		<description>i own a 2005 mac daddy that was left over in a long island new york show room. it had 560ish miles on it and it looked great in its pro street stance of 46 total rake amer. susp.phantom front end s/s 113 and the brakes were per. machin 4 piston f/r.&lt;br&gt;after riding it in my first year i came to the conclusion thjat it was built for more of a weekend rider with some supioior  components. &lt;br&gt;but to take it as a seriously riding daily bike the cheap no name lights, shocks, weak rear noy made for 2 up rear fender and korean roadmax trannie was not going to keep up with the torque/ vibration/ road conditions.&lt;br&gt;i paid to much.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;but as a base to work from and the warranty in place, which i did get the other than original owners to honor, i began to rebuild.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;please note the bike always had a superior handling aspect to it even with the 300 rear, and it felt like it had the ability to be a monster as it looked to be but it was going to have to be upgraded to put out what a riders rider or travelering rider would demand.&lt;br&gt;even as a weekend rider night rides would require real lighting and chance of a wet ride, would require qaulity tail lights. &lt;br&gt;got a baker now-torque box- shocks failed twice- shotguns are on order headlight is an old fatboy shell with visor from a swap and the dakota digital instruments got toasted on one of the shock failures- will opt for analogs.&lt;br&gt;i have since called ultra after i found out that the original owner/founder was back involved and spoke to karsons- he was somewhat helpful and might have made a difference on getting some restitution from roadmax.&lt;br&gt;there is mor to do and i still feel i paid to much and used the wrong long island dealer who trashed my enclosed primary when i called to pick it up after i left without it and reply from a person on the phone states that after 30 days they were not obligated to hold on it.&lt;br&gt;after spending 30000. not one phone call to see how the bike was runing.&lt;br&gt;screw him.&lt;br&gt;i might small claim him for the porimary we&#039;ll see.&lt;br&gt;but the fact that ULTRA  does not have a dealer base or confident fan base dealers just will just want them off there hands with no threat of retaliation from ULTRA.&lt;br&gt;thats all for now folks&lt;br&gt;paulie d</description>
