I’m finally seeing the 2024 Pan America pop up on some dealer sites indicating that they have some in stock. Has anyone purchased one yet? If so, how is it working? I know this model year is too new to really know, but I’m probably going to swap my 2022 PAS for a 2024. I don’t care about the charging system upgrades, but I do want the larger capacity battery and I’m hoping that the new wiring harness will solve some issues.
Has anyone purchased a 2024 Pan America?

My 24 came with the HD Sundowner as stock equipment. I find this seat quite comfortable. I also recently got the HD low seat. My inseam is 30 inches. The stock seat in the low position is fine most of the time. But sometimes when off road it’s nice to have the lower seat when stopped. Mostly so I can lean the bike far enough to deal with the POS kick stand. A potential problem with the low seat is the bend it forces my knees into. I have pegs from Black Dog on the bike. They’re 1/2” lower. I also have Touratech pegs that are 1” lower but I haven’t used them yet. I haven’t put enough miles on the low seat to have any input as far as it’s comfort. But I have a feeling that on long stretches of slab it’ll be hard on my knees.
Last year at Sturgis I talked to a few seat makers. They’re all expensive, but you get what you pay for. I doubt I’ll pull the trigger on any of them because so far the sundowner and the low seat both work fine for me.

I have a 22 PAS and a 24 CVO PAS and have purchased some third party seats. The following seats that I have and used are: H-D PA normal and low seats, the HD CVO seat, Wunderlich seat (low), and Touratech comfort seat low. Note, that I have an inseam of 29" so, I have more interested in the low versions of the seats.
In terms of comfort, the CVO seat is very good, followed by the Wunderlich and then the Touratech seats. The HD low seat is thinly padded and soft so I get sore after 30-60min riding. I am currently using the Touratech seat on the CVO PAS and the Wunderlich on the 22 PAS. I 've put 10K miles on the Wunderlich seat and 1500 miles on the Touratech seats. I may go back to the CVO seat only because I do like its comfort (and look) at some point but will see.
hope this help.
I just got the cvo. No issues outside of the exhaust leg roast feature and the speedometer needs recalibration. Other than that the dealer refused to wire in a sound system... and other dealer issues. But that's that dealer. The bike is great. Glad I waited a few years. They fixed the radiator hose fitment issues and refined the 2024 a lot. It's just not obvious.
No issues with mine.
Never had issues with any of the harleys ive had. Well over 100k on them.

Wowwwww. I would imagine such low RPM on that engine for 500 miles would be more harmful than helpful. Never good to lug an engine. Glad you sorted that out before getting too far!

How far off is the speedo? Mine shows about 5% faster than GPS, but that's been the case with every bike I have owned.
As an update. Did 2500 miles in 14 days, the day after i bought it. No issues at all. Did 1st service as soon as i was home. Didnt use any oil, coolant, and didnt have to adjust the chain either.
The only issue is everyone in the club telling me it isnt a real harley😆.
Mind you, ive been saying that to the sportster lot for years.😆😆
All good banter.

My 21 got traded in on a 24 back in March and it was the best move I ever made. The 24 has a better feel to it than the 21 and the bike has been perfect so far. I only have around 2000mi on her because my wife has been sick and I've been doing my best to take care of Her, but I will be able to put some serious miles on the 24 soon hopefully.
Have had a 24 since December. Just over 6,000 miles (I have 2 other bikes that need love too!).
It has been a fantastic bike. One little issue at about 400 miles, apparently a loose wire to the rectifier. Other than that, the bike has been problem free and has been one of my favorites to date.

Update on my 24. 14 months old.
Its taken me on 2 long trips around europe. 10k miles. Faultless.
My only issues were of my own making. IE: puting industrial degreaser on the engine and removing the paint. 😲
But ive since rectified that.
Get on it and ride the snot out of it.

i bought a 2024 Pan-American special in April 2025 and it has been having a lot of electrical faults and issues:
a code for communication failure keeps setting and resetting: b116609c
while riding the speedometer stopped displaying any speeds for about 2 min while i was going at 60+MPH
c007700c- tire pressure error code while tire pressures are correct.
b231362c code on a Pan America indicates a BCM (Body Control Module) ride mode signal failure
a lean angle sensor error as well
another lean angle sensor error that caused it to go into limp mode for about 20 min
i have just hit 5000 miles, and am still having random electrical problems with it.

It’s under warranty? If so let the dealer sort it out first. Hope this helps! I feel for ya , that’s some aggravating stuff.
I have a '24, it's been flawless outside of having the display plug come undone with less than 200 miles... want to see how quick you can freak out a first time HD owner?
Right now it's deadlined due to trail damage, but it's actually relatively cheap to repair (about $600 for both, another 300 if I have the dealer put it back together) compared to what it would have cost for a new motor on a BMW (rock would have nuked the cylinder head) or all the side stuff on my Africa Twin which is like 2 grand
Need to hurry up and fix it though, I have the AT to ride but I like my offroad spaceship.

I have a 24. No issues.
Is yours a true 24, or a 23 registered in 24?
Some doddy dealers in uk trying to pass off 23 bikes, registered or titled as a 24.
