I think the potential for some black on black reflective graphics on the '08 will be fantastic. Hard to keep clean but looks great once it is clean. I love my '04 but this has me thinking it is time to give it a stable mate. Was considering the Connie but have read some stuff that is changing that for now.

 
Don't know if it's 100% reliable, but dealer's owner gave me their internal newsletter on the '08 release, and both A and AE bikes show with the same silver 'waistline' on the pictures.

As far as changes, alternator capacity wasn't mentioned; just new grips, blacked-out gauge trim, new ABS system, new wheels with new ABS 'ring', and new clutch/shift mechanism and redesigned hand shift lever on the AE. We'll know soon enough. Later.
