Bought my 2010 Ultra Classic in late december and now have over 3000 miles with no issues. The more miles I get on the bike the better it runs.......

I had a compensator sprocket replaced at the 1k that was making some noise, replaced under warranty and I paid the difference to upgrade to the SE comp.

My 2010 Road king, 500 miles is making that noise too. The dealer and HD rep both said it's "normal"... my a s s ! Only does it when I let off the throttle and hit the rear brake. Loud as hell! Sounds like someone is kicking my kick stand up under the bike. Your idea might be a solution if I can't get the dealer to do something about it... sucks though.

Rode my Ultra out the dealers door 400 miles to my home in Salt Lake. Wore my wife ski jacket it was so cold. Stuffed my socks in my pants and took off. Had to borrow a helmet form the dealer. You can probably tell I was not planning on buying a bike that day. But sure glad I did. The Ultra's in and the RK Customs out.

I didn't have mine on long enough to have that happen but I am interrested to see if that becomes a problem for those who are keeping their exhaust stock.
My 2010 FLHX has 9K miles on it. The exhaust is still OEM and the bike is in Alabama. This will be the second summer for it (purchased in July 09) so it has seen plenty of high ambient temps. I see no signs of discoloration on the muffler or the heat shields. As for the heat coming off the CAT, I don't find it to be a problem. It is not as bad as the heat I experienced on my 2007 FLHTCU even after getting rid of the crossover pipe and adding a PC3. When I change the exhaust it will be for cosmetic reasons (prefer split exhaust) not because of heat issues.

Regarding the OP's question, I have had zero problems with the bike. I took it on a 6K mile roadtrip shortly after purchase and it performed perfectly in the mountains, deserts, cities, etc. I am finding it very easy to postpone doing any of mods I usually do to my bikes. I think HD did a good job from 2008 to 2010 making incremental improvements to the touring platform. Tell your friend he can buy with confidence.
