Just like to say hello, new to forum, buying a 06 Ultra, white ( hence the name Casper)
A little background, been riding since 16 yrs old, have owned a slew of brands, but 18 Harley's, new one will be 19. Into touring now, have been riding Wings lately ( 02, 04 05) but returning to the Ultra, It fit be better, the ergo's a easier on my knees. Have owned three Ultras and one classic, so not new to the Harley touring models.
One question???? I have heard they have been having problems with the new Harmon Kardon radio system, is this correct??? My friend has had to replace his twice.
Casper,
Welcome. I know you will love your new ride. I purchased an 06 Street Glide and have had no problems with the radio. I upgraded the speekers with the ones from Hog Tunes and it sounds great.
Good Luck.
Tom
Welcome to the forum Casper. I've read a number of posts on here from various folks who have described the display going out, CD skipping badly or the CD not ejecting. Do a search and you should be able to get more info.
