I think if you test rode, you should of figured it out prior to buying, Like stated above, have someone with HD experiance ride it, check it out for you, and take to the dealer , ask them to check it out also

 

I thought you said it was limited low.

 

He meant the test ride was limited in time or distance.

 

i think he was saying he owned the strato prior to the low

Yes, and the strato was 800+ pounds. 113ci Big O girl.
Rode around 70 miles today, feeling better about it all.
I think most of what I am feeling at slow speed is the "Harley Shake".
My last Harley, was a 1962 FL Back in 1979. I guess those memories have faded.
Still the low is a tippy Girl, just gotta be careful backing her up. Hope to get used to it.
BTW I'm 210lbs 5'9"
Thanks to All that replied.

 

Put on 5K miles on it in couple months it will all become 2nd nature. Front end is stiff for comfort but performs very well in cornering and braking and over time it loosens up little. Windshield backrest hwy pegs may be better rear shocks overtime will make very loving ride.

 

Good luck Bud, I hope it grows on you, the more you ride Enjoy,

 

I went through the same issues you did. I moved from a good wing to an ultra classic, found many of the issues you did. After riding it for a week or so it will grow on you and you will wonder as i did why you waited so long to get one!

 

Put the TP in the garage, it will feel less tippy...

 

Hi there

I was wondering if you got your new bike concerns resolved. I recently bought one as well and have certainly noticed the top heaviness at low speed ( parking ). I love the bike though. It is about my 10th HD and my 15th bike. I wondered if any of your braking observations were from the A S which is also a new Bike feature for me.

I’d be interested in your observations now you’ve likely ridden it a bit more.
