FLTRU Just Arrived At The Dealer's
FLTRU Just Arrived At The Dealer's
Hello Everyone, My bike finally arrived at the dealer's today. 
All I did was go to the dealer a few weeks ago to pick up some touch up paint for my SoftTail and my wife and I both started to "just look". Soooooooo.... It was hard to trade in my 03 Heritage Classic but we like to travel and the SoftTail just wasn't the bike for us. I wish I could have kept it but I can't afford two bikes and I needed a down payment. This will be my last bike and I'm hoping the cruise control, ABS and smooth ride will extend my riding years. I want to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge and opinions. I've learned a great deal and gained an understanding of what I'll want to do to the new ride and how to go about it.
See on the forums and maybe on the road

Congratulations! I think you will find the ride much better. The stock seat they are using is much better for long rides than what I had on my 2006 EG Ultra. I'll be glad to suggest other mods if you like.
Please do, all suggestions are welcome. I have ideas for running gear and engine mods and I'm going to the dealer tomorrow or Thurs to discuss options. I'll probably stay with the Screaming Eagle line even though I'd prefer cams, a DynoJet tuner, intake and exhaust from FuelMoto and do the work myself. However, for warranty reasons plus I've been promised discounts on parts and labor, I'm probably going to stay with Harley parts.
