If I can't fix it in my garage then I have no use for it. But at least the moco was kind enough to leave in 25% of the engine vibration so riders could still feel some thrum and maybe imagine what it must have been like to ride a real Harley-Davidson back in the day!

Now if only they'd have an update that would swap the CB PTT Switch and the Odo Reset Switch.

I've been holding out for a 2014+. Now will be a good time to pick up a 1500 mile garage queen

I bought a new Ultra in 2015 and sold it, Too much bike for what I need.

Thankfully a guy's wife found my bike on CL who was negotiating for my exact bike and color at a dealership in Charleston. I did not buy the farm.

A few months of riding cost me a couple grand, but I just did not like the Ultra.Too many distractions. I would have been better off renting one for a week.'Ended up with a 2012 Sportster Custom I sold to a friend. Passed on the Heritage because of leg heat and clumsy handling.

I wanted a non Big twin carbed bike so I found and now ride a 2005 Sportster 1200C and could not be happier with the power, maintenance, and reliability.Perfect for around town riding.I bought an SLK350 for distances. It's my "Trike"

Probably the only one in the world that ran down the ladder from an Ultra to carbed Sportster. Usually, it's the other way around. Small to large which I actually did before the ultra.

I like the idea of the M8 but feel Harley is trying to hard to slow Indian sales which are hurting the brand. From Polaris, I only like the Indian Scout. But I won't buy one. Sporty is plenty
