Howdy and welcome. I'm pretty new here myself. I think you'll find it a pretty cool place.

How do ya like the 2004 Ultra? I've looked at a couple but having trouble parting with old faithful. What kind of Gas milage do you get with it?

Thank you. Like the Ultra real well, getting to the age where I appreciate comfort the most! I get about 42-45 mpg when I'm on the road, depending on wind direction, load, etc. Put 44K miles on my Springer the first 3 years I owned it and although it is a comfortable bike to ride, no comparison with the Ultra. Good luck to ya-Jim

I've got an Ultra also, and love it for two up riding and long road trips. Still need a bar hopper to make me completely happy, but my wife is really starting to complain about the FLHTCUI, car, truck, dirt bikes, skidoo and project bike in the garage.
