I have a 08 EG classic . Have it two weeks, took it from NY to Myrtle Beach. 2700 miles on it.
I just love it. One problem is a high idle on some startups. Have to cycle the ignition switch five or so times.
Will have to figure it out.

I just passed 6000 miles with not one problem. I did the 103" stage 2 kit at 4000 miles.
I don't even have the brake squeal. Now that the weather is good, maybe I can quit adding upgrades. I've turned it into an 103" Ultra from a Classic. It is undoubtably the best, and nicest riding, bike I've ever owned.

No problems here either. Most of the unsatisfied 08 owners are the ones that dont have one..................
Ain't that the truth!

I have a little over 9,100 trouble free miles on my Ultra and all I can say is sweet. Like all Ultra’s of this vantage it seemed to put out the heat, but a Stage 1, dyno, true duals, and V&H Ovals really cooled it down. Now if Harly would only come out with some pull back bars, it would be perfect. PS: The ABS work great.
