I love my M8. Love the low end torque. Traded a 2015 Ultra Limited 103.

I don’t plan on doing anything to it.

Good plan, I think the M8 is great without mods, just slipons to make a little more noise.
I've had mine for 10 mos now, with 8K I still get excited when I throw a leg over.

2017 limited. No plans to change anything yet. Maybe a few chrome parts for some flat black ones. And tires. And tires. Love this bike and hate winter.

^^Nice 2 tone denim paint.^^


I was pretty hot for that color but figured it would be high(er) maintenance than I wanted. Beautiful for sure.


'17 Ltd here. 3,000 miles and not one issue. Lots of add-ons and changes. I do my own wrench work and enjoy learning about the bike. But I'll say one thing: it's a beast in terms of size and weight. I love how it lays smoothly into the curves on my state route.
