I was just wondering does anyone have a 07 Touring with a transmission that is smooth and quiet in 5th gear or are all of them junk.

 

Not mine... guess it's just junk.

Junk ? What are you basing that on ? 5th is a straight cut gear and will make noice.

 

I am basing it on whining, rattling and vibrating in 5th gear. This is my 3rd Harley. I didn't just fall off a Honda Rebel on to a Harley for the first time!

 

There is a guy who's bike made a noise in 5th gear also Harley just replaced his Trans

his post is in the Harley general chat area

 

Better go back to that rebel then.

You know I've read that a thousand times.. Wasn't the 5 speed ALL straight cut gears? I don't remember my old bike making this much noise...anyway I don't think my 6 speed is junk regardless...

Never had a Rebel. But after the ride today I am going to do something. I wonder if the new Baker DD6 will fit in a '07 case.

 

Just picked mine up Friday in Chattanooga. Have about 350 miles on it and have no noise in any gear. I was really concerned as much as I have heard about the noise in fifth. Has se breather, mufflers and stage 1 download, really runs good.
