+1 on the newer bikes heat issue, even my wifes Heritage runs hotter than my 77' FXE ever did.

Oil temp gauge instead of air temp
Angled tire valves
better access to oil filter so you can change with out spilling oil all over.
oil coolers standard
Ipod thumb controls on bars
gear driven cams
to order a bike from factory with upgrades like engine mods, exhaust,wheels and paint. ,

1. Please for the love of God pick a tool set! Standard, metric, 12 pt, torx, etc...
2. Angled valve stems. Most gas stations you can't even use their hoses let alone check your pressure.
3. Replace seat screw with something I can get off with my fingers and not a screwdriver.
4. If you can't move oil filter put something under it to direct oil off of components.
5. Get rid of crazy steering head bearing checks. Fall away?

So many complaints........sounds like most of you need to go out and buy a different bike so you will be all cozy. It really sounds like you bought a harley because you thought it would make you cool and now you want to change the whole bike because you dont like it in the first place........

I want a Cruise Control that will read the lead bikes settings and mimic it. This way in a group ride all the other bikes are set to the leader and it's easy going from then on LOL... I can dream

how about putting the oil filter somewhere that when you go to change it, it doesnt have to leak all over the f---ing frame. c'mon these are 20k to 30k dollar bikes and that is the best you can come up with??????
