I took my bike to the dealer today because of an oil leak that started on Sat. I thought it was coming from the cheap-a$$ rubber lines from the oil filter housing to the oil cooler.
 They called this afternoon to tell me that indeed it was the lines to the oil cooler. Trouble is, they don't have them in stock and it's going to be a least five days before they will get them. Now the good part, they said my front motor mount was shot and was replaced with an improved part.
 So here I am with a $32K motorcycle with less than 5K miles and here's the list.
1. Radio display gone.
2. Ignition switch recall {parts back-ordered}
3. Oil cooler lines failed {why?] [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
4. Front motor mount bad. {again, why?} [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I didn't have this much trouble with my '01 Ultra the whole 5 years I had it !!!

You can see the problem with the oil cooler lines in:

My radio display comes and goes but no telling when or why.

The motor mounts are a very old part #, designed for the 80 inch motors.  The 103's have too much torque.  HD has come out with a new part which is made of a harder rubber.  I've heard good and bad about it.  Good being that it doesn't break, bad because the there's more vibration.  My SEEG is at the shop right now getting the new part # motor mount put on under warranty since mine was broken (again)...

You're lucky you didn't have any problems with your 01.  It took me 5 (that's right!- 5) dealers just to get my 01 Ultra home after I originally picked it up for oil leaks, and that was just the beginning of it's problems.  I felt like I was riding an AMF bike with that one.
