Ultra Limited vs Ultra Classic - Is It Worth the Extra $$$?
We are considering trading our Switchback for either the Limited or Classic. Want more two up comfort and luggage space (AND cruise control). Looking for opinions and/or advise re whether the Limited is worth the extra $4000.
We've put 10,000 miles on the Switchback in the last year. Mostly longer day or two day trips.
Thanks!

Personal experience I went thru the same thing in 2013.
So I sat down and made a list of the extras that come on the limited that did not matter to me, lower fairings, heated grips were things I did not need nor want.
Then I looked at what i would replace that comes stock on the ultra that I wanted.
In the end I purchased a Classic it was more economical for me.
Now if your talking 14 and up the decision is water cooled or not.
Decisions, decisions.
Good luck.

It really comes down to personal preference.
I had a 2005 Electraglide Classic. It came with Stage 1, I added cruise and that was about it.
I saw a 2014 Ultra that came with the 6.5 Infotainment system and for me that was all I really felt I wanted, the 6.5 rather than the 4.3. But I thought about it for a week.
In the end, lower fairings, painted inner fairing, the CB etc. were things I just wasn't interested in. Also I wasn't too keen on water-cooled. Just my preferences, to each their own.
What I saved on those extras, I put into saddlebag side guards and top rails, rider and passenger backrests, fold-up rider footpegs and a few other goodies the rest towards the bike itself.
The only thing I really wanted that I didn't get where laced wheels, I really like those.
Good Luck,
