RamDez,There is good 07s and there is SOME not real good ones,at least you will need to put 600 to 1000 dollars into bike to fix the heat,possiblly pinging,to make bike run like a 96incher should.If you get a sour build,dont expect HD to do anything to correct it if its tranny or motor noise related.

Man, I am so glad I joined this forum after ordering my 07 Road King ..............................
Now I am thinking of cancelling the bike after reading all about the problems everyone is getting
I am supposed to get the bike at the end of March (I know its been delivered to the holding depot) but I just dont know.
Someone hug me and tell me it will be all OK

2007 Road King Custom FLHRS
I purchased it back in September 2006. No complaints - nothing but praises.
Almost 2,500 miles on it and I wish I could say almost 5,000 miles but Mother Nature hasn’t been very cooperative. However, Punxsutawney Phil (the groundhog) is trying his best to whisk winter out early this year!
As I’ve said before: When the green 6 is lit up on my speedometer….all’s right with the world.
Go for it Highlander! Regards,

I won't hug you and tell you it is going to be OK"
............BUT".........!!
I will hug you and tell you, if you like 100 year old
motorcycle technology and you like everything that
goes with it like: rattling,clanking,pinging,whinning,
vibration and such like my 07 Ultra Classic does, you
will love your 07 Harley Davidson as much as I love
mine!
if you don't like 100 year old motorcycle technology
you will hate your 07 Harley Davidson and you would
be much better off with a Honda Goldwing or BMW LT.
Or you could do what I do and have a few totally
differentmotorcycles to ride depending on your
mood for the day...
Good Luck,Ride Safe and above all ENJOY"

Other than the rattling, this is one great drivetrain, IMO. Lots of low-end and mid-range torque, not a screamer on top-end in stock form, but just what I like. Be prepared to add SERT or PCIII, an open air-cleaner (K&N, HD, Ness, etc.), and the mufflers of your choice.
