went from a Fatboy to a Ultra and never looked back. I love the tunes and all the comforts on the Ultra. My wife would never go back

Default Picked up one also
I just picked up an 03 in December. I can't wait to put some miles on mine. I have never thought about touring, but now I'm excited about the trips with my wife and dad. My little girl doesn't want to ride the softail now.
