We've all had our personal experiences with our Harley's. I'm on my 3rd Harley and 2009 Ultra Classic that has had lots of issues and is very frustration to the point where I almost don't want to even look at it.

I think I have seven bikes in the garage at the moment, down from nine two weeks ago.
The 2010 RK is the King of them all. Probably the best all-around motorcycle I've ever owned, though even with the 103 (which I have) it could still use a bit of extra kick.
I'm certain you'll love it.
Congratulations! You done good.

Think you'll be real happy with the RKC, both for commuting and touring. You can add music later if you want, I don't miss it at all.

Congrats on the new ride!

I have the same bike.. and I said when I picked it out "I will just paint it the turquoise and cream that's the colors I really want"...I ain't never painting it....I love the black with pin striping...you gotta change out the shifter rod though..its just not "kingly" enough...

I have an 09 with Turquoise/Cream paint was only in the 2009's. My idea is to swap the tin from 2009 to the 2011 or 2012. No rush...one dealer said he would do it to make the deal...The 09 is running great with almost 50k on her. I am in the drivers seat on this deal....can do it now or later....Good luck with the new scoot!
