Well, I pulled the trigger and traded in my '09 FLTR in for a '12 Ultra Classic Peace Officer's Special Edition.......103 is very nice and I'm looking forward to letting it breath a little better after I break it in.....

Gotta admit I am a little sad to see the orange FLTR go......but I missed this tour pack and my old batwing fairing!!

Well crap, now I have to make a new sig pic!!!

Thanks....I don't know about future mods....I imagine I'll wait until it needs some work and I'll punch it out and get the heads ported and polished...cams.....etc.

What tuner do you all recommend for re-mapping? SE?? Dynojet???

I went from Road King to Electra Glide to Road Glide...and now I'm back in a batwing! No comparison......IMHO......I'm much happier with this batwing now.....
