Requesting info for a friend '09 Ultra classic
#12
Hope the price was right. Note that 2007 has the old frame (not as good handling) and unless the gearing has been changed, really annoying because it was geared much too high. 6th gear not useful until 70 mph or so. Also will hear 5th gear whine unless a compensator was added. I had a 2007 Road King and liked the bike very much except for the gearing, which irritated me every time I rode it.
Oh, and having owned both an Electra Glide and (now) a Road Glide, the RG's airflow management is vastly better, since it has the frame-mounted fairing. It is also much more pleasant to ride and move around, not having all the weight of that batwing fairing on the handlebars.
