I have had my 07 Ultra Classic for 21 months now and have put 30,000 miles on it. My wife and I ride together almost always (90% 0f the time). The purpose of this review is to allow others to know how we owners feel about this bike. I have been riding (as a lot of others have) for 45 years and have had a lot of different bikes. My wife and are really enjoy this bike. My mileage is very good and the power now is up to par (made some changes). I was going to change to the IDS and I do not think I need it; there is no more noise than any other bike I have had. It handles very well even at slow speeds. I had a hard time deciding which touring bike was for me. I found it with this bike. We make a lot of trips, some long, and it is very comfortable, even on long days of 800-1,000 mile days. I like to hear my engine so a quiet bike would not do. After 30,000 miles and 21 months I am still smiling. I also have an 1800 of another brand. Other than power, the 1800 has nothing on the Ultra. The Ultra wins in all the other categories. They are different bikes. I added the H-D oil cooler and a fan but the fan is only needed on PGR missions. I did add the mid fairing for heat but I do not have an excess of heat now. I never remove the lower fairing; no reason to. 6th gear was a bit much for the mountains of Alabama but the SE 255 cams took care of that. I can see this will be another 100,000 mile bike for me.
