So, the bad news first. My wife stole my 07 Heritage. No, we didn't get a divorce or anything like that. She had been riding her new Nightster for a few months and wanted to ride my Heritage so I screwed up and let her. She like it so much better she took it. So, to get even, I took her Nightster and traded it for a used 03 Ultra. Does this mean I am officially an old fart?

I do have a couple question: 1) will the cd player place mp3 cd's? I don't have the owners manual yet, wasn't with the bike so dealer ordered me one. That is why I am asking the question here. 2) Cruise isn't working. I can get the dealer to fix it but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing something wrong. Turn it on and press the button in? That simple, correct?

So far, great. Best part is that my soon-to-be 5-year old grand-daughter fits perfect behind me so, following a helmet fitting and a couple other pieces of gear, she was able to take her first big ride. She loved it and the smile on her face was worth every penny the bike cost. To hear her singing to the radio while behind me was priceless. She was getting tired of trips around the block because she couldn't quite reach the adjustable pegs. No highway riding for her yet but at least she can ride with me to get ice cream.

 

That sounds like a win win situation to me.

Question 1)
I don't have a clue on the 03s sorry

Question 2)
On my 08 you slide the cruise button to the right to enage. You do not push the button.
To resume speed you slide it to the left.
I hope that is all that is wrong with yours. You will love the cruise.

 

Thanks for replying so quickly Texas.

1) Thanks anyway. I will try burning something late tonight when I get home.

2) I tried that also with no luck. I there an icon or something that should show up in the clock display when the cruise is engaged?

 

The throttle cable is a very common failure for cruise controls. Look for two wires that plug into the cable on right side of the frame in front of the gas tank. Disconnect the two wires and go for a ride and try it again. If the cruise kicks on, you need a new cable, about $35 I think. You can continue to use the cruise without the wires connected, but you won't have the safety of disengaging the system with the throttle.

There is a light in the speedo that comes on when cruise is engaged.

 

Thanks bullseye.

 

I'm just guessing and I mean guessing. But, I would think that the mp3 capability had not yet come out yet.

Once again this is just a guess, I could very much be wrong. (I have been known to be wrong once or twice in my life)

"Does this mean I am officially an old fart?"

Let's see...wife stole your ride...riding an Ultra....grandkid on the back...

Yup!
But that may be just fine. It is with me.

 

If you are asking if there is a MP3 player audio cord plug in, there was not one on the 03's and the cruise light will be the cap letter "C". I believe it is a green light.

 

Argyle, when the salesman was talking to me about this bike, he said "but it has 35k on it." I told him my 07 Heritage has 35k on it. BTW: someone should seriously warn people about the radio on these bikes. Bon Jovi comes on and the next thing I know, 90 mph. Gotta get the cruise fixed quick.
