like the others suggested find a good painter, if your set on that color, which in my option is nice.

Lots of folks seem to want to bash the '07 model year but I am unaware of any significant improvements to the motor from '07 through current. I love my '07 and I rarely see a bike that tempts me to trade.

Choice of colors is bad to say the least.Who chooses them?I think I remember the Harley website saying white would be avaliable later in the year though.

Why did you sell your '07? Since the you don't like the new one that you intend to replace it with, and you did like the one you had, why would you do that? Was there some problem with your '07 that influenced your decision to sell?

My '07 Ultra is early year as well with 39K miles on it. Still going strong. Stage one, PCIII, Free flowing slip ons, Baisely oil pressure spring. I cut the oil filter open every other oil change, no problems found so far. As I understand it, the crank runout "problem" is an issue if you are going to change over to a gear drive cam setup. Otherwise it's a none issue.

07 Ultra with 30,000+ miles, runs great and never a hic-up. Love mine and have no intentions of changing. Only routine maintenance and Power Commander since new.
