Hi there

 

As the subject suggests: anyone own one of these beauties.. I know they are pretty new on the market. Opinions so far? Particularly handling and braking. Any modifications, like pipes etc.

 

Cheers

I can't comment on the Glides features but I own a 2011 Roadking, which is from the same family of bikes and I have found it to be fantastic.
The brakes are amazing for a Harley, they pull up great and the ABS realy works well. When I frist got it I was surprised at how well it handles, the fork angle and new frame (2009) design has made it a dream in the corners and roundabouts.
Hope this helps,

I have a 2008 Ultra Classic and I hired a 2011 model with zero miles on the clock recently while in the US and didn't notice much difference to my 2008. The windscreen was a bit higher, but apart from that, it was just like riding my own, (apart from riding on the wrong side of the road)...

I have a 2010 Ultra Limited (103ci) and the difference between it and my old 2005 Roadking is very noticeable. The Ultra handles far better, cruises at higher speed with ease while useing less fuel than the 05. At this point I will not change anything on the Ultra as it does everything I want in stock condition, except its a little quiet, but at least I can hear my Led Zeplin CD.
