Default Shift pattern on an 08 Ultra
Can anyone tell me what the shift pattern on an 08 Ultra Classic is. I'm going to test ride one and would like to know before hand.

If you have to ask, maybe, just maybe, you should be considering life's other choices.Look into an automatic, I here they are easier to shift.

It is one down 5 up. Do not be discouraged. The ULTRA ia the worlds finest touring rig and will do more than its share of the work. GOOD LUCK and I hope you enjoy the ride.
