There have been issues with every year bike. Harley comes through with 95% of them and plays stupid and tries to get away with the other 5% if it is not cost effective to repair. If there are enough complaints they will have to fix it. Hang in there!

Same here, you just have to adjust...

For me, 45-60 in hills is 4th gear, not 5th.

HARDLY ,I agree w/your statement but there has also be yrs when more owner heat was needed and the MOCO still slithered out on the least out of pocket cost.This yr the owners have been told that a fix is not coming,that it is the way the owners are riding these machines.This is not true entirely.Many here check back weekly,daily hoping for something wonderful to be posted.Its not coming,HD is even telling the legal people that this is normal.Play their game,keep going back and forth w/this noise trying to get one of them to actually do something,trying every imagable wonder fluid to quiet your bike down.Bring it back at 1000 miles,oh bring still have it,bring it back at 5000 miles.Calling HDs C/S and listen to their line of bull.Start pairing up w/guys in your state and use your states representation.If that fails then maybe a class action suit will be needed.

Anyone know what their sales numbers are like for these new bikes? I'm just guessing that they have to be ugly compared to the previous new model year release. If they are ugly they know what they have to do to turn things around. Can't see them going into the 08 models with the same issues, unless they want to slap those AMF logo's back on. Logic tells me that the loss of the old might dollar will force them to fix it.

Hard to tell - the local dealer here is selling them like crazy. Many of us are having no problems with new '07s. The two November builds at my house are great. They are, however, different than the ones we've had before. They like to keep the rpms up, really come alive around 3000.
