The Decision has been made....
« on: January 24, 2007, 11:26:47 PM »

Quite a few of you have contributed to my earlier thread on if I had decided on the right CVO.  In case you want to catch up, please check out this thread:

http://flhrsei.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1169333372

Well, after much thought, reading all of your comments, checking out various websites, talking to many dealers and friends, I finally decided to go with what I really want.   I chose to put a deposit down on the B/O FLHTCUSE2.   I really love the SERK  (had to say that to keep Hoist off my back ;D), but I always kept going back to the Ultra and all the cool stuff it had along with the comfort that it provides on the long haul rides!!  I told the dealer where I had the deposit on the SERK that I will bring my Heritage up and get my 10K service done to chew up some of (most of) the $500 deposit.  He is a really great guy that I highly recommend to any of you in the Wichita Falls area.  I also know where you can get a SERK at MSRP [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] if anyone is looking.

Thanks to all who provided feedback either way.  There really is no right or wrong choice, just had to decide which one I  want at this time.  I'll keep the Heritage to satisfy my need for a quick change, but I feel it may not be too long for the garage.

Once I decided on the Ultra, it was a tough hunt to :

1) find a store that had them available, and
2) find one that would sell it at a fair price.

I have to give a shout out to the members who recommeded dealers to contact (from the previous thread above).  The ones I did contact were all great and tried to help as best they could.  Most did not have any in, or receipt was in the May/June time frame.

The dealer that earned the business was none other than our own KentuckyHarleyDude.  I spoke to Bubba and his sales rep and they were very informative and helpful.  Pricing is great as well as the bennies of buying some chrome and other goodies at delivery.  Scott, thanks again for all of your help and I look forward to working with you and your staff.

I will actually be at the store next Monday to meet my salesperson (Chris) and get to know the staff at Four Rivers HD in Paducah, KY.  It's only a couple of hours drive from my company's corporate headquarters and I am in town usually twice a month.  They will probably get sick of seeing and talking to me since delivery is not until late March.  I may have to bring Howie (Hoist) in for a consult [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Now all the fun stuff starts.  What and when to add "stuff". I also have to decide on whether to trailer it back home (about 660 miles) or have it shipped.  I also have to get busy reading all of the threads in the Ultra section now too!!

Thanks again for the advice and I'll try to document my delivery as well as Hoist did his...well maybe not quite as intense. ;D  Just kidding bro'....I share your enthusiasm.  Makes you feel like its Christmas time again, just a little more expensive [smiley=drink.gif]

Congratulations Cobaltman!

I understand the reasons for this choice but
Are you sure that it's the best colors ?  :-/
Do you have seen a R/B Jester ? [smiley=cherry.gif]
Mrs WeCvo would say that it's the most beatiful colours and I agree.
 [smiley=oops.gif]
STOP -
Your choice is the best and your bike will be nice.  [smiley=drink.gif]

 [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] COngratulations for coming to a decision that just sits well with you, BEFORE you had the bike you were not 100% behind.  I know the Road King is great, we have one in the garage that gets used as back up when one of us has a bike down or when company comes in and wants to ride with us.  The Road King is indeed a stellar motorcycle.  But -------- and Ultra is indeed ultra tricked out.  Now if you spend the money and time you can make some of it detachable so you can have a more sleek ride for showboating, but I have found that when I am riding down the road looking into that next corner ------ I have no clue if there is a tourpak/fairing/saddlebags or anything on the bike.  I am just riding and having a great time.  I gotta say, that sometimes I do just listen to the sound of the engine, but more and more, I've got my favorite type of tunes on and so I know there is a fairing in the picture, but it is not in my line of sight.  You will definately enjoy.  I am very, very happy to here that you were able to do business with one of own members here at the KY HD shop.  Great new!  Well Done!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Cobatman,
Congrats on finding your Jester and being able to do it through the forum.  Now watch out, as you can see, these guys are very free at spending your money.  But I'd never do that....(don't forget the digital temp dipstick, chrome rocker-block covers, chrome speaker trim, chrome dashboard accents, and shorty antennas) ::).  I do concur with the other post, get the stock mufflers off at least (add true duals, if you want to also), open up the air cleaner, and get it SERT'd with map 84 before you even drive it away from the dealership.  You'll be glad you did.  So far I've had none of the problems with heat that everyone talks about in here (knock on wood).

Ya pick the best color of all the bikes too.  ;)

I know March won't come too soon for you...it's a tough wait once you know it's coming.
Cheers [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif],
