..........................Only issue is the right leg barbecue, so I'll be looking at the heat shield kit and ECM flash. ............................


Wait until the weather cools down a bit before you make your decision.  As the temps start to drop I am finding myself liking the heat the Uly puts out.

Are you going to get the new heat kit and retrofit it to your bike?

I bought the Comfort Kit and it is well worth it.  I also have the ECM update.  My fan hardly runs at all any more.  Way cool.

I may change my mind next summer, but for right now I am not going to get the "comfort" kit.  It really only bothered me when the temps were in the 90s or more.  Now that they are in the low 60s on my ride in every morning the extra heat is no bother.  I think in a couple of months I am going to be downright fond of it.

Had my XT for two months. I absolutely love it.
One must-do is the dual hi-beam modification.

Psh, I don't have that sort of free time to run 4hrs round trip for a rental!  My name isn't kendenton.   Razz   Lol

If I went to a Buell, part of the reason would be that I have two dealers within about 20 minutes.  But thanks for the heads up anyway!


Wow, took me 3 months to catch this one  Twofinger

Here's my thoughts on the rental

Just received a quote from a dealer on a new 09' XT - $9995. + tax, tags, blah, blah

Probably a decent price, but not sure that is the 'steal' I was expecting given how steeply the 1125s are being discounted.

No, that's not much of a discount.  The dealers are getting $5K for selling them, so they can go lower than that.

The reason I say that is because there have been a few Uly XT's in the Milwaukee area for about $8,300.00

Believe me, if I could find one anywhere in the country, I would buy a plane ticket and take the time off work to ride it back. (seriously, I've even been looking at ticket prices to places like Rays in Raleigh, NC or a couple of place in Houston)

The Ad in Houston was $7300 for an XT, but you will have to add all the fees they can think of.  Rolleyes

I bought one anyway.

Yeah, steve.m in another thread said there was almost $600 in extra crap on top of the $7300 price + tax

And is it bad that even though I've come to the conclusion that I won't be able to find a new one in my price range that I'm still calling places and checking badweb and here several times a day?
