after riding it in my first year i came to the conclusion thjat it was built for more of a weekend rider with some supioior components.
but to take it as a seriously riding daily bike the cheap no name lights, shocks, weak rear noy made for 2 up rear fender and korean roadmax trannie was not going to keep up with the torque/ vibration/ road conditions.
i paid to much.
but as a base to work from and the warranty in place, which i did get the other than original owners to honor, i began to rebuild.
please note the bike always had a superior handling aspect to it even with the 300 rear, and it felt like it had the ability to be a monster as it looked to be but it was going to have to be upgraded to put out what a riders rider or travelering rider would demand.
even as a weekend rider night rides would require real lighting and chance of a wet ride, would require qaulity tail lights.
got a baker now-torque box- shocks failed twice- shotguns are on order headlight is an old fatboy shell with visor from a swap and the dakota digital instruments got toasted on one of the shock failures- will opt for analogs.
i have since called ultra after i found out that the original owner/founder was back involved and spoke to karsons- he was somewhat helpful and might have made a difference on getting some restitution from roadmax.
there is mor to do and i still feel i paid to much and used the wrong long island dealer who trashed my enclosed primary when i called to pick it up after i left without it and reply from a person on the phone states that after 30 days they were not obligated to hold on it.
after spending 30000. not one phone call to see how the bike was runing.
screw him.
i might small claim him for the porimary we'll see.
but the fact that ULTRA does not have a dealer base or confident fan base dealers just will just want them off there hands with no threat of retaliation from ULTRA.
thats all for now folks
