BlackCherry color. I am the proud owner of it since day 1 NEW...In the first year I had over 6 problems with it. But then I had them all taken care of by warranty. Today the bike still runs and handles great. The shop really did a bang up job repairing all these problems. I just love riding in the mountains of Woodstock,NY. Like I said "AIH really knew there stuff on getting these bikes going & looking great." I shopped & looked at other companys for a good looking bike. I love mine. If there is anything that does go wrong. The aftermarket parts fit great on top of the AIH stuff.. I got more miles to ride. Hope to see a AIH club form up here.. It would be fantastic.. Shiny up/Rubber down. PEACE, Tommyfx I like to say, I have a 06 Texas, Chop. BlackCherry color. I am the proud owner of it since day 1 NEW…In the first year I had over 6 problems with it.

Still cant work it out. Other than that why do ppl bitch about AIH...jealousy is a curse. I love the 07 Slammer and they kick ass over any other bike and still do today. Every bike manufacture has it's issues. Bad management was the cause of AIH going down. My Slammer is Awesome !!!!

This bike rocked when I bought it and still rocks today. Tune ups, oil changes and tires.... bad bike bad bike. It's made up of all the parts that you buy aftermarket to make your HD look this good. AIH simply found some the best looking and performing products to build a fantastic bike. So choose a starting point, convert your HD to look custom, or buy a bike built with the parts you're trying to save up to buy anyway. Your big boyzzz, if your bike breaks, regardless of brand, fix it, make it better, and make it yours!!! If your AIH really worries you, buy a jap bike. They're fantastic, they're good looking, they're all the same and they're everywhere. I own a 99 Outlaw. This bike rocked when I bought it and still rocks today.

I'm thinking about buying one, but I've scoured countless web-sites to obtain that information and came up empty, until I stumbled across this web-site. I wanted the mpg rating, as the gas tank only holds 3.5 gallons, and I travel about 80 miles a day, so it looks like I would have to fill it up EVERY day. Kind of a show stopper, but the bike does look sharp! Again thank you for your reply. tejasandre Thank you for your reply.

I had a very similar situation when I first bought my 07 Slammer. Sometimes when I would get on to it at a stop light, the thing would pop and fart and leave me a little red in the face! One time when I started it, the bike tached out in neutral so I immediately shut it down. Seems to have just been a case of resetting the sensors. To me it sounded too simple, but it did the trick and I haven't had a problem with it since. Here's the steps: 1. Turn ignition to run without starting for 60 seconds and then turn it off. 2. Again, turn the ignition to run without starting 3 times in concession each time for 15 seconds. On 15 seconds off...3 times. 3. From off, start it twice- each time running for 10 seconds. 4. Last step is to start it again cold and leave it running until HOT! It sounds like a bunch of bologna, but you'll be amazed at what this can do for ya! Print these directions and keep 'em in a safe place! You never know when you can help out a friend! Hope I just did! Stan, N.H. Live Free Or Die!

Yes, I've had the same issue. The knuckle heads at Ironhorse wired your fuel injection backwards. (front cylinder to rear cylinder). Thunderheart clued me into it and I've since fixed the issue. I also sent my ECU to thunderheart, and for $200 they made it fully programmable. I took it to Eastern performance here in Md. and they dyno'd it for me. 118hp/ 119lbs. torque. Runs awsome now. I have the wiring diagram and will send it to you if you are willing to leave your e-mail. You’re in luck! Yes, I’ve had the same issue.

I have a 07 Slammer and have had a problem with the bike 'coughing' or sputtering when I jump on the gas. It's like the bike isn't getting fuel. If I ease into the gas, it doesn't seem to occur. However, it occasionally occurs even at cruising speed. The crank position sensor has been changes, the TPS changed 3 times, and the ECM sent to Thunderheart and tested fine, yet still gives TPS error code when back on my bike. Has anyone else had this issue, or similar issue. Shop hasn't been able to figure this out for 3 months now!!!! Looking for thoughts/ideas…

This was our only bike for 3 yrs. we rode daily and all weekend. But after buying the Ultra, any long term trips we take the Ultra. As far as sissy bars go. Go to "americandragseats.com" and buy a 2up seat with a built in backrest in the seat. I bought one and it is the best option for a sissy bar. When the wife is not with me I put the solo seat back on. I love it because the are no holes drilled in the fender. It goes on by suction cups and looks awesome.
