I love my 03 FXD, but I like a bike to give me that Harley experience; vibration and all.

Not an issue unless you plan on doing a lot of freeway riding where the RPM's at higher speeds gives you more vibration.
I have a '90 Heritage and changed the rear sprocket from 70 teeth to 61. Makes cruising the interstate a breeze. 75mph is just over 3k on the tach, am sure you will love the ulta tho
