Uncomfortable seat
By (I am an Owner) on Feb 21, 2018I had a 1984 low rider that was more comfortable to ride than my Ultra. Yes the bike (ultra)is bigger and nicer riding but the stock seat is terrible. I constantly get a cramp or sore muscles in my inside top of legs that pull hard on my muscles. I have to get off every hour with some pain. After ... owning the bike for 10 years I decided to get the seat recovered buy my wife (who does professional marine seat covers). To our surprise I could not believe the 2 humps in the plastic where the thin part of the foam rides on. This is what has been biting into the top inside of my legs. What a terrible design by Harley. We built up around this area and now the seat is great. Another flaw by Harley.

Problems but fun
By (I am an Owner) on Jun 16, 2014I got my 06 Ultra as new. I put 79000 miles into meanwhile.
The problems what came to the picture: Stereo at age of 4 years/had to send back to factory and renewed.
It was modified up to 95CID. (factory type) Since that time I cannot use normal gas I have to go for the 100 Octan (I ... live in Europe). It means that the compression ratio is (too) high.
Nothing serious was replaced in the first 60000 miles (brak pad, oil, tyre)
What had to be replaced nowadays: primary chain, sprockets, belt and its sprockets, the overall clutch, All the bushing in gears, all the seals in motor.
Passenger seat heating does not work in 2nd (only in 1st)
Otherwise no problem even during Ironbutt tours. I love it and use it dialy base.

By (I am an Owner) on Mar 04, 2010I have had my Ultra since new. Ride 10-12K miles a years up here in Pennsylvania. This bike has 35K miles on it including trips to Sturgis, Daytona, Laconia under its own power - no trailer queen.
I use Harley services, occasionally clean and light wax. Basic maintenance. Only items ... changed were tires (ave 15k) and filters.
I have to say I am very satisfied with the ride, aesthetics, service and dealership support. I will ride another couple years and assume I will resale for 50% or better of original price when I buy my Ultra limited.
