The Ultra is under powerd riding two up. I had to add a set of cams to help it along. Who the hell needs a ambient temp gauge, change it to oil temp if you need to plug a whole with a gauge.

Dump the air temperature gauge in favor of a stock oil temperature gauge. Geez, MOCO, can't you think past your own pocketbook?

Dump the cowbell. Give us a horn that protects us!

OK, one more thing to add.

Make that damn screw that holds the fog lights in 1/4" longer

ABS is unsafe! Releases brake unexpectedly on clean dry pavement. Dealer says its normal.

Fix it HD.

Oh yeah... design a road glide outer fairing that doesn't take an octopus to remount after removal.

They did that on purpose. Takes 3 techs to mount it so they charge you 3x the labor.

How about putting on an aluminum 90 degree valve stem that the rider can actually use to fill the tire without contorting themselves in 14 different ways to get around the brake rotors!!??!! :S

I'm sure there are more, most of the suggestions are good ones, good thread idea!
With respect and a chuckle-- The BMW Motorrad Centre has the top 5 of what your wishing for.. ;-)
