2009 Touring Model Info
Here's some 2009 touring model predictions:
1. Totally new ECM - will only allow upshifting between 2800 and 3000 RPMs to avoid lugging. When it senses that you are in gear below 2700 RPMs, it will automatically shut off the bike and call you an idiot thru the stereo speakers.
2. ECM will restrict "cracking open" the throttle to avoid pinging. You can now only accelerate as fast as grandma jones regardless of how fast you twist the throttle. Fail to comply and get the same response as #1!
3. All bikes will get great gas mileage since the A/F ratio will now be 18.7:1 Don't worry about the heat, the radiator(s) will take care of that!
4. IDS will be expanded to include IDS sprokets on the crankshaft, clutch basket and triple trees. The ride will be oh so smooth!
5. New stereo system on touring models will now play "comfort messages" while you ride. i.e, "Don't worry about that noise, it's perfectly normal and everything is beautiful!", "Clunking is normal! Now enjoy your new Harley!" and "What whine? I do not sense any whine. Please turn up your stereo now."
6. Awesome new colors: Dull Brown, Primer Red, and Crappy *insert any color here*!! That cool red color everyone likes will go away and be replaced by "pastel beige".
7. New 8-speed tranny for smoother shifting and better mileage. 5th gear is still straight cut. You will also have to be doing 97 mph before shifting into 8th! Watch that lugging!
8. New models: Whine Glide and Clunk Bob. They will rename the Rocker to the Rattler.
9. Prices will only increase $10 for all models! Woohoo!
I think I'm going to run down to the dealer and put myself on the list now!
And have a Great Clunky Day!

3. All bikes will get great gas mileage since the A/F ratio will now be 11:1 Don't worry about the heat, the radiator(s) will take care of that!
Optimum Air Fuel Ratio is 14.7 to 1, so your 11:1 would be so rich it may
no run at all.

Why do people continue to own, buy and berate products they don't like. There are LOTS of choices out there for a big, comfy bike. Don't like your Harley, go get something else.

Well, are these real problems or imagined? Will later build '08's have these issues resolved?
I waited for an '08 thinking the '07 problemswould beresolved. Do I have to wait for '09?
