I traded in my 2005 Ultra for a 2012 Ultra Classic Limited. Ember red sunglow/Merlot sunglow. I've been through a few used bikes but this is my first NEW one.
WOW what a difference. The new frame rides smooth. Going from a 88 to a 103 is pretty nice too.
Only a few hours old and I took care of that riding in the rain thing already..
Sweet! I'm soon going from an '02RK 88" to a '12SG 103". I noticed a much tighter ride, but didn't have enough saddle time / road to really check out the 103". Soon enough. Soon enough. Enjoy . . .
Congrats on the new ride. I bought a new 11, back in June. Now, do yourself a HUGE favor, and put some Vance & Hines Power Duals (or something) on it, and get rid of that heat!

Actually jay, it's not the exhaust as much as it is the catalytic converter that makes all the heat. As soon as I got those Vance & Hines Power Duals put on mine & got rid of that cat by doing it, the heat was back to what I call "normal."
