RE: Ultra falls over
Something else to consider.....Which hand do you drink with? If it is your LEFT hand, try switching hands for awhile, and see how things go. If you suddenly start tipping to the right....

If the original post by Bigwhite is for real. He hasn't posted anymore to answer any of our concerns, so at this point I take it as a joke on all of us. Or he is laying under his bike in the garage and can't get out from under it and really needs our help.

This could be a real shame if the Canada papers report a biker was found under his bike with his outstretched hand just inches from his computer key board and appears that he was trying to type for help.

If we knew where he was we could send someone to check on him. This thread has become so amusing that it is getting close to going into thr fourth page. Too bad Bigwhite is missing out on it. On a sadder note, it just crossed my mind that Bigwhite may be an amputee and is missing his left leg. Jus' sayin'.

Damn, I forgot to mention, when coming to a stoplight, maximum brake and if the bike appears to be falling to the left, immediately put on the right turn signal, the electron flow will counterbalance the bike and you will stay upright. If that does not work, your f%cked, sell the bike.

RE: Ultra falls over
Ah shucks I thought I had it figured out but then I reread your post and you said it happens when your alone .
I don't have much seat time in the electra's , only around 4 days and 2500 or so miles .
One thing I noticed right off was the weight of these beasts especially two up and fully loaded .
Now they're a great touring bikebut you really got to pay attention at very low speeds .
I had a stability problem at very low speeds , actually right just before a stop .
It felt wobbly ,one second I'm countering to the right then the left no ryme or reason.
Yeah scary couldn't wait to get stopped , but it didn't stop there .
Next thing ya know I'm holding the grips real tight and have both feet on the ground , damm it I think I could fall over .
Had to tell the wife to knock that schit out , she was squirming around on the seat or leaning over to tell me something .
She can do head stands at speed if she wants to but keep your balance when I'm trying to land .
