It was said in jest ffs, surely you've got better things to do with your time ??

 

Can't you guys just take this to the flag pole by the parking lot at 15:00 and E-fight it out instead of fouling up this thread.

Just my $0.02

 

You're right. Apologies for my contribution to the fouling.

On a different note, my bike is 1 year old as of August 31st. Just over 10,000 miles, second set of tires, services done on schedule.

The only problems:
- apparently the horn quit working at some point. I didn't know it because I rarely use it. The shop found it when I was in for tires at about 7500 miles. Replaced on warranty of course.
- my spokes in the rear wheel were getting loose at the 5k service. I took it in and had the shop true it up and tighten everything under warranty. They've stayed tight since.
- the aforementioned starter grinding sound that periodically pops up.

Other than these things, the bike has performed very well. Additionally, I'm very pleased with Softail performance as a whole. It's the first Softail I've owned after several other varieties of HD from different eras. Although it isn't as sporty as a Dyna can be, it's a more refined package.
I say can be because Dyna's come stock with crap for suspension. One has to make them better with aftermarket suspension. I suppose some of the '16 and '17 models have some improved hardware.

 

I had my 5k service done this weekend, and so far I have only had an issue with the clutch (hard to put the trans in "N" when the engine was running), once I got the recall done (about 1500 miles ago) everything has worked perfectly. Loving the bike more and more each day.

 

Got a session booked on the dyno in early october, so looking forward to the improvements.

 

Tuning only or are you adding additional performance components?

 

Just tuning, really need to get the heat issue sorted out.
