Default Hello Everyone, question?
Just bought a 2006 Ultra Classic this summer. My 1st long trip was this weekend to Ocean City MD Bike week. A total of 280 miles each way. I had a passenger with me and felt like i would have liked more power. And one more gear. Any sugestions on aquiring more power and a 6 speed tranny? Thanks

Welcome from Fort Worth Texas.

Check out the power commander IV or other alternative air/fuel management systems from Fuel Moto. I cant help ya on the extra gear, unless you trade it your current ride for a 6 speed equipped bike.
