Its just that my heart is 50/50 I feel like all of the negatives out weigh the benefits. for that kind of cash the bike should be great and a perfected machine. I had Metric bikes my whole life, and always wanted a RK. Now that I have my opportunity I'm scared as hell. I bought the additional warranty to be safe.

I say go for it, you get a warranty with it. You said it yourself, you always wanted one.

My only question for you, are you getting the black/blue or the dark blue/gray?

I'd go for the SE...not lose my $1000 and put an extra warrenty on it.

By the way it sucks that that would not give your money back my local dealer(s) gave me my cash back on the spot when I was first buying a bike.

Get the Screaming Eagle. If I could afford it I would keep my Ultra and get a Screaming Eagle Road King.

Did you look at the Firefighter Special Editions. I had a 2002 Firefighters edition and wish I still had it. I looked a picture in my myspace page of my first bike and it still looks great.

I bought the screaming eagle and I have had the head gasket oil leak problem. This of course pissed me off[:@] it should as said above run like a lexus. But you know what I love the bike!!!!! It runs strong[8D] I also bought an extended warranty 7 years total because I was worried like you. All bikes have their problems in one way or another. If it is what you want and you can get it do it- you only live once!!!
