Talking New Ultra Classic

Just picked up the new UC and, if I die today, it'll take the mortician a week to get the smile off!
What a difference from the Heritage. It's gonna take some getting used to on the handling but what a GREAT scoot.
Funny thing, though. Picked it up at the dealer and riding home I'm thinking about what doo-dads I can spend more money on. Go figure ;-)

On top of all that.....if the OL starts complaining I can just turn the radio up!

First off congrats on the new bike!

Dude it reminds me of myself; when I first jumped on mine and hit the highway I was smiling from ear to ear.

You’ll find plenty of things to spend your money on, it’s a Harley. The 1st thing I did was the new pipes, etc. (see my sig). After that the floorboard extenders, the lowers quick disconnect kit and just yesterday I installed the Jiffy Stand extender, love all these upgrades. Oh I almost forgot, the Mustang Low Down seat I ordered will be here shortly, that’s it for now.

The Radio thing, it works for me

Have fun on the new ride brother

I don't know why it bugs me so, but I think the first thing you should do to any Ultra is get rid of those crappy hinges on the Tour-pak and put the premium hinges on. I know it sounds silly, but I think it makes a big difference on how the back of the bike looks and my eyes for some reason are always drawn to those cheap crappy hinges!

BTW....you're right....crappy picture...but nice bike!

Congrats on the new bike, but I am afraid that you should have went ahead and bought those do-dads you mention while at the dealer. I'm sure with thoughts like those, you are a few thousand dollars from really enjoying your new bike.

Enjoy it!!
