What he said.

 

When I bought my LTD it was just as expensive, after dumping more than 10 large into it the bike is killer, so what about that part of the post? I think you would get a a lot more respones if added a late model option, but that is JMO. Ride safe!

 

Revisit this in 50,000 miles. Just saying.

 

Because my old bike was written off, that is why I was in the market for a new bike.

 

Love the upgrades, price only went up 300 on the road king here in Canada.
Not on the option list. Hmmm

 

So you are saying you have 50k on a '14 with a host of problems?

When I bought my '07 they said, "OOOoooo, that 96 is going to have lots of problems."

30,000 miles, zero issues.

When I bought my '11 with the 103 they said, "man I'd never buy the first year of an engine change, you're going to have lots of problems"

28,000 miles, zero issues.

There is no indication that I am going to have any problems out of either of my '14s.

It is the same engine, FFS. They added a couple of water ports, and put the cams in that are very similar to what most guys change to anyway, and upped the comp to 10.0.

Hyd clutch issues? They have been selling hyd clutches for years.
Somebody screwed up, and the mothership responded in a very responsible manner to try and get these fixed.

Although neither of mine have shown any indication of the problem.

 

Thats a dumb a$$ poll

 

Same here, the simpler the better.
The 96ci was a reliable engine, the (2009) new frame handles very well under load, 5th gear is now quiet and ABS brakes don't suffer from overheating.
I would appreciate the H7 passing lights to remain lit when using high-beam for safer handling in the twisties at night; is the MY-2014 clever enough to do that?

 

Yes.

But it had to be done on the digitaltech at the dealer, as far as I can gather.

I used to wire them to work HI or LO in the past, but as far as I can ascertain, it is now controlled by the BCM.

 

Yup! Only takes a 2 minute software change by the dealer.
