And I got a new back tire. No more Michelin pilots for me. Didn't even last a full season!! It's a great tire, but I don't need a soft compound racing tire on a ****ing softail ya know!! I need to get mileage out of it!! I went with a Shinko 180. $93 delivered, $130 bucks with mount and balance as compared to $230 for the Michelin bought locally when I was in a jam��
I'll post an update to let you know if I get better mileage out of this one. But those treads sure look tough haha

Probably none. 
Planning on putting on sportster bars and buttons, get rid of the multitude of buttons the Ultra had and less pull back on the bars - I have a long reach. I like simple. Means re-wiring pretty much the whole bike, but there won't be near as many wires, won't be any radios or speakers, and the starter will be wired different, but I'll complicate the wiring a bit with some additional LED lights and a battery shutoff switch.
