Keep your Fatty, I still have my 98 Heritageand I'm glad I didn't trade her in. You won't regret the Ultra or any touring model for that matter. Congrats!!

A very wise man once told me, "Happy Wife....Happy Life." This advice has served me well.

Congratulations on the Ultra!

I did the same, traded a fatboy for an ultra and I love it, the wife misses the fatboy but I love the tunes and of course a short windshield is a must. You'll love the Ultra.

You will miss your Fatboy if you liked to do some bar hopping by yourself, but if you want to tour with the old lady, well you just hit a home run there, congrats and ride safe.

I bar hop on the ultra, treat it like the other bike. Only difference is I play the tunes from one bar to the next

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys, I'm feeling better about my decision as the day goes by (I was just about sick over it when I was signing the papers and probably will be again when I have to hand over the keys). I'm SURE I will enjoy the Ultra, that was never the issue. Missing the Fatboy was the issue. I guess I'll have to shine her up some and take some new pics to remember her by...(sniffle sniffle).
