Got an email yesterday from the salesperson (Chuck) whom I had bought my 06LE . He just got in a 08 Black/Gray. I stopped by after work (7pm). It was dark and the bike was outside (he later brought it inside for the night). Some observations:
1) The color was not black. It looked more like a dark metallic gray. I reminded me of an 05LE. It looked good.
2) The engine was very quiet (he started it up outside). Much quieter than my 06LE.
3) The new "shovel" appears to be held on by four screws. "Shovel" mods will be much easier now.
4) I sat on the bike. It felt like my 06LE.
5) I liked the look of the front. I'm still not sure about the new tail.
I didn't have much time with the bike (they closed shop at 7:30pm and it was outside in the low light conditions most of the time I was looking at it). So, I can't comment on the other changes much. I'll be stopping by this weekend to check it out a little more (if it isn't sold...)
If anyone in CT is interested, the dealer is:
