Default HD Ultra
We started looking at 07 Ultra's and also low mileage used Ultra's. Going to be trading or selling my 06 1200 XLR. Any info on what to watch out for on a used Ultra? Thx.

Well, if my five years of ownership is any indicator, I would say if the propective bike looks good, rides straight, you shouldn't have any problems. I would ask for the maintenance history and to ask if the cam chain tensioners have been changed if more than 35,000 miles. the only issues I have had on my '02 are the cam chain tensioner at 44,000 miles, and a oxygen sensor at 16,000 miles. Otherwise, it has been a joy to own and ride.
