>>>The EPA will never crack down like the car industry<<<
You better get yourself a copy of the bill that was passed concerning bikes. As of now, they make 49 state bikes and california bikes. In 2010, there will only be 50 state bikes, and they will have to comply with california emission standards. Some of the new regulations, began to take effect in 2006, and the rest will be phased in by 2010.Here is a short synopsis of the bill, in layman's terms. The section concerning custom bikes, will come as a real surprise to those of you not familar with the bill.

ANALYSIS: The EPA has decided to cause new regulations on motorcycles simply because they haven't been lowered in 20 years. However,the EPA figures state motorcycles emit less than 1% of all mobile source emissions! The cost and impact to the motorcycle community (manufacturers, after-market and consumers) needs to be scientifically weighed against how much pollution will be reduced by such efforts and costs. Said another way, the cost of proposed standards must be verified to be scientifically possible and cost effective.
So I believe it will cost to much and won't make a difference....only my $.02

RE: 07 Street GLide question...
Thanks for the replays fellas... still up in the air on what is going to happen.. but I do know I have to get back on two wheels very soon. I am looking to secure one within the next two weeks. After hitting a couple stealers in the area, I am becoming more unfocused in what I am looking for. I had started out with wanting to replace my baby 06 FLHX (carb) only to find the UC teasing me with a price about 1800 more than the SG... Ug..
I had planned to upgrade my newSG with triples, few more lighting effects, front detachable fairings (lowers for cold days only)... (more visablity and noise for me this go round... Cager hit us and I believe now loud pipes would have prevented the crash...imo...)
But after speaking with a few folks and reading thru the HD Bible (hdforums baby!), I have realized that I can strip down the UC (remove tour packs and such), to have the SG upgrades im looking for and probably save some cash in the long run.
My wife really likes the tour pack during long cruises and I liked the surround sound from the stereo.
So TODAY... I’m leaning towards the UC....
O yea.. as far as new vs used.. I am looking to go new... When I bought my 06, I picked up GAP insurance (GAP + Acc coverage is an absolute must!!!!!!!!!) and the policy actually pays 1k towards any new bike (sadly it's only from the dealer I bought the policy from and I was not happy with their service dept at all...) . So I figured I could let the policy eat the initial deprecation...and work the stealer down as low as I can. Atm, I have a quote of $18,200 (includes first service). If a good deal comes before I sign papers, then used isn’t out of the question.
Since hitting several stealers now, I have to rework quotes for the UC… lol, more Lithium please....
