Yeah....pretty funny how there was all this debate about '07's being problematic bikes. As usual things tend to get blown out of proportion and before you know it, everyone who reads it assumes it's a much bigger issue than it really is.

52k on mine. Never had the tranny whine everyone talked about, but the bearings did go. Rebuilt under warranty. Other problems were minor and not the kind of thing that would be specific to the 07. I'm happy.

10,000+ miles and only a saddlebag lock and the starter loosening up and not grounding.
Just check your starter bolts from time to time.

Added HD part. IDS Bearing went bad 8000 miles after dealer installation. Bike has been great outside of that. I've got 20,000 total miles on the bike.

Replaced starter and Cruise control module last month at 23,400 miles and had the radio replaced at about 17,000 miles. Not planning on replacing it anytime soon. Great bike!!
