Thanks for all the reviews! Like it was said, it's hard to tell how prevalent issues are on a forum because you often don't read about the guys not having problems.
That said, I'm still debating on the ultra classic vs the limited ...
The heat never really bothered me much, maybe a few days in the upper 90's it was pretty toasty. Then again I usually ride in the northern midwest, not in texas heat.
Trying to figure if all the extras on the limited are worth it 'to me'. Though it seems like a great idea I have never used my CB, none of my buddies have it. I like the idea of built in gps, but it sounds like I couldn't use it plot my overly complicated backroad rides. Security module ... not sure if that has been worth it as I never saw anyone tampering with my bike. Painted fairing, gauges, chrome wheels, heated grips, extra outlet ... decisions, decisions

Road Master
still cant get that bike out of my head rockgeezer!
I know you had a ton of things done but that bike qualifies for its own thread with more photos and some details on the ton of things!
I do regret not having the ability to do that to my bike!

Thinking about trading in my '09 ultra for a '14 ultra or limited.
I'm just not very confident in the nav/radio system or the liquid cooling. We travel two-up a fair bit (12-15000 a year) and being confident in my ride is a big factor in enjoying the trip. So the question I'm faced with is stick some $ into my 09 or stick more $$$ into a 14?
So was the 14 worth it to you? Do you regret your purchase at all? Should I just wait for the 15s?
And don't say get a gold wing ... Ain't gonna happen

Don't want nav?
Don't want a radio?
Don't want a Road King?
Maybe you should look at an FLHTP Electra Glide Standard Police, it doesn't have any of that stuff, just an empty tray where the radio should be. Or course some changes would be needed to civilianize it but who doesn't change their bike anyway.
