3 weeks after i got the '06 they do this to me? i'm pissed. my dealer told me they won't even do a different transmission on it, it would remain a 5sp. now i have to hear this? i am pissied. i could've waited, but no!

 

Take heart. I have a feeling that owning an '06 or prior is going to have it's advantages.

The only new bike I would be interested in would be a SE Ultra, and with that butt ugly leather tour pac, that ain't going to happen.

Regards,

Bill

 

I know with that 96" and 6-speed my broth-in-law will be placing his order.

I don't blame him.

I'm curious about the new exhaust system?
Is it all mute anyway to accomplish performance and sound?

 

I agree - pretty soon the PCIII's will be black market products because the onboard puter will be protected - [>:] [:'(] [:@]

 

Thanks for the link Fish!

 

All I can say is I am happy I bought my '06...

I paid 18,965.00, and I have a big grin every time I ride her

 

They finally got the Roadglide stripe right!!! For years it has been obvious that two different paint designers were doing the striping from the fairing to the tank. It never lined up (with the exception of the SE version). But now it does -- and looks 100% better!!! But why not continue the theme on that little piece just in front of the saddlebags? Hmmm... details, details....

 

OK let us not forget the old addage of "you never buy anything the first year it cmes out"

Cripes they are still working the bugs out of the 88 inch engine and the leaky primarys, the 25 degree injector issue, ignition switch on the 06's, radio problems, etc.

Most of the threads I read have some hint of HD QA issues.

That being said, I'll be happy to ride my 03 FLHTPI TYVM.

I think there are going to be some serious issues with modability of these new bikes. I don't want to sound like a conspiricy theorist but I suspect that starting with the elimination of some of the SE pipes, the MOCO has crawled into bed, albeit at gunpoint, with the EPA.

If I were in the market for a new bike, I'd be trying to get a discounted 06, and hoping I got one of the "good"ones.

 

I think the colors and graphics are BUTT UGLY!
But I may have to go get the 110" Big Bore kit!

 

From a SG owner I have to say that the two newest colors go against the whole premise of the bike. They wanted it to be dark colored and bad. That new blue and silver look like crap.
