Default Now I'm Not Sure!

Greetings from Ontario Canada. I just ordered for spring an 09 Ultra.Wife and I do a lot of 2 up riding.
My friends ride Wings so I am going against the grain but I like a Motorcycle to look like one. Presently have an 05 Sabre which I am selling. Before that had a Kawi.
While reading some of the threads here there seem to be some issues with certain models or are they more reliable than some of the problems here seem to indicate?
Also am I right in thinking that I can buy the extended warranty anytime before the two year warranty is up instead of at time of purchase?
I am really looking forward to spring.

Welcome from Northern California. Usually people complain more often than they compliment, doesn't matter if its motorcycles or walnuts. Unless there is a ton of similar complaints, I wouldn't worry. In any case, if I were investing in a $20K+ bike, you bet I would get an extended warranty.

Welcome to the forum. I agree with Dorkman 100%. Go with the extended warranty though as it's not that much for the peace of mind.
