Yes, the '14 has that strap instead of the old style cable looking one.
But it is still a retractable strap, and seems to be much stronger feeling than the previous version.

The difference between an 11 and a 14 is the amount of payments you have left.
But I have heard that if your use Amsoil that your payments go away.
Some people buy new cars every year too.

If it is within their budget, then nothing wrong with that.
People work for a living in order to live the lifestyle they want.

Remember, the economy is not in the tank for everyone.

Would the SG with a tour-pack feel the same to her? I'm thinking if I get the SG, it can kinda be 3 bikes in 1 if I get a back rest and tour pack and couple of seats? Thoughts? We ride mostly 2 up, but I really would like a bike that looks good riding 1up too like a stock looking SG. Help!!!
Yes, she will notice a difference.

But you can make changes to lesson that effect.
I've added 13" HD Premium Hand Adjustable shocks to mine, along with the chopped tour pack.
Wife even commented on how much better the ride was than the factory 12" air shocks.

But it will still never be as roomy as the new '14 Limited.

Take her out on one and it sounds as if you will be signing papers when you return.....

No brainer, get the Limited. Harley is going to come out with a detach kit that uses the holes in the saddlebag filler panels for signals, you can bet on that. Or you could always add rear facing LED strips under the bottoms of the bags & wire them in yourself. You'll be getting the best of both worlds, more comfort, more features, and the total cost will be way less than it would be to add those things to a Street Glide.

Alright, I'm convinced! I'm totally going for a new Limited. The only thing stopping me now is I want to see the Charcoal Pearl / Vivid Black in person before I take the leap. Who wants to buy my 2011 Limited?

Local dealer here (Biggs) got one and it sold within hours. Better be quick. It is an awesome color combo. Especially if you are an Oakland Raiders fan!

Raiders? Dude, don't ruin that color for me. It's NOT silver & black.

I just wish I was in the market for a 2 year old Limited.
