diferent problem on a 07 ultra
well just picked up my 07 ultra and as for 5th gear there doesnt seem to be any noises but in 6th, thats a diferent story. theres were mine sounds like a bucket of bolts. its not like its about to fall apart but it is defently there. i think im going to try to ride it out for the 1000 mile mark and see if it will go away or if they are going to have to do something. by the way the ride home was 120 miles so i donr know we will have to see. before you ask i did get it up to 70 to 75 in 6th gear and the sound was still there. i will have to say i do like my new bike and i think that between me and the dealer we can get this worked out.

Congratulations on the new '07. Don't it just chap you when you pay so much for something and have those kind of problems. it almost make you feel like, after the problem has been fix that you've been cheated.
It sound like Harley Davidson may have more than one supplier for the transmission gears. Otherwise it doesn't seem like they would be having some bikes that don't have any problems at all. Although I guess, it could be something going on in the assembly process of the transmissions.

This tranny problem sounds so far to be a hardware issue at least w/the nuts in can sound.someone posted a bolt backing out and clutch basket replacement due to the fact.May have misunderstood this post but thats the way it sounded.Maybe captbob will chime in,he seems like the trans poster child so far.

RE: diferent problem on a 07 ultra
I have also had problems with my transmission. But my brother, who has a 07 deluxe, has not had any problems with his. My dealer keep puting me off untill my 1000 mile service. I finaly took it in and told them I was not driving it anymore. Few days later I called them and they told me a bolt came out in the transmission. I was hearing the "rocks in a bucket" sound in all my gears. I did have a clutch problem. it made a wierd whining noise in neutral. I don't thank that was related, but they are replacing the clutch. They said their was one other thing they did not like, but can't remeber what it was at this time. I am waiting for the MoCo to get the parts to the dealer so they get the repairs finished. Right now I am with Capt. I am not having a good Harley experience. Hopefuly I wont have anymore problems after this.
