Seems like each year has gone through it's rash of issues.  With a little luck and the good fortune of this site.......stick around and you'll learn how to weed through most of those issues in short order.

Hotrod,

Welcome to the site.  Sorry to hear about the issues your are having with your 07.  Warranty and a good dealer should take care of all of it.
Best of Luck to you.

Welcome aboard hotrod! Well, some of us are nuts, but we're not crazy. These things are real, and you found the right spot to find answers. The Redline Shockproof Heavy helps. It's about as good as it gets. You're not getting rid of that 5th gear whine though. Makes it better, and it shifts much smoother. I like it. I used the S&S SPO's from the day I got the bike. I love those mufflers. Perfect sound. I needed a bigger exhaust system, and it bummed me out to remove them for the 2>1 D&D Fatcats. I did a lot of work to get rid of all the things you bring up and more. Depending how much you're into the bike, will determine how you're going to deal with it. Good luck with your bike and enjoy the site! :2vrolijk_21:

Welcome to the site! Hope you get your issues resolved on the new scooter. It's a damn shame to see this on what is supposedly is a 'hand-built-custom' bike! Just think what the run of the mill non-CVO owners must be saying :nixweiss:

Welcome to the site. The people on this site have seen almost everything and can help with diagnosing almost anything.

Enjoy the bike and all of its special properties......fixing those you can't and living with the rest.
