushings in place of berrings the only down side that I know of other than that all the changes seem solid and I can tell you if I had a choice between a 07 & 08 the 08 takes it hands down I have been on a 08 and realy think it is a great improvement on earlyer models. I also was told that there were like 118 changes 07-08 and next year something crazy like 354 changes?Dont know of what exactlybut a good friend(that I trust) was talking to people@ kury and they implied that that is the # of changes for next year butdid not get into why the # of changes were so many.

RE: Changes on Ultra 07 to 08?

I had an '07 but was too dumb to know it
That the azz whippin I took to trade up would hurt like ****

My money's all gone and my nuts are still roasting
But I come here each day, bash the '07 with boasting

The $200 dollars I could have spent to rid the noise
Would have saved aton of money, and I'd still have my "boys"!

I turn a deaf ear to the same little noises
Spew crap by the tons, because of my stoopid choices.

Thesamebike that plagued me sits between my legs
In the place where my nuts were, GIVE 'EM BACK I BEGS!!!!!

I dont have any experience with an UG pre -08. But, this particular 08 is a fantastic bike. Please be kind to the 07 jockeys for they are good people.

Another difference I noticed. There appears to be a new engine mount in front of the front cylinder, attached to the frame. Anyone want to name it?

The only difference I noticed is the 07 is more mature than the younger 08' Older is better...lol

It's not a new mount, just moved from under the tank. I predicted a while back that it will be Harley's newest chrome accessory, because right now it looks like crap ! You can't see it much on the Ultra, but it sure sticks out on the Road King !

The mechanics like it though, as it's easier to get to for alignment adjustments.

RE: Changes on Ultra 07 to 08?

I didn't have an '07 Ultra, but I did discover another change (I believe) that made me happy. Yesterday I installed the electronics of an Ultra to my Classic including rear speakers, intercom, and CD module. Instead of following the directions and running all the cables under the tank console, I decided to run them under the tank. Wow, what an easy deal that was. No cross over line to cut and reinstall, just the quick disconnect fuel line and 4 bolts. A 5 minutes job. It also has a cable tray under the tank.
