I only have one small problem with mine: I keep having to put fuel in it about every 200 miles.

Other than the above, no complaints.

I purchased my 08 on Jan 26, 2008, was down for 3 weeks for medical reasons and my bike has been in the shop for a little over 2weeks adding the 103 kit, the inner fairing getting painted and the front end completely blacked out. Still have managed to ride it for 9400 miles and I like everything about the bike. Have had no problems at all except maybe my wife complaining about how much I am spending on it (smile). I retired a perfectly good 2003 Ultra, just had 91,000 mile on it because I screwed up and test drove an 08: a lot of improvements between the two.

I think the color you are looking at is a good choice, it really pops when it is waxed out right. Everybody I know that has an 08 Ultra is loving it, so I have no idea what the negative noise isabout because it is all good for me.

No problems here either.Most of the unsatisfied 08 owners are the ones that dont have one or that is what I am seeing mostly.

Had my '08 Ultra w/ ABS since November and just had 5k maintanence done. Dealer found inner primary seal leak that I was unaware of and fixed it under warranty. I'm waiting for the HD brake squeal fix to come out, but otherwise a great bike...the brakes talk back at me when coming to a stop but it has declined allot with miles.

I can't see a reason to have any reservations about buying an Ultra, your friends must be listening to Honda owners.
