Question '07 Reliability Poll

Please vote (can select more than one) and then, if you've had any, please summarize any problems in your post.

For instance, I had a problem with an "Added HD part". I added IDS during the rebate period but 1st bearing died. My dealer (Palm Bay HD) repaired it free though and it's been great for over 10K miles now and my RK has over 17K total miles.

Had a shock leak at 15,000. Covered under warranty.
Still needs an IDS though.
She's a keeper! Very satisfied to date!

Only done 3,000 miles on her so far,bikes done 7,000 in total.
No trouble so far. Stage 1,V&H Slip-ons,Fuelpack and re-flash @ 5,000 service seemed to cool things down too.

Very happy with mine. Bad battery from the factory, replaced quickly. Radio gremlins act up once in a blue moon, but that's hardly limited to '07. Other than that I can't really think of anything that's gone wrong that wasn't my own fault.

Well after just about 2 years:
A) My transmission is still intact
B) Have learned to deal with heat situation
C) Have about 24,000 miles with NO issues
Kinda funny I was just thinking of asking how the '07's were holding up after a couple of years,too. Guess all the 'gloom and doom' about these motorcycles was just hype. I am still satisfied with my motorcycle!!!

My 07 hasn't missed a beat in 17000 K. It doesn't clunk rattle or wine in any gear.

well at about 1year and 2 months the motor give out but was replaced with a fresh one and as for the gears a little clanky every once in a while but ill keep her for another ywear or two. oh yea have had problems keep grips in good shape seems like i can find a pair to keep the crome on them but i think it might be the sun screen that i put on and then grab the grips but still no reason for 50 to 60 dollar grips to lose it crome.
