2007 ultra classic issues/opinions ?
I’ve come the realization that I’m not getting any younger, I enjoy riding and tinkering on my 84 fx but it’s just become too uncomfortable to ride any distance at all, I pondered selling it but the shovel market is crap now days especially for semi custom bikes, I do have the opportunity to make a trade for a 2007 ultra classic with 27k on the odometer, super clean bike with the burgundy and cream color scheme, second owner is an older guy who is getting where he is afraid he can’t handle the bike anymore, I’m not a fan of all the problems I’ve heard about with the twin cams but I’ve never owned one either, what issues am I looking for on the 2007 model and is this model more reliable than previous models, seeking experience and opinions welcomed, photo is actual bike I’m considering, the tour pak and lower fairings are included but not currently installed.

I myself have upgraded because of age. Went from a older Dyna to a 2004 EGC.
So much more comfortable, and a joy to ride.
First thing I did was looked at and replaced the cam shoes.They where worn down to about half. Now it is just the little personal things.
Gotta say, I am glad that I upgraded. Having a radio, nice fairing etc has been a bonus that me and misses love it. Makes for longer rides.
Just like my opinion, but I would go for it.

Inner faring brackets are known to break but they can be upgraded with no big deal, but it can cause something to break in the factory radio causing it to cut out when riding, $250 to have the radio repaired threw Iron Cross Audio.
Personally I like these bikes, I think the way they are painted makes them better looking than my 2011 FLHTK. This one has a painted inner and true duals witch is always a plus in my book. You would be far more comfortable on this than you '84. Depending on the deal, I would seriously consider this bike.
