2009 Ultras are fat
They have a fat *** rear tire on the back.
The 28 spoke wheels are fatter and harder to clean.
The frame is fatter.
The swing arm is fatter.
The rear fender is fatter.
The bike weighs 40 more pounds so the whole bike is fatter
Probably gets less mpg since it is fatter.
The price is a little fatter.
OK I feel better about my 08 now

I was told 50 lbs heavier.
I don't like the 28 spoke wheels.

I bought an '05 Mustang when they came out... loved the new body style, performance, everything... great car but you know what sucked the most about it...
after market parts... not very many companies made them and the ones that did, charged more than a Harley dealer does for a backrest...
I'll stick to my '08 and enjoy all those parts already on the market...
Oh and I forgot to mention all those first year recalls and service bulletins with a new body style... wait until 2010-2011...

Nope, still pretty weak stock and teh stock exhaust is Goldwingish in sound. Thank god for HQ and aftermarket, I think as long as they stick with aircooled motor they will be weak because EPA ****'s.

I love the new wheels. That is one of the things that sold me on this bike. They did lower the gearing a little. Rides mush better compared to my 06. I was disapointed how the 06 took potholes. This one can be much softer or stiffin it up if you want. The motor is a tried and tested 96 so there should not be a problem there. Love the stability of the frame, wide tire and brakes. Parts are hard to get for now. Exhausts have a recessed area for the rear shock mounts. Most exhaust companies dont have exhaust systems that will fit yet. Rush has a set that I ordered that will fit for now. May change later. Now if Fay will get out of Florida I may be ablel to put some files on her.
