The new 09 SE Ultra Classic weighs in at over 900 lbs and that's just obese if you ask me

If that thing falls over there will be quite a few who can't get it back up on their own.

I know I can't get mine back up on my own, I need my wifes help Sorry, I couldn't resist
Like someone else said, they thought the new frame was for the anticipated radiator that is coming eventually. What is an Ultra gonna weigh in at with a radiator added? Heavy!!
