Great input .... Couldnt fit all this on the poll
Not concerned about the EPA ? Kinda holds you from headers engine mods etc.
Looks like you got off a 2005;
I still had to install a True Track on my 2009
No concern for the "Do Not Ride " Recall
I'm sure it's a slight flaw as with any first model year

I love the new 2014 lineup. The motor feels much more capable. Twisting the throttle actually does more than just making more noise, The new sound system is top notch, the bigger saddlebags and tour pack are phenomenal and good looking IMO. Plus they made a million little changes that make riding a much more pleasant experience all around. i.e. gas cap, bag guards, lower fairing storage. Finally you have the redesign that finally brings Harley in to the modern age. LEDS, modern lines. Sharp looking bikes.
Was that one of the poll options?

That being said, I can't wait till tomorrow. Hopefully the time frame they gave me is fulfilled!

I was an early adopter. I bought it, because I liked the ergonomic changes they made. Windscreen, integrated gps, vent, pannier latches, passenger room, etc.
But foremost I'm a rider. Not really a bike nite kind of biker.
So, I really like
The improved handling
Much better brakes
Improved wind management
Everything else is a bonus.
Bike is still stock.

I went into my local dealership Saturday and they had over a dozen 2014's on the floor with sticky notes on the windshield. I asked what's up and they said they were all on hold for the warranty recall and couldn't be sold, so I asked when the upgrade would be done on these bike and they said it'd be a week to 10 days.
Humm, gots me to thinking . . . so I asked what if I wanted to buy one of these bikes but didn't need to take delivery for a couple of weeks, would they make me a deal? The sales rep jumped all over that like a fat kid on a twinkie.
Short version, I'd already sold my 2007 Ultra so I had some cash. With $5K down I ended up with a 2014 Ultra in candy orange with the upgraded sound system/electronics, security system, luggage rack, and driver backrest for the same price as a stock black Ultra. That's around $2K off sticker. Only catch is I pick it up in 14 days.

Someone else stated that 60,000 models were effected by this I believe but only 29,500 had been sold at the time of the recall.
