08 Throttle Response
I'm picking up my new Ultra in a few days and am curious as to whether or not anyone has experienced the rumoured slow throttle response. I figure a lot of you have had your new FBW equipped bikes for a while now so how about some feedback. The mechanic at my dealership says "it's definitely different". Exactly what he meant by that I'm not sure. I'm coming off an 07 SG and wonder how much of a difference there will be in this area.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

RE: 08 Throttle Response
OK, I'm a convert. After owning nearly a dozen bikes, I picked up my first HD this year. And I too experienced slow throttle response. A month later, I put on Rineharts, X Tuner and SE Intake. What a difference! Its worth every penny. I now get 90 lbs of Torque at 77 HP and excellent throttle response.
Enjoy the summer!

RE: 08 Throttle Response
For normal riding and getting out and going I don't feel any difference, but when down shifting and coming to a stoplight I always used to blip my throttle before letting out the clutch with each gear going down....I notice the blip is just a hair slower to come on my 08 Ultra.
