Congrats and welcome to the forum!
Your gonna love your Harley. They've worked out most of the bugs since the stroked motor/ 6-speed intro, and with the new frame you'll have a nice solid ride.
You'll also find the Ultra is a very capable handler for such old tech.
You'll probably need pipes, AC, and a fuel package to really appreciate that 103 though.
You'll now realize that buying the bike is just the down payment - let the customizing begin!
Have fun!

Welcome and what an awsome choice. I rode one yesterday twice and loved it. I didn't want to get off.

Man, for your first Harley you really hit a Home Run.
But a word of advice since you are coming off a Gold Wing, I thought I might warn you that the proper riding apparel isn't Shorts and Tenny Shoes like it is for the Gold Wing. LOL

Wear what you want. I wear shorts and loafers all the time while bar hopping and enjoy the ride just the same.
