Get the bike! You will love it!! My wife has the 2008 FLHRSE4 Serial #1390. She has two other bikes..an '03 Dyna Low Rider and an '07 Sporty1200R...but not sure why at this point because she won't climb off of the SE4. I don't think any of us will truly know if HD will formally acknowledge that some of the earlier 110 issues were resolved..that would be tacit recognition that the problems even existed. Granted, she has only put 1500 miles on the bike in a month of ownership, but there have been none of the issues documented by others on this forum. the EPA requirements have some back cylinder heat issues, but they were easily resolved by Vance & Hines true duals, their V&H FuelPak, and an Arlen Ness Big Sucker. Kept the stock mufflers. I think any combination of that type upgrade..most are documented on this site, will cool the motor dramatically. Bottom Line: I personally believe that you will love the bike.
