Very few had real problems with 07s, but they talked about it a million times so it gave the look of everyone did. My 07= no issues as with most All others too. No matter what product you buy, a small precentage will have some problems, its just the way it is.
Mine is perfect as is everyone elses that I "personally" know. I have a 2005 Road King I ride at work and my '07 is head and shoulders above that bike.
Besides my 07 dieing on me at any given time, it's OK. They have since finally installed a new ECM for me after 4 visits and telling me nothing was wrong every time.........
I think the tranny noise and clunk is just part of the new bike. Does not bother me at all.
My bike is great always starts, rides nice looks great and gets ridden 3-6 hundred miles every weekend... I live less than a mile from work... I have wondered about all of the complaints I see here.,..
I hate to say it, but this is my fourth new Harley, and has to be the best one yet. So far, everything is like it's supposed to be. I call it my 'gas & go"!
