Yepper.

Yep,,,

It's a kind of funny, the first thing some folks want to do is start taking off the shinny new parts to put shinny new parts back on.
Or is THAT customizing???
But really, good for you and enjoy it while you got it.

FLHTbiker,

I looked at the trunk organizer as well. Seems like a good buy. Need to keep the small stuff, sunglasses, cell phone, keys etc out of the way. Are you going to get the saddle bag lid rails?? I am as I keep kicking the top of the lid when I get on. Still want to swing my leg over and it doesn't work. hopefully I will get the hang of stepping over soon.

The "local" Harley dealer, Pikes Peak sale prices are equal to others everyday prices. They have a big sign saying "We support our troops". SO i ask how do you support your troops?? We have a big sale 1 day a year for you. Ok but what if i'm deployed??? If you bring us orders proving you weren't here we will on honor the 1 day sale. Fair enough, but 1 day???? If you "support our troops" then do it every day!!!! I don't like the band wagon approach.
Sorry for straying. I bought my Ultra At Rocky Mountain Harley in Castle Rock. It is only 30 minutes north of the Springs. I live east of that. SO it is still local. Got great customer service and that keeps me coming back.

FLHTbiker,

Sorry I don't know about the XM. Will ask around though. You are spot on about the price, something doesn't add up.

Dino

Just to let you know that the XM that is priced at $495 is a Transceiver box that can be added, not just adapted to the radio system. You can go to: www.crutchfield.com to look at the difference, and I seen that Sirus makes a system that can be hooked up to the Harman/Kardon system. Crutchfield shows that system for the "Do-it-Yourselfer @ $169.95 includes Instructions, but this system is one that uses the FM Modulator with all the wires to deal with hiding. I have one that uses the FM radio station to receive, and the volume control is a LOT Lower than in my car that has it in from the factory. And with the Factory Adaptor Kit you get the antenna, wiring, and you don't have to worry about the little box being mounted on the bike somewhere that you can see to change stations. Besides the kit keeps all the wires hiden out-of-sight, less chance of getting messed with. For the Looks and Sound Quality I'd go with the kit. Just my opinion.

FLHTbiker,

Did you install the trunk rack yet??

Also, the oil temp gauge, does it replace the pressure gauge?? Or does it install elsewhere on the engine. The reason i asked is my dealer said it would replace the pressure gauge as it installs in the same place. DOn't want to give up the pressure gauge.

Please advise
