No matter how good anyone is at what they do, it always still comes down to one man's opinion. I'm very happy with my 08 Ultra thank you very much.
Yep

I like the new bike's except for the fbw (Fly by Wire Throttle) and that would prevent me from buying a new one, but the rest rest of the bike is cool IMHO
I am more than happy with my '08 SG. And as far as the fbw. Having ridden Harleys with throttle cables before this bike. Also having rented a couple of '07 glides on vacation since purchasing this one. I couldn't be happier with the ECT. It's (in my opinion) got a much smoother and lighter feel.

I hear lots of people not trusting the throtle by wire on the 08's, and I tell them that EVERY heavy duty truck on the road today and most new earth moving equipment uses the same setup! Since 1988, EVERY new Kenworth road tractor I bought had computer controlled engines and throtle by wire. I didn't have the first breakdown with this system and the LEAST amount of mileage on any of these trucks at trade in was 1,200,000.
