Definitely has a different feel to it than the 07.

When you get into the twisties that new frame will really shine.

Great color on that Ultra! Does it feel top heavy at all compared to your Street Glide?

Yes, I've already had it out on the twisties, straights, and just about everything else . I feel like I've been riding it for years. Very similar to the 07, but has a steadier feel to it. I actually never felt unsteady on the Street Glide, but once I got on this thing I could tell a big difference. I test rode the 2012 Street Glide, Road Glide, and Ultra. I HATED riding the Road Glide, but the Street Glide and Ultra were both great.

It only feels top heavy when I'm lifting it off the stand. I don't know why it feels so much heavier? The only extra weight on the front is the lowers and those can't weigh too much.

When riding I definitely feel like I'm sitting on a more even plane without the one inch lowering of the SG, but it feels great. I can't feel the trunk in the back at all.

That color is outstanding. I was looking at a White Ultra today when picking up some parts.
