Default '14 ultra
Very disappointed in the quality of this $31 k pile metal. If this is what HD stands for its my last one. What happened to quality control ? Email HD from the day i picked it up 4 months ago not one response. Have it up for sale. What a shame only 990 miles on it. This is why riders stay the jap cruisers and victory.

Care to shed some light on the problem? I have had my Limitied for two weeks and after 2000 miles it has been flawless.
