    Suzy is the newest member of the Hogdog hog family. She's a 08 ultra classic electra glide. When she starts it almost sounds like a fart in a box of bolts. Suzy has 1300 miles on her threads. When she goes into first it sounds like two heavy broadswords coming together (yes I know what a clutch is and how to adjust). Sometime she slides right into gear without a sound. Earnestine (89 ultra) makes noise going into first, I thought that was because she has 80,000 miles on the tranny. What gives???http://bike-talk.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif

    I have an '08 Ultra and I do not have any of the noise you have. Once in awhile when I drop it into 1st (with the clutch pulled in ) it will may a little louder noise . I don't have any idea why it does this once in awhile. I had a '05 Dyna Super Glide and it did the same thing .
