Default New Ultra

Did a crazy thing last Saturday. Bought a 2011 Ultra (Merlot/Black). Will pick it up next week after they put on the chrome wheels and front end and the V&H exhaust.

Are there any quirks or problems associated with the 2011 Ultra that I should be aware of?

Thanks

One issue/quirk you'll find is that you won't be able to get the smile off of your face.

Good luck with the new bike and Ride Safe.

Your family may wonder where you disappeared to. Other than that no quirks.

Depending on how you ride, every 250 miles (+/-) you will need to refill the fuel tank, and the button on the right sets the cruise control. Enjoy!!!

You will soon find yourself out of money. Is the only draw back I know of.
