RE: SPEC for 08s

Hey Sarge, first off thanks for your service.
As I'm sure you know HD just made major changes to the Twin Cam line in 07. The best bet would be that they will not make any changes in 08 but just refine what they did in the 07 bikes. The HD Motor Co. is notoriously tight lipped about what changes will come out in the next model year. I think you can count on your 08 model being nearly identical to the 07 though.

I hope you mean that the bikes will be available in Sept of 07 rather than Sept 08 as you posted. I could see waiting till Sept 07 but not 08.

Best of Luck.

RE: SPEC for 08s

I agree with SLORider. There probably won't be any major changes, but hopefully all the bugs will be worked out of the 07's. I never buy anything the first year out for just that reason. Congratz, Good Luck, and thanks for your service.

RE: SPEC for 08s

Not 100% sure, but believe that one change you will get for 08 is the 'active intake & exhaust' system thats on the European 07 bikes.

The exhaust has a variable valve built into it which is controlled by a remote electric motor and some very 'low rent' exposed cables. I've got an 06 and so am not surehow the replacement exhaust guys are getting around this.

Maybe some of the UK/European 07 owners could help with some info.
