| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 harley davidson electra glide. There is an excessive amount of noise and vibration that comes from the transmission in 5th and 6th gear. I put in heavy 75-90 gear oil and it got a little quieter. Now it seems hd has put in an isolated drive system in there 08 touring models as standard equipment. You can purchase the unit for $305. 00 plus labor to put on the 07 touring models. Harley davidson knew they had a problem with the 07 transmission, fixed it on the 08 but want the consumer of an 07 to pay for the part and there mistake. |
