Default Newbie from down under-Which model.

Hi All
New in here and i'm from regional Western Australia.

Its been on my mind for many years now to pick an 03 Anniversary Ultra as I read somewhere they had a forged crank and are considered pretty good, here in OZ they are getting up to $18000.00.

I'm probably only 2 months away from actually buying my 1st HD.

I rode a company 1989 FXRP for about 4 years and loved it, cant see any of those around.

I thought about importing one from the US but the aussie $$$ is pretty shitty ATM.

As I search I see 08 anniversary Ultra's available in my budget ( are they as good as say 2010 (2009 Build))

2010 Ultra's fetching similar $$$$

I quite like the prospect of something unique or is younger a better option IYHO.

Welcome views
Cheers
Kappy

Last year of the forged crank was 2002. At least that's what was manufactured here in the US.
