I bought one of those ash trays that fits in the Zruzer Kaddy.....I can easliy smoke my cigars while riding and no longer litter with the cigar butts.........

Worst "upgrade" for me was trading in my 2004 Heritage in on a used 2006 Ultra CVO......I redeemed myself by trading it in on a 2010 Street Glide. Loving it now.

He had it on for a month or so, removed it to wash the bike and discovered some grit got under there and scratched the paint. He ended up giving it away with the warning that it would likely cause damage to the paint when dirt or grit got under it. The dealer rep said "yeah those things are like sandpaper when some grit gets under it". Total waste of money. Funny how they always mention the problems after the fact.

SE Pro Stage IV 113 Race Kit cause now I have boxes of old parts all over the garage.

Better option would be to buy the 120R and have a spare engine

Pirelli front tire, what a POS. I hated it from day 1 and can't wait for this thing to completely wear out. Going to Michelin's next time.

HD HID Headlight. Who tested and approved this thing - light pattern is a joke, if adjusted so you can see a reasonable distance, you end up with a 'shadow' or dark area from the front tire to the lower part of the beam. I end up riding at night with high beam on most of the time just so I can see. Granted I purchased this with the bike in 06 so they may have made changes to correct these safety concerns. Bottom line, if LED's were available back then, I wouldn't be responding to this. Next purchase - Truck Lite Phase 7 LED for both my Road King and wife's 883 Superlow.
