Congratulations. I'm hope the heads last for 53 years plus. Like knuckles and pans. I won't be here to testify. One era ends. Another begins. Long live the MOCO.

I went to the local dealer to check them out today also. I was unable to ride it though becouse I was wearing blue jean shorts instead of long pants, whatever....... Anyway they fired one up for me, I don't know.... I'm sure it will grow on me some but it definitely was a different approach from the second they hit the starter button. Even the starter sounded like a super smooth brushless motor. The engine is cluttered up some with hoses and wires which I didn't care for at first look. Idk i guess I will have to ride one but my first impression was it seemed to refined to me. Like someone smacked it with a goldwing stick and alittle of it rubbed off on the whole 107 setup. who knows maybe a test ride would change my whole opinion.

I went to the dealer to test ride one today also.... it followed me home.




power wise... no comparison to the 103 HO. same can be said about handling. I bought my 15 streetglide last year and hadn't plan on trading it in. got a great deal and it was a done deal.
