i agree with harley should have all the problems solved at there expence and i think
the 2009 has addressed the issues and now is a better bike i have a 2006 never
had any problems like the " wobble " and heat issues i have soaked a lot of money
personal add ons fuel management and chrome goodies because i want to be able
to adjust fuel mixtures and create a personized cycle for my taste you cant listen
to all the hype because if you did you probably would not buy a harley-ride safe

i don't know where these folks get this $3000.00 quote from. every time someone talks about having to do something 'to get it to run right' its 3 grand.... on my 07, i didn't have to do anything, it ran great from the start. but i wanted to do a stage 1 on it. vance and hines big shot true duals, s/e ac (with the k&n filter), and pcIII. all told about $800. a far cry from 3 grand.
how about this? i'll do the stage 1 on your bike for $2500? you'll save $500 and i'll have enough to buy that dcc fairing that i want

I did alot of research on this forum before spending the bucks. Just wanted a little more power and little nicer sound. 1200.00 out the door. Did a couple of comfort mods and now I just ride it. I will never get rid of my bike because at 6'6" it fits me better than any bike I've ever owned. Plus it will be fun to hot rod one day. Dont believe everything that you hear or read about these bikes or you will think that they are inferior in the stock form. They are not.

>>I am getting 43mpg at 2300 rpm's at 70-75mph. I have had no overheating issues.<<
You said it yourself......Quit giving the Grandmas that like to bitch and complain about nearly everything the time of day and ride your motorcycle.
I had a Yamaha Roadstar and spent more on that thing keeping it running than I ever have on this bike.

With the above being stated ya know with all HD Shops something else will be needed once the job begins. So I yield to the above statements. I am $600 off of my original flamboyant figure of $3000. Yee Haa.... Just having fun, I doubt I will do any of this other than what I have already done. I will be foolish and bank on the bike being able to run with the original HD lean settings. So when I melt my motor down I'll let ya know. Consider me a test case.
