...I think that also but have no data to back it up. 30 pages of ranting and still no statistical data of any value. Including important info below would help:
1. Model
2. Date of manufacture
3. Manufacturing plant
4. Sequential part of VIN#
5. etc.
However, I don't think the one's having problems really care about where the bad ones are manufactured or what lot they are from... But maybe the rest of us would like to know! Everyone I ask here on the West Coast about the problems just shake their heads no and look at me funny. I heard all of the ones out here are mfd in Texas.

RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
We are opening a new thread under Touring Models for only the guys with the clatter problem. It is our attempt to get away from the idiots that keep talking about whining, non 07 models, guessing at the problem even though they have never even heard it. There is another 07 Tranny thread there so look for a new one in a day or two. As the idiots pop in, after all they are idiots and will do so, use the block button so you won't have to see their BS. I will be deleting this thread at that time.

RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
Actually, I would think everyone would be interested in knowing. Those that are looking to buy and those with the problem. If it comes down to a class action lawsuit, being able to pinpoint if there is a specific source of the problem would be a tremendous help in making your case. For that matter, having that information for those currently arguing with their dealers/customer service would be helpful too. The more you can pinpoint the problem to model(s), plant, range of serial numbers, etc. the better your argument of a manufacturing problem. You can bet HD either already knows or is trying to determine.

Yes they know but wont say so w/o several calls.They have been buying time while those of us w/noises are being fed a line of ****.Right now its every man for himself although we pass along any info amongst ourselves.Read any HD brochure or magazine writeup and read what they say about these 07 models,some of us dont have this type of bike and have along spreadsheet saying so.Right now its our complaints vs ITS NORMAL by them.Third party feedback may help,soundclips,others w/same problem will be needed and used believe me.You gotta play by the legal rules if you want to get any satisfaction.You have to give them a chance to correct this on their end first.So far they have not.

RE: 2007 Tranny problem!
Ladies And Gent,
458 posts regarding the transmission in all 07 HD. I am the guy who posted the "Delimma HD or Yamaha" . I am not sure if a 07 HD is the way to go.
Are all HD built at the same factory? I know with cars, that some manufacturing problems occur in the factory line. Are HD destined for Canada built at the factory where the Us bikes are built?
I am waiting until spring 07 to buy my HD but will only do so if the tranny complaints stop.
Thanks
