Default Rode an 07 X today

Rode a bone stock 07 StreetGlide demo today. Put about ten miles on it. The exhaust sound is deep and throaty and is easily the best sounding stock exhaust Harley has ever made. There was considerably more power than my 06 with high flow pipes & power commander. Made more heat than the 06 does... There is a green 6 that lights up on the speedo when you hit 6th gear.. all in all I'm very impressed...

You better get your bike to the Dyno Man if you thought the 07' was better then an 06' with different exhaust and PC... Stock TC96 is just about the same as the Stock TC88..However the "6" is cool.

I thought it also vibrated more at Idle then the TC88, did you notice that as well? Did seem a little hotter then the 06'
