Default Finally pulled the trigger! '05 EG Ultra

After a couple weeks of looking and looking and a great deal of help from the good folks here, I have found and purchased an 05 EG Ultra in Lava Sunglow! It has 37K miles and is in excellent condition. Python exhaust, Harley Davidson Hand Grips, Rider back rest and a Chrome Center Stand. Thanks again for all the help. First thing I'm going to do is get the cam chain tensioners checked, PO never checked them in the last 5 years..... Next will be all the fluids. Supposedly done 6 months ago but I like to know for sure and know whats in there. Anything else I need to do right away?

Just routine stuff. Check your brake pads, take a look at the drive belt, check neck bearing fall away, color/condition of brake fluid, stuff like that

I had a 05 eglide, fantastic bike. I had 28k on it when I just went ahead and did the hydraulic tensioner upgrade with high flow oil pump. When they showed me the original tensioners they had started to pit and show hair line cracks. So just be aware that unless someone has taken care of them, its going to need addressing soon.

Very good idea to get them looked at. I changed mine at 50k miles.
