Really?
That's a surprise! Everything I've read about the new generation Vic's said it was by and large a problem of the past. I expect a clunky gearbox in a big sonofagun like that, but from what I've heard on the previous ones like Jerry's looking at they were a real b*tch, especially the first to second shift. Hell, my little M makes a lot of noise. All part of the V-Twin experience I guess.
They say those helical cut ones they've been putting in the Harley's and Buell's are pretty slick, but there again, Harley recalled all their '06 six speed Dynas which had the new gears in 'em. They're on the right track though.
I get tired of getting sub-par technology in cruisers.
