Pacific Blue Pearl

Hey Mike,
I have not seen the Pacific Blue Pearl out in the sunlight, but it looks like a color that the sun will really pop.

Do you have to squint to look at yours when it is a sunny day?

2008 Bikes

Hey all, I inspected the 2008's with ABS closely today. They do have independent ABS for the front and rear. The front control box is in front under the tank and the rear is under one of the side covers. Evidently the new Delphi control unit is small enough that they did not have to put it in a sadd...

(AP) - Auto-parts maker Delphi Corp. said Wednesday it has secured a contract to supply anti-lock braking systems for two Harley-Davidson Inc. motorcycle lines. The braking systems will be available on Harley's Touring and VRSC bikes beginning with the 2008...

ABS

One of the videos that describes how it works talked about the pulsing in both the peddle and lever.

If it's only the front, that's fine with me but it sounded like it was a seperate unit for front and rear.

ABS

Hey there, I got some literature from the dealer. It says that the bikes have Independent ABS. Also at the Harley web page they have some videos describing the ABS. It says that under a quick braking event (I hate those) the rider would experience pulsing in the brake peddle and brake lever. That ki...

My Ride - Your Ride

Hey, I was torn between the Road Glide and adding the tour pack and the Electra Glide. I guess we have the same "good" taste in colors! I will be picking the new ride up when I get back from Sturgis. We are heading out there early on the 25th and leaving on the 1st. I have done the huge cr...

Good to see the "catch up" happening.

Happy camper here!

Happy Boy

I am delighted that the MOCO is getting their "poo poo" together. Oh yes there will some miss steps along the way, but from the 2008 lineup, it looks like they are on the right track. I talked to the dealer today and have a new bike in my near future. 1 month out. Maybe I am an idot, but I...
