My final call, I said that in my first post. Also if NO ONE was to buy an 08 or 07 ect..... then we would be able to get them for near nothing! LOL And HD sales wouldn't be down right now huh? (Just like every other manufacture's sales are across the USA../ World.)

IF I experience that "Death wobble" does the stabilizer idea work really well?

I have an 08 and I'm working out a deal to trade to an 09. I have tried ever thing to cure the wobble. It has been greatly reduced but not eliminated. I took an 09 out for a test ride the other day and it is the bike I wish the 08 was. I would test ride them both, but I would recomend the 09.

I have a FLHRC 08 and not feel weird movement of the bike. Also at high speeds. Mine is the last of 2008 produced. I bought it in July of 2008 because my dealer in Spain did not know of the changes new chassis for 09.
Honestly I have not noticed staggering.

Get the 09. I hate the Duracell color scheme.
