RE: 2007 UC 96"
My 88" was in a Low Rider, which is a lot lighter than the UC, but overall I don't think the new engine is significantly stronger. The 6 speed, though, is fantastic. I love the way the bike runs on the highway. 75 is right in the sweet spot, 75 was a tad buzzy on my 88" 5 speed.

So Whiteknuckle, did you get the rattle noise in 5th gear fixed or have you got used to it? Mine is still in the shop waiting on a new tranny from the MoCo.

RE: 2007 UC 96"
Hi Guys,
Thought I'd have me a quick squint in here and see what the general oppinion about this nes get-up is.
Just, as in yesterday, traded my 2001 Road King in for a new 2007 Ultra. Should be with me 1st Sept.
I Done loads of mods to the King, inc big bore and stg 2 conv, which it really needed. 2 Up all the time, really hampers the heavy 1450, and I found the big bore/2 mod worthwhile although bloody expensive!
So, my new steed comes as a 1580, and 6 speed straight from the womb. Although, my stealer tells me yesterday that I cannot get a stg1 kit, nor can I put my V&H pipes on the beast becasuse of the engine mangement system won't allow it. Something about an Oxygen sensor?? Of course, this info is only passed to me after I have given him my hard earned and my steed, early so as not to be kept waiting come new reg release day!
So, have any of you guys encountered this? It's something to do with the new Euro 4 Regs, that I doubt you'd have to suffer.
My gripe is, WTF can't I changed what I want on my machine? Why does the MoCo have the right to hold me back from this? I mean, I have just shelled out over 17thou UKP! surely that gives me some right's to mess up my own Hog? [:@]
Have'nt had any of these on the road here yet to try out, so kind of bought mine blind. I think mine should be one of the 1st on the road here come next Friday, if it arrives in time as it's still on the boat!
I sure hope this 96" engine can deliver at least the power of my old modded King, my knowledgable stealer sales bod, says "no problem" [>:]
Thanks for listeneing to my rambles.

I believe the MoCo will deliver the 103" kit in November...Or at least that's what's on their website.

I decided it's really more perception than mechanics.

RE: 2007 UC 96"
I've got 1200 miles on an 07 Ultra. Been riding an 05 Ultra, love the 07! Much deeper sound from pipes and the 6 speed is the berries! 5th is a little noisy but I try not to hang around there much!! Much better torque at the low end!! The 88ci was alright but the 96 ci KICKS A$$!!......good luck....Tim

RE: 2007 UC 96"
All that loss(my guess) on an 05 for a few extra ponies and a gear. I think I can contain myself. What is the dollars per torque for the trade? What an incredible marketing department HD must have.
