Default 2 for 1 trade

Traded in my 03 and the wifes 05 Electra Glide Standards on an 09 Ultra last week. Did great on the numbers and was very happy with the new bike except that the D&D fatcat is loud at cruise speeds. The 09 seemed to run too good (as in really, really fast), so today I had my friend in the service dept. look up the history on the it only to find out that it has an SE 103 build with cams, and a dyno tune good for 100hp/101lbft tq!! It's like Christmas in May! Funny how she was not so loud on the way home....

Sounds like you got a good deal. A good deal in my book is if you can smile when you head home.

Funny you didnt know about the build before. Though I once had the dealer sell me an Evo when in truth it was a twin cam.

Good for you! I'm surprised the dealer didn't try to get more for the bike knowing that it was upgraded...
