I see everybody has gotten way off line here, now that you've had the Ultra Limited a few months (actually more than just a few) How do you like it? Do you really want to change anything? I too bought one just like it, like you, just had to have it. But I've only had it a few days, bought it, took it home and the weather here went to @*^% (4ft snow drifts and all) the very next day. How about an update.. what have you changed on it?

Welcome to the board Chuckles. Don't know about getting off line. I too bought the 2010 Ultra Limited. So far I've done 255 cams and V&H Power Duals with KlockWerks mufflers (and SE A/C) and SE Super Tuner. Bike runs like a champ.

I really like the bike but I have this problem, I can not leave anything stock. I have about 5000 miles on it and I can say that the handling is better than my 08but only slightly better. The seating has changed (I don't care what the MOCO says) vs the 2 my 08 felt like I sat in it and this one feels like I am on it. I liked the 08 better in that way. Other than that I love it.


Here is a short list
Rush mufflers
255 cams
true dual exhaust
stage 2
air ride
chrome front end
wheels 21" front and 17" rear RC Comp
matching brake rotors
13" cyclesmith bars
strecthed bags
chrome hand controls
chrome swithces
chrome master cylinder
7.25 front speaker upgrade
braded cables and lines
tour pac relocation
Road Zepplin seat air ride
Kuryakyn trigger finger levers
Kuryakyn hitch
Grips
floor boards rider and passenger
durby cover
timer cover
painted inner fairing to match bike
custom mirrors
Longride windshield
custom upper fork covers
air ride guage
lowered front end 1"
chrome axel nut covers
up graded the brake pads to Lendal Z pads (less dust better stopping)
adjustable pushrods
chrome tour pac hinges
adjustable rider back rest
adjustable H/D highway pegs
buillit shifter arms with custom shift pegs
custom shift rod
crome bolt covers
air cleaner cover
I think that is about it

I like the color combo, looks great in person. I like what you've done to it so far and laughed when you first said your not doing anything to it. I thought, what does his wife read this forum and he's trying not to upset her right after a big purchase. If I could get one and not take a bath on mine I'd like one too. but like is the operative word for me.

Fire up a grill or three - Lets celebrate! That is one sweet looking scoot!

Blue is the fastest color.

It's a damn good bike stock.

I just ordered WO575 bars and Diamondback cables for it, as I find myself hunched over a little when I ride. I'll be sending the seat to Mean City here in a bit, and adding an adjustable backrest. I've put GPS on the bike, added the saddlebag guard drink holders, a T-Bag windshield bag, a 10" Windvest, premium TP hinges, floorboard extensions, and that's it.

I may feel differently after the summer, but I see no need to screw around with the engine or the pipes. As delivered, the bike will do just fine loaded down with rider, passenger, and gear.
