For a couple $ more, go for the Ultra limited. Especially with the 2011, since you can get black (instead of two-tone) and save a grand. The upgrades are soooo worth the price. Especially the heated hand grips. Comfy!

You also get the oil cooler, and the SE compensator on the '11 Limited, and the ABS, cruise, and security also come standard on the limited.

Price a classic with a 96, and then price the upgrade to a 103, add in the oil cooler, SE compensator, ABS, Security, and CC, tell me it won't come out to be more than just buying the Limited.

Also down the road if you were to trade your bike in, the Limited will be worth more because it came with said options from the factory, to any dealer the cheaper bike with add ons, is still the cheaper bike, they're not going to give you extra for things you added later.

Just my $0.02 and some of the reasons that swayed me to the Limited over the Classic.

I agree that the Ultra Limited is a great deal all things considered. My point was strictly on the 103" with wimpy 96" cams. Most guys who own a Limited don't even know they don't have a full 103" kit under the tank.
That's something the Limited should offer out of the box, IMO.

Just go to HD's web site. They have an application that allows you to compare models. Hopefully you can just key in the 2011 vs 2010, and see every single detail. There really wasn't much difference though, so why not go for the 2011.

Other than paint there's no difference between 2010 and 2011.
