Exactly.

I have 3700 miles on my SG and love it. Rode 300 miles yesterday after installing V&H Ovals/PCIII/Stage 1 and could not be any happier. Yes it runs hotter than my 2005 however that problem was caused by the EPA. There are plenty of roads here with a 75mph speed limit so the 6th gear sees plenty of work and there is a noticeable increase in power over my prior bikes, even without the performance upgrades.

 

As a automotive maker, I still find HD to be at the very top of the quality game. I have never had any major problems with any Harley, witth the most miles logged before trading 75K. Take a look at the materials used vs some of the metrics...seriously. You get a well put together bike with kick *** quality parts that "feels" and "looks" worth the money spent in my book.

 

GliderXXX, my feelings exactly. Love my 07 FLHX

 

I have a 07 SG and would not trade it for the world, I have logged 5000 trouble free miles on her since the end of august, and i have fixed the issues that everyone else is having,
#1 the dreaded 5th gear whine , mine went away when i put some good gear oil in the transmission, install a good exhaust system and turned up the tunes,
#2 the funny noises coming from the primary, put it in the right gear and don't lug the engine and it wont clunk rattle or clink, im not trying p#ss any one off with this one but it is the only time mine makes noise.
just my 2cents

 

going on 2500 miles on my '07 Low Rider and no mechanical issues or strange noises to report.

 

I just got my new 07 RKC the week before Thanksgiving. I have only put on 350 miles, but here are my observations:

1. 5th gear whine - yup, its there. It does not bother me - sounds pretty cool, actually. Noticeable because the bike is VERY quiet in 2 - 4 and 5th.

2. No "rocks in can sound" (at least so far).

3. Heat issue - too cold outside in NH to tell!

4. Power - excellent, but breaking it in still!

5. Fit/finish - excelent!

I have to say I LOVE the bike. I will love it more in March when I get it out of storage with the following adds:

1. 110 SE kit

2. Rinehart TD exhaust

3. Touring saddle

4. Tour trunk

5. Security system/pager

I can't wait!

 

Ok, I'll amend my previous post... While I've had no unexpected mechanical or fit/finish issues with my Dyna, the engine heat resulting from the EPA-mandated lean tuning is troublesome - especially here in the south in summer stop and go traffic. In fact, I had stopped using my Dyna as a commuter to work during August and September. But I'm not holding Harley responsible - this is a side effect of an air cooled engine in a government regulated industry.
