wow, this whole thing about one frame failing out of how many? it makes me wonder if the value of the bike would be anything like a non rebuilt bike would be. it makes me happy that i have the last year of the frame that's stood the test of time. good luck, and i hope you end up being happy with your new frame.

All I can say is at my local hd shop in Columbus, Indiana, No problem. Those techs there are as good as they get. Don't think so ? Try getting a service appointment there. 3 weeks to 6 weeks out. Alway heard about a prostitute,if you were good you would always be in demand. same there. Ask the people who go there. There are those places where the bike will be better than new. You just gotta shop arround.

Ex Wife
133 miles: Dare I say - Soild - maybe just real glad to have her home, but dang, it drives
straight 15mph - 90mph
The FLHX rear shocks a little harsh, but I was used to that on my '07 FLHX....
After the 4 hour nut and bolt check, I spent another 1 hour after I got back from my 133 mile ride, I really noticed how nice the SJH Tech routed the cables and wires, used zip ties where the factory forgot or did not have...
I'm taken her down Hwy 1 to Hearst Castle for the weekend, with the GF, so I will report after I have 600 miles..
Thank You all for the Good, Bad, Goofy and some really great advice !
Keep the rubber side down....
