You're gonna totally hate it and be very unsatisfied with your purchase!
I suggest you send me the bike just to avoid further suffering.
Congratulations.

Have had my '08 SG for about 2 weeks or so. 300 miles on the clock so far. Only complaint to date is sweaky rear brake. [>:]&nbsp\\;Otherwise, nice ride.

Enjoy your new bike!

I have 200 miles on the bike. When I picked it up last Wednesday it was running fine. I stopped at a red light and it cut off. I started it back up and it rode fine. Few traffic lights later it cut off again. Friday I took it back. It's been there ever since. I am very upset. The dealer has had it longer than I have.

Bought the same 2008 105 Anniv SG and had 2300 miles before engine developed a cracked case. Just behind the oil filter. Was told by Harley the problem was in the factory and they are not sure how many got out before it was caught.

Sam, I bet you are! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully she'll be fixed and you'll be on the road soon and that will be the end of that.

Keep us informed as to what happened.

I really want an 08 SG. Tried out a RG this past Saturday and really like the Brembo brakes. Bike is too quiet though.

Just got back in from picking up my bike. The dealer decided the course of action was to remove the power commander refund my money and replace it with the harley down load. The bike runs good. I am pleased for now. Waiting for thunder max to make a product for the 08's.

I got a Thundermax on my 07 SG and it is really nice. I've got 13,000 miles on mine, about 6,000 with the tmax and the bike seems to run better and better as the miles go on. You can install it yourself, they have very good tech help over the phone.
Congratulations
