Cool My New 2010 FLHTCU

Didn't think I needed anything but went down to look at the H-Ds the day they were going to introduce the 2011 models. Saw a black and silver two tone that looked like it wanted to come home with me so my Road King Classic is now outa my garage and the Ultra Classic is in there. It has a quite a bit more pep than the RKC even without the stage I improvements. It's fun to ride with the radio on!

Congrats on the new scoot - RKC's are awesome rides, but now you've moved into the "caddy" line...;-) Funny how those small trips to the dealer can turn-out w/big suprises. Good 4U!

Ride safe!

Congratulations on the new ride. It will only get better as it breaks in. I picked mine up last september and now with 8100 miles on it, it seems to have more performance and is smoother running. The stock exhaust, yes I said stock, appears to be opening up and has a more appealing sound than when new. I added the Kuryaken fishtail tips and they apparently have changed the tone of the exhaust in some way that I don't understand as others have commented on the tone in a favorable way. So many other choices for "tricking it out" that while I have done many there are still many more to do!!!! Hope you become as happy with yours as I am mine.

Nice Ride. My wife draged me to my local dealer Sunday becasuse she wanted to look at something a little more comfortable for her than my Softail Custom. We took a 600 mile ride Friday and Saturday and she now wants something with a little more comfort for her, when we go 2-up. I stood my ground and said I wasn't giving up my softail, so now she might buy the 2010 Electra Glide Ultra Classic herself for us to ride when we go 2 up. Should I talk her out of it?
