Spending more money again
I bought the Ultra last fall and at 1500 miles the front fork seal started leaking. Not wanting to lose any riding time I just decided to wait until this winter to take it in. Well I got on the Harley website and looked around a bit, that was first mistake. LOL I figured while the warranty is paying for the tear down now would be a good time to add new bars, since they drop back 2 inches I needed new lines, braided of course. Then to match those I needed the chrome controls and master cylinder and levers. Those wouldn't look good with stock grips so I opted for some chrome heated ones. Since they are servicing my clutch for free I figured why not just put on a chrome inner primary while there in there. Then I started to think that the tank would look a little dull so I added a chrome cover there. Oh and then I spotted this new billet air cleaner they just came out with and had to have that. Then you can get this neat little nut to dress it up so I got that. I haven't even been to the dealership yet to take the bike in. I ordered everything over the phone. I'm scared to go there now in fear I'm gonna see something else I want. LOL

RE: Spending more money again
The secret to Harley's success is that they get you to spend all that money and you still walk out smiling. They've figured out the female connection, too. My wife can't pass a Harley store without spending money. It's killing us. Harley's going to get all of our retirement money before it's over.

Have to agree....nice Ultra. I know the feeling (or sickness) with never ending add-ons.

Groups that stopped while traveling thru would segregate into male and female. The males would look at chrome, while the females would look at the motorclothes.
It was a toss up as to which group spent more.
One dealer had the store split with clothes on one side and the chrome on the other. All the men were in the chrome side and the ladies were all on the other.
