Softtail improved, Dyna discontinued (or softtail & dyna merged)

I test rode the Ulysses two different years, liked the 2.0 version better, but couldn't get past the fan blowing on the rear jug. Too much a bandaid.

Air side air scoop ($70) pretty much eliminates the need for the rear sucker fan, it only comes on when you I turn the bike off now (so the plastic bits don't get melted)

It's a pretty flipping awesome motorcycle. Might replace a few bikes in my stable.

So it’s opinion that is based on looks, not on how bike performs?

H/D and Performance can’t be used in the same sentence
And looks are secondary

If it’s ugly, how big a bag do you need to ride it

That’s why I always wear full fade helmets.

This must be some super expensive face shield that fades to opaque.
Very Handy.

Your point is?

this is not street bike, N/A

It was a legal street bike in some needed quantity of a small country as to allow it as a superbike for use in racing here.

As to the fan on the rear jug of the Ulysses, it is tied to a thermostat that will turn it on when rolling or parked. I remember it on during my test ride of the 2.0 in Rapid City '07, and running after I parked it.

Your statement was

Something new? My guess is no, just a typo

Not true. HD received special concession from AMA to run that bike.
Later the engine was used in the V Rod

Well aren't you charming. Isn't that a HD in your avatar?

Gary Nixon and he rode a Triumph

You're thinking of Jay Springsteen who also had number 9 (1980->) but, after Gary Nixon shown in his avatar.

 

[VicTim]

IMO. These new HD’s suck.
Enter , FTR 1200. Now if Indian can pull this off maybe we’ll have a line of bikes in a true sport spirit

It looks like you're getting your wish.:cool

Guess I'm keeping the '07. Got stupid and put way to much time and $$ into her.

 

[Holeshot]

Looks really good!

 

[ob1ventura]

Thanks Berto. After a year going through her I was a bit apprehensive pushing the go button for the 1st time.:laughing Just put 500mi on the motor top end so started spinning it up a bit. Surprised to feel the front end leave the ground....... on a HD? wtf?
