Default Bought 09 Ultra

Man that bagger was way to memorizing to not want one; I test rode and 09 ultra 3 and a half weeks ago and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since. Put the fatboy up for sale but my dealer decided to give me a little more for the fatty then he first offered… I still took a hit but at least I have what I want.

Getting a Red Hot Sunglow Ultra, with either FBI or Rinehart Slip on’s still deciding… any suggestions? Plus an FBI detachable tour pack kit, inner antenna, and some high way pegs…

I was going to get a Street Glide and add all of this stuff anyway but now just have to take it off for a sporty look, seems easier to me and probably cheaper…

I didn’t get the ABS add on hope I don’t regret it down the road.

I really like the rubber mounted engine shake at idle!

Congrats on that sweet ride. Smart move by not trying to Ultra-lize a Street Glide. Your wallet will thank you! Hadn't looked into the FBI detach kit vs. the HD one, what's the major differences? Perhaps cost of course, but what else? Just curious.

Enjoy that ride!!
