Gidday guys,

I've recently become a proud new owner of an '09 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I've been a member of the XLforum for some time as I also have a Sportster, but considering I'm now in the 'big league', thought I'd better pop on over here for any advice I might need regarding my new ride.

I reside in the North/East part of Australia where it's great riding weather much of the year so plan on making the most of the tourer. It's pretty much stock, so I have a blank canvas to modify and accessorise to my liking. Even though it is a 'tad' heavier than my Sportster, I'm loving the way it handles. I do miss the intiminators that I run in my other bikes and given the Ultra has as much brake dive as my trail bike, it will be one of my first mods.

Welcome from Malaysia...So your Ultra is just a 'tad' heavier than the Sporster...I kinda like that expression.
