Interesting changes, but they don't all seem to be beneficial to the end user at first glance.

Beneficial:

SE Compensator
Oil Cooler

Not sure if Beneficial:

Bushingless connecting rod, cam guide, etc.
Bearing set depth
new throttle body
new clutch design
etc.

Seems like some fo these may be to reduce costs. I would think bushings can be replaced veresus a direct contact surface that will wear out.

Also, what isthe 5th gear issue? Is it actually failing or just a little loud? Sounds like it's a common issue from other posts.

Trying to delve in as I'm planning on buying an ultra classic in the next couple months and am looking at 2009 but will look into spending more if the 2010/11 are better built.
