Default 08 ultra tic tap nik
Dropped off my 08 Ultra last weekend for its first service. Dealer gave me a 08 Heritiage. Man the engine is quiet compared to mine. I can hear the vavle train going about its business. Not on the Heritiage though. Dealer says thats normal. I think they are trained to tell you that. Any one out there hearing tic tap clip nip. Runs fine just the "normal noies" bother me. Anyone else?

I wonder if the ultra motor is really noisier or is it just the sound bouncing off the batwing?

I agree with the wing you hear many things that you wouldn't normally as it blocks the wind.
