RE: Ultra falls over
ORIGINAL: Tuco
Maybe my ultra is different but it was the worst feeling bike I have ever been on. It is slow to respond with the flex in the forks and the weight of the fairing, add that to the loose rear end and you have yourself a below average handling bike. Just because you bought it doesnt make it the end all scooter. And the bit about it handles how the moco wants it is pure crap. Look at how the bikes run from the moco. Blinded by the all mighty HD.
PS true track helped alot.

RE: Ultra falls over
OK......I'm just going to come out and say it.....Everyone is beating around the bush!
With all due respect....If you repeatedly drop your bike while stopping...then you have no business being on a bike, period! Even if there is something wrong with the bike (which I doubt) you should be able to stop it from falling. You need to develop some basic riding skills before you seriously hurt yourself or some poor slob that that stops to help you. If you cannot do that, then you should take what is left of that Ultra that has been repeatedly dropped and sell it to someone who can handle it and treat it with respect.
Sorry it sounds so blunt....But I just told you the truth. I doubt there is anyone on the forum who disagrees with me...I believe the other members are just being kind.
Good luck!

You might want to consider a riders course or a few lessons from a pro before you hurt yourself.

Oh yeah, that's right, I almost forgot; we're the kind bunch.
Hey, Denim, didn't you just drop your bike into an SUV or sumthin' ?
