Thanks for all your replies it has helped. Seems like I was getting worried over nothing many M8 owners here very happy with there bike's. Now I have to decide what bike I will end up with, have my eye on a 2019 Low Rider but now I have also found a low k's 2017 Heritage Softail one of the last of the twin cams. Yep I know chalk and cheese Low Rider or Heritage but both very nice bike's cheers.
not keen on the sportglide mate ?
Hi guys. Just a quick question. We have all heard about some of the sumping issues on the M8's but does it affect all the new Softail range or just the touring bike's. I have test ridden a few the new Softail models and I do like them. Of course if you talk to any Harley dealer and ask questions about the sumping issues they say there is no such thing on the Softail range of bike's and the sumping issues doesn't affect the 107 motors I like to find out if that's true or not. Ok just looking at a 2019 Low Rider it's standard except for the pipes but I can't get this sumping issue out of my mind so I have held off getting serious about buying this bike so far. Btw I also heard some of the M8's have blown rear head gaskets anyone no if this is true or false cheers.
Looked at buying a new Fatboy in November last year. Asked the question about the sumping to the salesguy, who was until recently the shops mechanic. He said the sumping only affected the tourers and not the softtails. He explained why but I've forgotten what he said as I didn't buy the bike.
