Yeah, I have some advice for you......buy it, ride the hell out of it and keep your mouth closed while you do. That ear-to-ear grin will only result in bug-filled teeth.

Ride safe.

That being said, Harleys are reliable and trouble free. But just like cars, boats, or anything else, sometimes one has a bug or two that needs some attention. The only work you will likely be doing to your new Ultra is changing oil.

Kill switch died on mine, the only problem if that's a problem. Just quit working, had to use the ignition switch to kill it. The red and gold was my favorite but I didn't want to wait and the flame blue is a nice color. Order an adjustable back rest if you haven't done it yet. Best add on I've bought. Have fun and post some pics when it comes in. Man, I love this bike!
