Default Just ordered 08 ultra vivid black

I just traded my 06 EG classic for a 08 ultra. I went in with intentions of picking up the new candy red they had on the showroom floor, but at the last minute I went back to black, the red is amazing but black is always cool and in style.

The dealer traded well and we negotiated the 103 hd kit with cams AC and SE mufflers so it would all be under warrenty. I couldn't get them to throw in the sert but they did include the download. Has anyone been happy with just the download? I at least plan to run it this way for break in and then go to a PC or SERT if needed.

Also this dealer is the first one I have talked to that will do the detachable tourpak kit on an Ultra, others I talked to said it was too much work. They threw that in installed also. I just hope black won't drive me nuts keeping it clean.

I have been a member of the forum for a while now, and haven't felt the need to post, any problem I have had so far with my other bikes have been easily resolved by just looking around in here.

Thanks for all the good info.

Congrats, black and chrome you cann't go wrong! Don't drive yourself nuts trying to keep it clean.
I had a 05 black Ultra and by the time I was done drying it off, it was already collecting dust!
Just enjoy the ride.

Love my 08 UC POSE in vivid black. Picked it up in November and just about to hit the 1,000 mile mark. Will be switching to synthetic then. Congrats on your order, now the waiting...
