07 Initial impression
Well, I have 114 miles on my 07 FLHRS, came from factory with the 0903 adjustment, and riding in 50 degree weather:
1. No pings, knocks, or unusual heat.
2. LCD Dip Stick showing oil temp. 197 to 215 degrees.
3. Shifting like 15, 25, 35 mph, etc., smooth.
4. 6 th. gear once at 55 mph, o/k, but 60+ mph would be ideal I think.
5. Not pushing it, but torque / power is surprisingly nice, really nice, I am impressed.
6. I am tempted to just add Supertrapp SE's and not touch a/c, download, etc. Hate to mess with what seems so nice.
Maybe I got a good one, thoughts of others?

RE: 07 Initial impression
I will be happy with my 07 EG once I get it the way I want,right now have D&D slip ons 13" apes from cyclesmiths, KY adjustable passenger footpegs (If the wife aint happy..no ones happy) couple things to help the crow syndrome I am afflicted with, still need to replace clutch cable gets a bit tight when I turn to the right even with cable outside of fairing, want to get the floorboard extended along with brake and shifter lever....but as far as the dreaded 5th gear noise,if I hadnt allready heard so much about it not sure its that noticeable love the 96 cubes thanx HD for finally getting that extra gear...its all good...Tom.

RE: 07 Initial impression
Got my 07 Ultra out for the first ride last Friday. Spent a little over an hour on it and found no noises, whines etc. The engine does like to over 2000rpm. Don't lug it especially during breakin. I found 6th was best at 65+. Didn't feel any heat but then it was only about 40 deg outside. We'll see how hot it is at 80 deg this summer.
