General Comments:

I will own another Harley, but will never get rid of this bike. I did a 7,000 mile trip this year, and left with 100,000 miles on her. Planning a 9000 mile trip next summer.

This bike is the best handling machine I have ever rode. I am not talking racing; the slow speed handling is incredible. Comfortable on the highway, and I love the Police bags.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I own one of these as well, and agree with the above opinion. This bike is bulletproof. Reliable, runs awesome, handles like a dream. Easy to maintain. And looks *great* on the road.

I agree. I own a 2004 FLHPI. Never failed me. The bike runs like a top. 2 summers ago I did a 6000 mile ride and it killed me to get off the bike at the end of a 13 hour day, I was enjoying riding it so much. Thought about selling it, but can't bear the thought. Wish everything I owned was as good as my Harley.

Summary:

Coolest motorcycle I have ever owned

Faults:

The only thing I have had trouble with is the starter solenoid. Wouldn't start when it got real hot. Replaced under extended warranty.

General Comments:

When I first received the bike, used with 4k miles, I was disappointed. The clutch pulled hard & it "clunked" in every gear. The front brakes dragged when it was pushed and had a howl in the primary. I thought "Harley! Is this the best you have?".

I changed the brake fluid in the front and lost the drag, adjusted the clutch, changed the cable routing, lubed everything up & basically went over everything.

Now, I love the bike. Quiet, smooth, responsive, and it really is "The King of the Road"
