Welcome and congrats youngster,I'm on my 3rd Electra now one Evo one Twincam and now an M8.
There's a lot to like about the Electra,time to rack up some long distance touring rides.
The wife and I are 67 and just did 3704 miles in 8 1/2 days.
you have one also ? I spoke to the 1 owner of mine who bought it new and put all 27k miles on it . I noticed some what Im told typical top end chatter after she warms up. Other than that its is amazing . I am going to take it in next month for a 30k service and make sure its perfect. I ride it to work 45 miles on highway each way to work . Very comfortable and steady !
Hi J23, good morning my friend.
1. YES! Used to have the same year and model as you. I think this is the one below. (I get 'me bikes mixed up sometimes.)
.
.
Have a '17 Ultra Ltd now. HOPING they will come back with the colors above. If so, I'll be 1st in line.
2. Nope...........nvr had the chatter you are talking about. I am figuring it is not normal. Maybe you need to have it checked out when you bring it in?
3. J23, I am glad you are having the service. I take mine in every 5K miles and only Graham (or Joe if Graham is not available which is rare) touches my bike. I run them up and over 100K with EASE!! 'cept this one, the '17 since I no longer to the LDRs. (Long Distance Riding.)
Why did you pick that bike? For the smooth highway ride to work? You do LDRs? Storage?
Who I only do local rides, I like the radio (XM), storage, and smooth riding comfort.

Im scheduling a 30k service and stage 1 from j&d cycle works here in Pa
I choose it because I ride to work and its down the turnpike. Yea the smooth ride , ease and comfort of the 45 miles ish one way. I also love the ride comfort and my daughter rides with me and my wife rides her Vulcan .
