Default Just got a new bike!

I just bought an '07 Ultra Classic for my wife and I! We are really excited and should take delivery in about 2 weeks. It is black and chrome and has some upgrades on it already. I'll post pics when it gets here

Just wanted to share our excitement with ya'll

My wife and I put 50,000 kilometres on our '07 Classic, all of it extremely enjoyable two-up riding through out Canada and the western US. Traded so I could have ABS and Cruise but could have put on another 50k with no problems at all. If you are new to these machine, might want to practice getting her on and off, the bike is heavy and if you are not ready for her to get on, she can pull the bike over. If she does, don't hurt yourself trying to stop it from going, you won't win and you will pull your arms out of their sockets trying, it will just go as far as the engine guard with no damage at all.

Congratulations on the Ultra love mine. Watch out for bolts that hold rider floorboard. They can break without warning. Only one bolt per side.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm coming from a big Power Cruiser, so the weight difference is going to be negligible. I've been riding my buddy's '07 Ultra for about a week now and it feels lighter and more maneuverable than my X. I actually ride the Ultra better, which really surprised me.

The wife is really comfortable on the Ultra and that was what sealed the deal.

Anyone know where I can find a good deal on a crashbar for my Ultra? The one that is on it is tweaked a bit and needs to be replaced

Shouldn't be too bad. For what I paid, I'd wait a little longer if I had to, I stole this UC! I already know the bike is mine, just have to wait on them to ship it to me. We'll be out of town for a week and then come back and work for a week, then the bike should be delivered that Friday! We are way excited! I'll get pics up as soon as it arrives
