Default Thanks

I want to thank all on here that gave their advice about upgrades for my 06 Ultra. Took it in to the dealer last weekend and told them here's what all the guys say I need: Stage 1, SERT, complete switch to all synthetics and a set of Rinehart True Duals. All I can say now is WOW !!!! Picked it up this morning and it truly runs and feels like a completely different bike. I am not one to go after horsepower and such, I just wanted my new ride to sound and run like a Harley should.

All of you advice givers out there - keep up the good work. If someone needs convincing about what tuners can do - send them to me.

Mike

Joe,

Congrats I know you was smiling from ear to ear all the way home. I know when I got mine done I almost lost the bike because of the increase in power.
