08 105th duracell, I have number 150 put 1500 miles on the bike with no problems, Then I changed all my gauges to spun aluminum and got an 08 speedo with those. 2400 miles now still no problem

4,200 miles & no issues here like that. I do note that when the radar stands on the side of the road flash my speed my speedometer seems to register @ 5 miles faster than the display on the road says. I wonder which is more accurate?

7K, no speedo problem, but have been getting some pinging and knocking from the high altitude(Colorado). Looking into upgrading to stage 1, dealer said this should fix the problem.

I believe that irresponsible would be NOT sharing the information with people like YOU.
If you would have taken the time to read the entire post, you would have seen that I also said the 08's were the best bikes Harley has produced.
What would you call it besides "on the rise" if six 08&nbsp\\;bikes came in on the same weekend with the same problem?
Sorry if you are offended....no wait, I don't give a rats *** if you are. If you don't like reading the posts where people are sharing their information on problems they are having and asking for suggestions or help,&nbsp\\;then what the ***** are you doing here??,
ORIGINAL: uweldit

No offense, claiming that speedo problems are "on the rise" is irresponsible.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
To read these messages sometimes makes me think that 08 harleys are lemons one and all.[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
I think that the 08's are the best bikes MoCo has ever made.

08' RG with 1200mi. so far the only prob is the squealing brakes and the well nuts in fairing for the windshield. Dealer fixed one,waiting for kit to fix brakes and also just recieved the 1st recall on the fuel filter.
