Default Bike is in.......

Bought a new 2012 Ultra Limited and it's sitting at the dealer.... Waiting for the painted inner fairing. My first Harley and the weather in the northeast is getting to be phenomenal and I am ready to ride. I'll give it one more week then I'm gonna have to get it and ride. Or do I wait?? Damn!!!! Decisions, decisions.

You'll love the painted inner fairing. It should be standard on the Ultra models. Pulls the dash, tank and outer fairing all into one classy look. We'll have to wait for more nice weather and some rain up north. Still a lot of crap on the roads here.

Go get your bike and ride the tires off it. When the inner comes in, take your bike in and get it swapped. Never miss a chance to ride, it's something you can never get back!
