Default 2009 Ultra Test Ride

Will someone please fix this website!

We were at the MountainFest Rally in Morgantown, WV. This was one of the first Demo Ride sites for the 2009. I have a 2007 Ultra and my wife and I test drove the 2009.

Here are our thoughts:

The engine seemed to idle smoother than my 2007, It may be the new high motor mount or the frame may have something to do with this.

We both preferred our 07 seat, this again is a personal thing.

I liked the Bremo brakes, even though it didn't have the antilock option.

The fatter rear tire looks nice, but I don't think it's as noticeable on the Ultra as say the Street Guide.

Would I trade my 07 for a 09? No. It does have me thinking about how to put the 09 exhaust and brakes on my 07. However If I was in the market for a new bike, I would buy it.

I took a couple pics on my phone, but the HD wedsite is much better.

Oh and the black heat shields under the seat are now standard.

You can do a Brembo brake conversion for your 07.&nbsp\\; You wouldn't be able to put the exhaust on your 07 due to the frame I bet.&nbsp\\;

I have an 09 Ultra on order, Dealer told me It was in his&nbsp\\;first shipment of Bikes. Early next week I hope!!! I have been woundering if there were any changes and would they be for the better&nbsp\\; or worst! This forum has eased my mind!
