rear brake vibration

I am the proud owner of a 2012 ultra limited. My previous Harley was a well taken care of used 93 ultra, 90th anniversary model. Loved the bike and was sorry the day it was stolen. This new bike has many improvements over the 93 however i did notice that when using the rear brake i feel a vibration... comming from the rear end. It's not that bad and i rarely even use the rear brake but spending that kind of money on a new bike i expect better. I got a notice in the mail for the recal concerning the rear brake switch so when i took it to the dealer i mentioned the vibration. thier mechanic took it for a spin and immediately brought it back into the shop. This went on for an hour or so before beeing handed over to the lead mechanic. he changed the pads and the disc which by this time was orange from all the heat. He asked if i could leave the bike overnight, which i did. The next day he told me he contacted the factory and was told this was a normal condition. He test rode a couple of other bikes in the shop and noticed the same thing. i would like to know if anyone else out there has had the same problem or have heard of this issue. Read Full Review

Second one faster, smoother, and rides long

Traded a 2011 limited 7800 miles in 6 months. I wanted a stage 1 upgrade, Hammock seat, Vance&Hine true duals with 3 1/2 Reinhart blck tip. and we were going to realflame the bike. 6000 to 6800 more all in. We brought a sunglow/merlow 2012 with the upgrade and no real flames. The limited is str...ong increaed about 9 horse and torque accross the board fairly even increase. Love the power and color and the sound is great. We are a double up familyso the power is solid. The dealer went deep for us the total trade difference 1000 done deal. Could not be more pleased. The ride, The power it is smooth, looks great, and we can run all day long trips 2,3 days never a problem GREAT Read Full Review
