Default A garage queen followed me home.....

I picked up another early birthday gift to myself. Seems I've been doing it every few years. After a 1056-mile round trip to Columbus, Ohio, I now have a 2010 Ultra Limited with Champion sidecar. Less than 10k on the one owner FLHTK and rig. A true garage queen! $11,400
I'd been looking and was zero'd in on one in Indiana, then found this on Craigslist.

The good:
In August of this year, the owner did the 3-hole oil change. along with 3-new tires.

The Champion hack is optioned nicely. The bike came with a couple of covers. Luggage bags. HD trickle charger. HD hand air pump for shocks. Even an HD kickstand pad. Three sets of wired HD headsets. (non-blue tooth).

The cons with this rig: HD Screaming Eagle tune pkg. IMO - still too lean. Hillside Cycle will be taking care of this. Maybe a little cam upgrade.
And HD air shocks. Buh-bye!

After checking all service records, I have no idea how old the battery is. So a new one it is.

Hack windshield has a fracture pattern. It's intact, but I will replace this.

In the second photo the hack fender is removed as I didn't want it scratched on the trailer. The whole rig just fit!
And now let the spending commence! Coming soon: lowered brake pedal. Drivers backrest. Floorboard spacers. LED lighting upgrades. Kissan headlight modulator. Mini beast air horn.

I just don't know how to break this news to the Ural. Maybe some vodka?

I like how there is no “The Bad:” Sure ya slip that con in there… but come on, that’s just typical stuff.
And “the Ugly:?.. well it sure ain’t the Vette… maybe that foreign little pickup truck I spy at your neighbors.

Nope. Nada.Never! I did it once by accident with the Ural and for the first time since I was four years old, I pissed my pants.

And as an aside, that was the sellers sons Vette, not mine

What a score!
I see you already have a list of upgrades, but the only thing I noticed was that the sidecar wheel doesn't match the wheels on the bike, but I'm sure that can also be corrected given some time.

The Ural cool factor is off the charts. But, reliability wise, not so much. I have a very good "copy" (unit). And I got it sorted the way I like it.

Keep it until it start costing me rubles, I guess.........
