Ive read many more posts of happy 07 owners than a few that had a real trans problem, not a whinning 5th gear, this is do to being a straight cut gear its going to do that. I think ive read about all the 07 trans threads and remember only one or two that had to have the trans worked on, any year ,any brand will have a few that have problems. This motor and trans was tested for more than two years in bikes driven hundreds of thousands of miles, and the 6 speed trans was stock in all 06 dynas, so a few problems are just that a "few" problems. If you notice, most issues are posted by new to harley owners or owners that have moved up to a ultra, due to all the fairings and lowers, noise is more heard than other models.

If this is due to straight cut gears, then why is it that my 06' RK doesn't whine in any gear and they are all straight cut gears?
