Default Ultra Chopper

As you may know, I'm on a mission to get a chopper. Looked at a Swift and know an Ultra. Anyone know anything about an Ultra Chopper

A guy I work with occasionally has an Ultra. I don't know the name of the model but it has a swingarm frame and a 113" engine. He has had only minor issues with it that I am aware of. I have never heard him complain about it. Next time I see him, I'll try to remember to ask him and get back to this thread.

Are you planning on getting rid of the Harley when you do this?

Hope not.

mulch63,
I just talked to the guy with the Ultra. His model is called the Avenger. It is a rubber mount 113" with a swingarm frame. He has not had any signifigant issues with it. He has about 8,500 miles on it. A couple of guys he knows that have the Groundpounder models (rigid mounted 113's) have had problems with engine mounts cracking and some electrical problems. He did not say what the electrical problems were. Anyway, he is very happy with his.
Whatever you do I hope it works out well.

Default Those aren't choppers.

Ya don't buy new choppers. You have to build them by starting with a stock bike and "chopping" stuff off of it.
