Well mine died at about 5500 miles. Fortunately I was only 70 miles away at a friend's house. I've been waiting since Sunday. Parts are supposedly being shipped. I bought my '08 Ultra last September. Hopefully there won't be anymore cheap-assed parts they foisted on us to save a few bucks. It could have been much worse, but I am pissed at H-D. The dealer has been fine, its the damn bean counters or whichever moron decided to use crap in a design

Where in the VIN number is the month of manufacture?&nbsp\\; I found the year, it's pretty simple to see that.... looking in the users guide, it plainly points you to the year.&nbsp\\; I just don't see which number represents the month?

It's on a sticker above the vin number on left side of the goose neck. You have to lift the wire bundle up to see it.

ORIGINAL: ohbagger

08 Electra Glide Classic built 10/08&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Damn, a futuristic bike&nbsp\\; I reckon in 10/08 they be building the 09's[8D]
&nbsp\\;
No problem with mine yet, am concerned about it though because&nbsp\\;I took out the compensator and have a wee bit more vibrations as well as a lot of in town rides.&nbsp\\; Made sure that we have 4 on order at our shop just in case and might just grab one and change the biotch out before I have a problem.
