I am debating between buying a 2009 ultra with stage 2 (103") completed versus a 2011 ultra limited. Both have abs, mileage not an issue. Aside from the heated grips and seat change on the 2011, did Harley make any other changes to warrant purchasing the 2011?

Thanks

 

Quieter 5th gear, chrome wheels on the 11. No cats in the 09 headpipes though.

 

Paint scheme different on the 11. The limited is missing the bag guards and front fender rails. The 2011 also has the titanium gauges which appear much better at night. 2011 also has AC adapter in rear tour pack.

 

Also, I've owned both. The 2011 simple rides better. Haven't had time to evaluate why yet but I love the difference.

 

Also the 2011 comes with the SE compensator...

 

Thanks guys. The 09 has stage 2, rush muffler, se tuner, oil cooler, and extra Chrome including floorboards, pegs, etc. I like the 09 color scheme better, have for a while. Plus its around $5k less. I think I'm going 09. I was wrong about abs, missing on 09. That's a huge drawback, but I've ridden for 16 years without abs so i don't think its a real breaker.

 

S/E compensator, New vents in the heads,trans changes,new throttle body casting,there are actually quite a few changes.

I just traded my 10 EGC for an 11 Limited. Can you explain some of the changes you talk about like the trans changes, and vents in heads?

Thanks

 

Far too many to remember and type, I would be here until lunchtime..
