I went from a 2006 Ultra Classic with the 88 to the Limited. The bike has the Stage 1 Screaming Eagle intake and Rhinehart exhaust. My old bike was mostly all stock, engine wise. This is one seriouly fun bike to ride. I am not one to carve turns to a point where the boards rub but this this bike can run through it.
I have owned Motorcyles for the past 25 yrs but I have not been a Harley Rider for a long time and my first Harley was the '06. Any suggetions about this bike for those of you that own one. Things I should add to the bike or problems I should be aware of. It has 6500 miles on it and 500 of those I did this week. I have followed a lot of the converations on line here and you guys seem to know what is going on.
Any input would be appreciated.


Thanks

 

If it still has the stock head pipes, I'd remove the cat or replace with something like V&H power duals and ride, ride, ride.

I bought mine 4 months ago. The first thing I did was add the Longhorn pegs, the 1” floorboard spacers and the lowers quick disconnect kit. I felt the pegs/spacers were sort of a must thing.

After that I added the performance stuff (see sig). I went with a couple choices of LRS shields. I went with the Mustang Lowdown seat, mainly due to my short inseam, the seat is comfortable and I felt it was another must thing.

Other than that I don’t plan on any other upgrades, or... This is a fine bike stock but it’s hard not to do some upgrading…

 

I've done 10k on mine and it turned a year old today. Put cams in after my stage1 and couldn't be happier. I've had no issues with it.

Enjoy!

 

Congrats on the new ride. Love to see some pics!

 

Change the header pipe to V&H Power duals to cool things down and that's all you really need.

 

well congrats on your purchase...to answer your question...my opinion...

you actually went from a very reliable era to the experimental era. All this EPA stuff that Harley has been doing since 07 has been a disaster. Check out htis link for what problems folks are having with twin cams

My 2 cents worth;
- Get the floorboard extensions, well wroth it.
-Clearvue recurve windshield, your correct height of course.
-Have the dealer upgrade you to the SE compensator. If you are hearing a bang upon start up they should install at no more than $100.00 cost to you..
-If you want to get rid of the heat only from the head pipe. Pull the pipe, gut the cat out of it and re weld and then re install.
-Hwy pegs if you haven't already.
Good luck trying to get the grin off your face every time you ride if your enjoying it like the rest of us are!

 

Congrats on the new bike. Enjoy the ride!!!
