Default Pulled the trigger....

Sold my VTX - money was burning a hole in my pocket. The better half started riding with me a little while ago and she's loving it. So i called my bud at the dealer and he's got a 2008 ultra classic deep charcoal metallic gray 6 speed - loaded. Only thing i'm working him on is changing the pipes to true duals.

I'll post pics tomorrow.

She hasn't a clue to what i'm doing but she'll thank me when she sits on it...it'll be a lot more comfortable than Jezzebell...

Congrats, I just got mine the other day.

I have a VTX as well but I did it backwards, bought the Ultra first, now I'll sell the VTX and make some upgrades to the ultra.

I didnt want to be without a ride
