Most people don't say anything about the decrease in vibration. To me, it is extremely noticeable.

 

Finally got it right? The answer to that would be arbitrary at best.
All I can say, after owning & riding Harley's of all kinds for 25 years,
is that the '09's are the best yet, improvements abound...but shouldn't
they? I'm sure the '10's and '11's to follow will be even better. We all
know there's way more (free) power in the twin cam that could made
available by some production changes and I, for one, would be happy if they'd finally get rid of the "feels like something's coming apart" clunk/whack we experience when shifting from neutral into 1st.

just my $0.02

 

I have a 09, in my opinion the jury's still out until we run these bike hard through the heat of the riding season.

 

The only complaint I've heard (two friends have the 09 dressers) is the lack of mods. They love the bikes.

 

I am about 4 years away from owning an '09. By then, I am sure the complaints will
be sorted out.
I just hope the gauges fog up.

That's what I was thinking, ask me in about 5 years when I can afford one!!

 

At 1,100 miles it's hardly been ridden but I have no complaints on my 09. I had no complaints on my 04 FXDXI either.

 

It'd be nice if that was the case but it isn't always. Look at the '69 Mustang versus the '79

 

It was hard for me to imagine MoCo could improve on what I thought was a great bike (07 Ultra), but the changes for 09 make the Ultra just that much better.

As with any company, I am sure that there will be changes in the years to come that will blow away what they did in 09, but, IMHO, for now, MoCo has done it right!

Can't wait for mine...

 

I agree. I didn't really have any complaints about my '07 SG either, except for the heat.
