Another newby. I recently picked up a 2004 Ultra. It's a real nice bike, but boy does it ever burn your legs. I have owned and rode Harleys over the years, but these Evos really throw the heat!! I put the Kuryakin heat shields on, but they sure don't help much. Other than that, I'm really liking it.
