I am trying to decide on which one to buy. I can still get an '07 new in the color I want, but the new specs are out today on the '08 for about $500 more. the '08 has a rear isolated drive system that is to reduce driveline noise, & is the terminology of a 6spd cruise drive trans the same trans as the '07. I have read prev. posts about 5th gear noise & changing to a diff. gear lube. I may need to make a quick decision on the '07 tomorrow. so please reply asap, thanks rickster (soon to be a harley rider again)

Ok, so am looking at a route to drive for the Sturgis run. I am only planning the San Antonio to Iowa City, IA part of the route..... I am looking at map quest and found the route San Antonio to Tyler to Texarkana (all in TX), to Springfield MO, to Iowa City..... has anyone been over the part of the route from San Antonio to Texarkana via Tyler (as outlined by mapquest) and Texarkana to Springfield????? I want to know road/gas conditions if possible! I tried to link to the page, but that feature isn't working yet... so, to look at the route, just type in the cities that I have listed in the order listed. Thanks for any/all help!!!
