Default New Ultra Owner

Hey All,

Took ownership of a leftover 2010 Ultra Classic today, (black over silver). Very different feel compaired to the 2007 RKC, most noticeable is the weight of the front end and slow maneuvers. Not to much I can say except I'm on cloud 9.

Dave

Well Done! Hope you got a cracker of a deal as well. I bought my 09 UC as a runout 2 weeks before the 2011's hit the dealers here in Oz last September.
Heck of a deal buying that way, plus nearly a year has gone by in teh model run to get the bugs out of them and show up deficiencies if any..

Congrats on the new bike. I moved from Softie to Ultra and in some respects i'm still getting used to the differences, al good though.

Dave_E: Congrats!!! Yes, there is quite a character change from the RK to the UC. Doesn't seem as nimble at first. You'll master the change in no time. Enjoy the ride!

My 2007 Ultra seems to be eating batteries. Bought a new battery Saturday, leave it set for 2 days because of killer storms and a flat dead battery. Do we think something is amiss or is this normal for an Ultra?
