I bought 2020 and it’s been the best of them all with one (personal taste) exception, that being the 18” wheels. Makes the right a slight bit more firm than the older 16” wheels. Other than that, I love it. I’m sure you will as well.

Yeah I noticed that with the change from my 2010 Ultra Classic to my 2023 Ultra Limited. I really liked the older air suspension. Made it easy to adjust for a passenger without taking the bags loose. I guess the trade off is the 23 model handled a LOT better. I did find the highway ride a lot harsher though. I swapped out the rear shocks for RDS and it really helped.

Congrats!

Dialing in your Comfort Triangle can help get the most out of a new ride.

Wishing you many miles of smiles.

Ride Safe, Ride Free.

Typed faster than I could read. I got the RWD RS-2 shocks.

My bike is now registered and comprehensively insured - I pick her up from the dealership on Tuesday morning - I can't wait!

Congrats! I just noticed how the Australian market bikes have an amber reflector on the saddlebag latch, versus red in North America
