I forgot about that. Cam upgrade included in 2014+, nice!

I moved up from an 06' Road King to the 14 Ultra Classic. Got a great deal on a used 14 last spring that wasn't a rental.

The difference is night and day. Every time I ride it I love it more. The ride is so much better and I feel way safer. I think the stiffer frame and the wide rear tire is huge. It handles like a dream in the parking lot or on the freeway. Overall just a great ride.

The HO 103 really moves but I like the fact that stopping is way better. Linked ABS is so sweet. The bike cruises at 80 and I feel totally safe and gearing is just right for me. Never felt as safe on the King even at 60mph.

I have the small radio and the nav would be nice but for $2000 I'm gonna wait for a double din aftermarket and go that way. I added heated grips, Progressive rear shocks, and Commander 2s front and back. Still got more chrome and upgrades but I am loving it. Just did a nice trip this weekend and every time I ride its put a big smile on my face. You can't go wrong with a Rushmore.

Ride safe
