The best pointer I can give you is DON'T SELL IT.

Ask me how I know (I'm on my 4th Uly).

What year , check wheel bearings often you can replace cheaply on your own , get service manual bible , ecmspy download you can do diagnostics and tps reset for free ,change fluids often best oil you can afford, get rider comfort kit if not already installed (right side scoop, heat sheild ,under seat duct)and don't beat on it

Much appreciiated ...

It's an 07 .. I don't intend to sell it ... Very impressed with it ...

I've already got the ECMSpy, and remapped it, a lot smoother now, did the TPS as well, ... A really fine bike, ....

Where can I get the comfort kit from please... and also I'm wondering about the exhaust mod for the flap ... And maybe even another exhaust, where can I get the Service manual from ...
Thanks Guys ...

michael: happy for you on the Uly purchase. one of the most comfortable fun bikes ever built. and a hell of alot of bang for the buck.

Where can I get the comfort kit from please...

your local H-D dealer

And maybe even another exhaust,

google randy hawkins....google hawk exhaust. he's in GA. alot of sound and performance for under $200. he's a board member...AMA hall of fame member and a wonderful guy.

where can I get the Service manual from

Amen to Hawk and Randy. I just reinstalled my modified can last week and am now waiting for the snow to melt enough to really try it out. But I have never, ever received better, more comprehensive service from anyone, anywhere. He is as everyone here describes him: a perfect gentleman who really knows his Buells. I too am fairly new to my Uly Goose (Last August) but I am very impressed so far with this truly unique and versatile bike. My experience here has also been positive; the regulars here are eager to help and knowledgeable. Have fun and enjoy being honestly different.
