2010 Ultra Classic balance problem
#41
I haven't dropped mine yet from stopping but I know what you mean I'm very skilled at riding big bikes My Limited is my 4th touring Harley.
When my wife is on the back I have a hard time comming to a smooth stop.
When we were on vacation and I had my trailer on the back i didn't have the trouble that I have without. Go Figure.

After getting off a Yamaha Venture and onto my Ultra I felt the bike was extremely easy to handle and balance but the slow speed manuevers and parking lot practice never hurt anyone. I was in a lot one day doing these and I grabbed my front brake, yup I dropped her. Thank goodness no damage was done. Stay off that front brake at slow speeds and especially when turning at slow speeds.

After you put 5k miles on it and some empty parking lot practice you be fine, as you have ridden different bikes and every one of em handles and ride differently. May be if you desire find that ride like a pro dvd and follow instruction and practice on your own or might want to take class IMO not necessary, if you can perform all the exercises on your own.Don't be scared and over control the bike you don't need muscle but indeed need lots confidence.

For God sake it is a Harley. I would work on my loading it on a trailer skills and waxing methods.
You may want to work on the "Jap Bike" thing a little; I wasn't feeling it!
Now I pissed a few folks off, just do some slow speed riding in open areas. After a couple weeks when you get back on Brand X they will feel clunky and hard to handle.
Enjoy the new ride - Welcome to HDF!
