Default Oh I am so glad I joined this forum --- 07 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

What problems? Do you mean issues a few had with their early built bikes? 99% of us are happy with our 07's. If youre scared, I hear hondas are on sale. LOL

Really what sounds are you worried about, 5th gear whine? I cant even hear mine anymore and its only got 500 miles on it. The clatter was on very early built bikes, if yours was built since nov. of 06 you got no worries at all.

Ya what problems? I haven't heard of many serious complaints at all ref the '07's. Just minor things at best.

My Dad has logged 2500 miles on his '07 Electra Glide in the past 8 weeks and it's been flawless.

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"
