This is what happens when you decide not to buy the new bike you wanted. Hard to part with Ol' Blue though....she's a strong running '09 with mods.
Used the HD Quick-Tach kit for when I want it back on. That OEM license bracket has to go though............

Sweet! planning it for mine this winter, what did you do with all the wires for the speakers and headsets? just leave them unplugged and tucked away?

Looks great. Love the color.

You can score some SG wheels and take it a step further for cheap. I did it and love the look. Lots easier to add air and check tire pressure too.

What are you guys doing for antennas? I have the detach kit (I have never removed it) and have two lower mount points for antennas. Don't see any on the bikes shown in this thread.

Did the same thing to my 09 Ultra, best money I have spent, except for the new handlebars.

I did that a couple of yrs ago for the same reasons. That stock front rim is a real PITA when it comes to checking/adding air. The SG rims are also much easier to clean.

I really like the look of an Ultra without the tour pack. I think it looks great. My wife rides 2 up with me a lot so I'd have to be taking it off and putting it back on way too much.
