2008 Harley-Davidson FLHTCU Ultra Classic Electra Glide
What a sweet bike. This local one owner motorcycle has to be the ultimate touring bike in the Harley Davidson family. When you get right down to it, riding a Harley is all about… “attitude” and this Dark Blue Pearl 2008 Ultra Classic Electra Glide offers the look and feel that real attitude deserves. This machine is in incredible condition as you would expect from one with only 18,804 miles. Scarcely broke in, this one has no visible dents, dings or damage that I noticed while giving it my personal inspection and detail. The front tire is 80% or better and the rear tire is brand new. The leather seats are like new with no wear or damage. The chrome is in excellent condition and all components work as they should. The feel you’ll get when you’re cruisin the streets… well that is something every man dreams of and every woman secretly desires. The FLHTCU Ultra Classic is a luxurious motorcycle fully-equipped with touring amenities. New in 2008 were adjustable fairing-mounted wind deflectors that allow the rider to direct ventilation to the seating areas for enhanced comfort. Electronic Cruise control, 80-watt Advanced Audio System by Harman/Kardon with passenger sound system, vented fairing lowers, luggage liners, and CB radio/intercom are all standard equipment.
NEW ON TOURING MODELS FOR 2008
New to 2008 the Brembo Brakes with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) incorporate the latest in braking technology, the new Harley-Davidson Brembo brakes offer consistent braking and stopping power under all operating conditions. Besides improved brake performance and feel, the Touring motorcycles retain their distinctive Harley-Davidson style. This world class braking system comes to the Touring line with proven capability directly from the VRSC line of performance custom motorcycles. The all-new ABS feature is designed to help the rider maintain control during emergency stopping situations, especially those that happen in less-than-ideal conditions. The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving the uncluttered styling of the area around the wheels. Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is a manual, independent system, meaning the rider maintains control of how much of each brake is applied. The 2008 Ultra has the Larger Fuel Tank: Fuel capacity of all Touring models at six gallons. Combined with the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, the larger tank gives Touring models more range than ever before. The new tank also features new console styling with a new fuel range indicator, and also enabled the seat to be reshaped for more comfort. A new Electronic Throttle Control replaces mechanical cables on all this 2008 Touring model. All wiring from the throttle-grip sensor is routed through the handlebars. The ETC enables the easy upgrade to a new cruise control system, and provides a clean custom look in the handlebar area.Located in the rear sprocket, the Isolated Drive System improves ride quality under accelerations, shifting and cruising while reducing noise and vibration to the rider. The 2008 Ultra Classic Electra Glide model has standard adjustable fairing-mounted wind deflectors that improve ride comfort by allowing the rider to direct oncoming wind flow.

Freedom and wind will outlast hard times and I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna ride no matter what! Now don’t you think it’s time for YOU to experience what our forefathers must have thought FREEDOM really looked like! There’s nothing like throwing your leg over the heart pounding V Twin engine that has been the heart and soul of a Harley Davidson for over 110 years. The feel you’ll get when you’re cruisin the streets… well that’s something every man dreams of and every woman secretly desires. So follow your dreams and make them a reality today.
About Harleys Direct:
I have been a Harley enthusiast for more than 25 years and enjoy them so much that I buy and sell them as a hobby. I handle only top quality machines and when I can get my hands on them, am able to offer them at better than average prices for identical motorcycles found at franchise dealerships. I can do this because I have no overhead and only one mouth to feed. My bikes are not purchased at Powersports Auctions; they are not repos or the bikes other dealers rejected. I purchase the majority of my bikes right out of the garages of the original owners and occasionally from auto dealerships where they are traded. I search high and low for the best motorcycles available and travel upwards of 250 miles in any one direction leaving home some days at 6am and returning many nights at 11pm to find my Harleys. I am positive that there isn’t anyone on the internet that works any harder than I do to bring top quality machines to their clients. I only offer above average inventory to the select few who are fortunate enough to "run across" a "harleysdirect" offering. Every bike is carefully gone over by a certified Harley technician with adjustments to all necessary components, a fresh oil change and a thorough test ride. I guarantee all my Harleys to be of the best quality and the cleanest found anywhere with no stories or long explanations. If you aren't 100% satisfied with your purchase I will happily release you with no questions and a full refund of your deposit. I have sold bikes to more than 40 states, Costa Rica, Australia, Germany, Puerto Rico, Arab Emeritus Dubai, Canada, Laos, Thailand and many of my local communities and I do not have any unhappy client anywhere. I'm a very particular person and do this for a fun. I will tell you what I know and can see. People say I'm a little anal, I just think I'm particularly fussy. My personal bikes get no more attention when I clean, detail and service them. I like to keep it simple, no pressure, no sales pitches, no screaming or yelling about "this month’s special" just straight forward biker honesty. You WILL love dealing with "harleysdirect"!
**ALERT**
All of my machines are for sale outside of ebay and I would estimate that 90% of my Harleys sell BEFORE the auction comes to a close so don’t delay. Most of my buyers contact me and discuss the particulars and make their decision to buy directly. This causes many to miss out on some quality machines at extremely fair prices. So please know that I am happy to answer any questions you may have and understand that buying on line may be new to you. Give me a call and we’ll see if we can’t put you at ease. Call Tim at 717 278-1583 8am - 9pm EST or email me at tah77@ptd.net anytime. I will respond as soon as possible. Thanks for your interest!
SCAM WARNING
I have had two customers scammed by criminals who mostly function outside the USA and who contact them representing my listed or recently ended auctions. They will make you an offer that should seem “too good to be true” but two have fallen for it. They will also tell you that they want to do the deal through eBay to receive their protection service, but it is a farce. IF you receive ANY communication from ANYONE but my email address or my cell number I would suggest you do not get caught up in the smoke and mirrors. One of the two customers lost $9,000.00 and the other $6,000.00 so don’t get suckered in. CALL ME on my cell number listed BEFORE you wire or PayPal ANYONE funds for one of my bikes. I speak and type the English language very clearly!!
