Default New (to me) bike

I made the trip with the family from Ga up to Nashville Tn and bought a "new to me" bike. Its a 2006 ultra classic with 17k miles, I found on ebay. I was very nervous about the whole online thing, but I think I did good. It was at a car dealership. The story is, the previous owner traded it in on a pickup truck. I did a cyclechecks history report and all came back clean. I also called HD customer service and had them run the vin. The rep said he had never saw a bike with as many add ons at dealership before initial delivery. It was a local bike sold at Union City HD then serviced at Bumpus in Nashville. I got it Thursday and rode it from Nashville to Chattanooga. It drives and runs GREAT! My other bike is a 99 heritage with evo, so Im new to the computer, twin cam era. When I get it home I'm going to change all the fluids because the car dealership guys don't know when it was serviced last and I may ride it to pcb bike week in May. What fluids do you guys recommend? Just plan to start fresh with all fluids. In my evo I run 2050 HD in engine and change it every 2500, and change primary and tranny every winter with bel ray gearsaver. Im attaching a few pics

Congrats on your new ride. As far as fluids what do you use on your current bike and if you are happy with the performance why not stick with them?

Thanks,
I like what Ive used in the evo, just didn't know if the twin cams do better with something different.

Well, we made the trip. My little girl (8yrs old) rode the entire trip back home. Nashville to Chattanooga then back home the next day to Gainesville, Ga. We clocked about 325 miles on the ultra. Bike did great. When I got home I put it up on the lift and did a quick "once over" only thing I found was air was low in tires. Now for the next decision, do I want to keep my heritage or not. I've had multiple very good offers on it, but I love that old bike. Not sure what to do.

Congrats on the new ride ! That's a good pic as well. You know if you can afford to add 10 to 8 and someone might take a shine to the heritage in the not so distant future !
