Default Two-tone rootbeer...sweet!

I love my bike and rarely see anything that tempts me to trade BUT, one of the local dealers here has a two tone rootbeer colored Ultra Limited that just keeps calling my name. That thing is SHARP!! Talk me out of it please...mine is set up exactly the way I want it (except for paint) and it would cost an arm and a leg to make the new Limited "just so".

It is too late for you. The same thing happened to me and I no longer have my 07 Ultra, as you can tell by my signature..The only thing that MIGHT save you is do not ride it. There are some "ditches" the city trenched across one of our roads, and on my 07 they nearly shook my teeth loose. The first time over them on my 11 limited I had to look as it felt like they had fixed them.They hadn't... The Limited comes with all the things I had bought for mine and more. The only things it doesn't have I wouldn't have bought anyway if I had it to do over on the 07.

Kurt, you just answered your own question! Just remember the old saying; "the grass is always greener on the other side"
