UGLY

I'm only 5'7 . The stock ultra was a bit stout for me. The 2015 ultra low is perfect. I mean perfect. I feel like I'm riding a sportster ultra. Tight in high speed corners and confident on stops. Suspension,although lowered does its job. Seating and handle bar positioning is drastically different and I may change both. I just dislike discarding perfectly good and new parts.

Appreciate the short stature defense. Water off a ducks back. Who wouldn't want to be 6ft. It is what it is. I didn't take it personal. Oh and F you hot roadkill wannabe,lol.

We'll still like you. I think?!

LOL...Thought those new "Low" bikes were for the short fat bastards...
They musta been making room for Bertha on back if they moved the rider forward and I thought they moved the tour paks back....How big they think the passengers are???lol

big, Bertha Butt big

Youtube just about anything you want is on there. This one we used at work cause we worked like a bunch of cave men. Another fave was Hogan's Hero's . We had our own version of Sgt Schultz, Colonel Klink and General Burkhalter ..never a dull moment some days

Why ever reason they did it,it works.

I am one of those short fuggers you are referring to but I really don't like the new Road Glide myself. I especially dislike the handle bars. That is probably what I don't like the most about the bike, the changed seat position. Not sure if I could do a Victory or even an Indian. There were some Triumph models that I liked.

The ultra low is factory modified God send froM the MOCO for the short rider. THE FORWARD POSITONING OF THE SEAT AND HANDLE BARS are very awkward AT FIRST BUT THE LONGER I ROAd THE MORE I appreciated IT. Sorry about the caps,didn't notice it.

I wish i was taller as I appreciate and prefer the regular ultra. As it is I wear the thickest soled sh*t kickers I can find (timberlands) to help the cause.

You're a good man hotroadking

That and the beefier front end. My '12 was a mess. Front end wobble in 4th gear at 40mph and another in 3rd gear at 30mph. I've lost track of the owners of electraglide between '09 - 12 that had that same issue. And the MOCO claims no problem. Why did they beef up the front end then? Look on any dealership and see how many '09-13 for sale. I was looking for front end stabilizers when the low got on my radar.

I'd called the MOCO 3-4 times about it. One tech agreed it shouldn't be happening, another said its no problem and yet another said keep your hands on the handle bars,no problem.

And dealerships were worse except laconia and my now retired service manager friend steve. His replacement was a tool bag POS, he's gone now. I took it back to one dealership 3 times. Their solution was to live with it...wow. Glad I got the ultra low!!!

I gotta tell you BI, I don't think your wobble was a design issue. There are a couple of overlooked "adjustments" that may have fixed it for you. First is s correctly performed "Fall Away Adj" on the steering head bearings. The other is tires and correct balancing. Then there are odd issues. Not that you had this but I had a slow speed wobble with one or no hands on the bars. I went through everything then eventually found both lower triple tree fork pinch bolts broken. I know more than 10 club members that have or had 2002 EG's no wobble issues.

forget the cave stuff, that's for us snow bound folk and don't you even think about hibernating lest you get your relocation notice to Minnesnota. We'll be doing the hibernating and you best be riding your bike..and bugging us about the warm weather there. Sometimes ya gotta take one for the team
