I decided when I saw the first photo of those colors that if I got rid of the 06 for an 07 it would be a mirage orange Roadglide, or olive & black Classic. Great lookin bike...Gotta disagree with you on the pipes though. They aren't Rhineharts or a thunder header but they are the best sounding factory pipes Harley has ever offered... I'm getting old & don't care for the loud exhaust anymore. The possibility of a bike from the factory, having the power to do what I need, without having to change exhaust & airbox is very appealing. I understand that the 07's run REAL lean though so they will probably need a power commander or sert even if you don't change anything...

Yep, I almost ordered a orange one, but leaning toward pewter pearl, as for stock muffs, they do sound good, unless youre stuck on those very loud rhineharts,hookers,samsons and the like, Im so over the noise, the 07 stockers sound great to me, now if all that noise equaled great amounts of extra power it would be different, but its just noise.

I'm wondering if the pipes will sound better once I can really hammer on the throttle. Seems to be true about the power thing too. It always seems that you are going fast than you really are when you have loud pipes.

I just got a brand new Power Commander back from Dyno-jet as a replacement for a broken one from my old bike. I'm curious to know if it will fit on the new one. Haven't checked on their website yet for any information.
