They are gonna be expensive, shabbily built siamese rodded dinosaurs with inferior chinese materials.

Questions -

What are "Twian materials"?(!) From the planet Twia?

Why do we humans lock onto certain concepts, views, people, brands, etc., even though they've shown themselves to be faulty, disappointing, expensive, and destructive - especially considering that there are better options? Brief answers - emotion is more exciting and satisfying than logic, and familiarity (often falsely) suggests safety and peace of mind. We humans are experts at creating and legitimizing trouble and expenses for ourselves - but it hurts so good!

That calls for another keg, louder music and pipes, and more dancing girls.

Funny you should mention milky clear coat.  I have a spot on my tank right on top that when I'm in the garage under my lights, I can see this spot about the size of a golf ball.  I've tried to rub it out with final glaze and it's under the paint.  When in the sun you don't see it.

Is this something that has happened before and why you mentioned it?  I've read the posts about finger prints and bad paint jobs, but didn't know the extent of the issues.

Thanks for bringing up the milky clear coat.

I'm gonna shift gears just a bit in this discussion and see how other's feel as to what I'm saying

Up until model year 2006, it was my opinion that Harley-Davidson was manufacturing a good product, ensuring that production kept pace with demand and backing up said product with a reliable warranty.

My personal opinion is tha model year 2006 began the downward trend that we have discussed on this and many other threads.


What's your opinion ?

Yup...I agree....My 95 , 00 and 03 rk were fine, ran good, nice paint, no peeling chrome...
I was checking out an 07(?) orange rg like yours at the local stealer and looked real close at it. 
The paint and it was peeled, bad, I mean real bad, all over......I just think this particular one was nasty...
The paint on my 07 serk is actually pretty good and so far at 6k no problems other than having to check and repair all the rear terminations in the fuse box. 

The paint on the lil womans 06 dyna is superb and it is a great runner...

Didn't the 04's have a chrome issues??  and cam tensioners?
