My 2007 12 Long came home with me yesterday! 200 Miles so far and all is good, all is fun ! In looking for things to possibly gripe about, I came up with this...." Gee, I wish the turn signal cancel switch had a more tactile feel to it!" Yep That's all I got. Oh ,and in case anybody cares, the 2007's seem to have more relaxed (read real world) break in requirements than previous year(s) models. Here's to the new relationship.

I noticed the breakin schedule on my 07 as well. My wishlist is:

* Self-cancelling signals
* Front directionals as running lights
* Hinged gas cap so I don't have to juggle it as gas stops
* Black bars - what on earth is with the chrome-like bars?

I have an '06 Long and noticed the break in miles rpm limits were stupid. Did Buell correct them with the '07? If so, what are they?

Break it in like you stole it..... Isn't that the saying?

Here is all you need for auto signal canceling/running lights.
<http://www.customdynamics.com/kisan_signal_minder.htm> installs in minutes. Buy from American Sport Bike.
There must be 100 different handle bars that will fit your bike, most are very inexpensive. Renthal makes some great ones. The stock SX bars are black.
I'm with you on the gas cap, although I don't believe there would be enough clearance to open a hinged cap with the key in it.

You would be wise to follow the reccommneded break in requirements.

0-50 MILES- 4000 RPM
50-500 MILES 5000 RPM

Of course all the usual provisions apply i.e. No Lugging, throtle whacking, stoppies ect. ect.
