Default My New Ride
After 73,000+ miles and 36 months, new motor, 3 new stators, 2 new regulators, front wheel bearings, fuel tank filler, and too many other things to remember ( 14 of the last 17 weeks in the shop), I traded my 2008 Pacific Blue Ultra for a 2011 Dark Peace Officer's Blue Ultra. I added the HD Road Tech GPS fairing mount, Driver's back rest, highway pegs, stop run tail lights, 12 volt auxillary receptable in tour pack, tour pack rack and split image mirrors.

Hopefully this one will not be in the shop as much.

Jerry

Good looking bike. hope your luck with the 11 is better than the 08. I traded my 08 Ultra for my 11 Limited and the difference was like day and night. How do you like the ride and the handleing compared to the 08?

Great looking ride Jerry, it looks better in person. I talked to you last night in front of Star Bucks at the street meet.
