2007 Harley-Davidson reviews

After 3 years and 15,000 miles, this has been an great bike for me. I have occasional problems with the starter not 'catching' properly but it always starts after the second crank. The paint and chrome are high quality and the finish still looks the same as when I bought the bike. It's comfortable on longer trips and I ride all day without any seat problem. The bike is a little unstable on rougher roads at high speed, but I don't like to drive that way. For a large bike, it's balanced and handles very well, even with a passenger. It's a real pleasure to ride this bike and I would buy a new one. Show less

I bought this bike new in May of 2007. Made some changes: vance and hines true duals, screaming eagle race tuner and air filter and had it dynoed. It made it a totally differant bike! No heat problem, tranny a little noisy in 5th but the vance and hines basic mufflers cover that up. Sounds awesome. Bike runs strong. I've put over 32,000 miles on this bike and loved every mile. I also changed to the dunlop elitIII rear tire, getting better tire wear. I added aftermarket rear lowering blocks to lower the rear suspension. I had to reroute the wiring under fender to run on top of fender. I rode a stock 2010 screaming eagle ultra classic this summer at dealer and I perferred my bike to it with the changes I made.

I am coming from Sport Bikes and now I am glad I have a nice Harley to cruise around the country in! I got a comfy 2 up seat, highway pegs, and a nice sissy bar and backrest for my gf. The only thing left to do is to get some progressive shocks as it can get kinda bumpy on the crappier roads. But if you're thinking about getting a Nightster, go for it!! Show less

Love the bike. No negatives at all. I have the quick release for the tour pak and also have a second shorter windshield. It is like having two bikes. I'd buy another one tomorrow. Show less

I have read a few of the bad reviews on here and I think they just are haters. I had a totally custom 1994 FXR prior to owning my 2007 Street Glide. I did not want to really change into getting a bagger because some people (my wife) look at them like they are old man bikes.... this couldn't be farther from the truth! My FXR was nice but could not be ridden on long rides because it became uncomfortable, the Street Glide is not. It is great having the Fairing, Stereo, Bags, and the overall comfort. My bike came with the 96 inch 6 Speed, granted I have added a couple of things to it. I installed True Dual Thunderheaders and a Vance and Hines fuel pack, and I have no complaints abot power what so ever. My FXR was really fast, but it should have been it was stroked to a 96 inch with a hot cam, exhaust, carb, and everything else, and only weighed 520 pounds. At times I do miss my FXR, but as soon as I take a ride on the Street Glide I forget all about it. Do yourself a favor and really take one out and ride it, it will change your mind like it did mone... I promise. Have fun, and keep the shiny side up! Show less

I have been looking to upgrade from this Heritage to and Ultra Classic. I have seen numerous complaints of heat and 5th gear issues in both bikes. I have had this Heritage since February 2007 after trading my 2003 FXD and have not one heat or gear box complaint. The only time I have ever had a hot leg, it was my right thigh in 90-100 degree heat while sitting in a traffic jam after riding for 100 miles prior to. The 5th gear issue?!?! didn't even pipe the bike until summer 08 and never noticed it in sound or performance. Are the issues with heat and gears on the Ultra the same in type and severity as the issues with the Heritage? If so I'm cool. I value any input that can be given. Show less

LOVE THE BIKE, NO ISSUES OTHER THAN THE HEAT FROM THE REAR CYLINDER BUT THAT CAN BE FIXED EASILY! Show less

I have only been riding for 8 years and this is my 3rd bike. It is an awesome ride and with the 110 kit added at the dealer, it has the kind of power I was looking for in a touring bike. I have nothing but praise for the customer service I have received and I would reccommend this bike to anyone. Show less

I recently purchased a Road Glide. I had rode a couple of new stock 08 models. I liked the ride and feel of the 08 but I have to have the loud pipes and ape hangers. The used model had all this on it and 13000 miles. I also got the 103 motor, with true duals, and race tuner. The 96 inch motor with six speed was not bad that I drove, but it wasn't all that people made it out to be. The 103 is a better option. I think riders looking to compare this to any sport import will be disappointed. It's apples and oranges. I would have gone along with the 96 inch motor but when I saved a few thousand and got more for my money, why not? I have not heard the 5th gear whine. I have noticed I do listen closer to the transmission. I think this has more to do with less wind. I never rode a bike with windsheild and fairing. I did test ride Electra and Street Glide and found this more comfortable for my size. The motor does put out some heat at stop and go traffic. I don't do a lot of that so not an issue. I also think it's important to keep in mind it's an air cooled bike so it should be expected. The bike to me feels like a tour bike, but will also be great for day rides. I plan to ride it on vacation next month putting on 3000 miles, with the wife on back. I do hear that most riders go thru various wind shields. I have a klock works wind shield. It allows the bugs to fly over head and for me to feel the right amount of wind. I did not like the stock look or trying to look thru or over it. Besides that's what makes Harleys great - dressing them the way you want. I have had a few Harleys and will proably buy another Road Glide when I wear this one out. Show less

There may be a few folks out there that believe they may not want a 2007. Well it's going to be 3 model years soon. My bike has not giving me one problem. I do take good care of it. That is not hard to do. Heat is an issue. HD big twin and stock exhaust is a cooker! Any big twin is going to be hot. As long as a air cooled mill is moving foward it is OK. This bike is still stock. I will maybe one day spend the scratch to up grade it. But if if ain't broke don't fix it. Show less
