Default Goodbye Ultra Hello.........

Out with the old and in with the new 2011 Ultra Limited and damned if it aint another Vivid Black. Will be picking her up tomorrow.

How long can I keep it stock or should I just go ahead and get the Stage 1 now?

Since you're coming off an Ultra with Stage 1, I'm guessing you'll be wanting to do it sooner than later. Just a guess...

Congrats on the new bike. I would suggest to wait until 1000 or so miles.

When I bought mine(05 Ultra) the dealer in Phoenix advised me to do it at purchase with the 103 and then I would not have to break in the motor twice.....since then I have added the power commander and different exhausts and very happy with the results...
