With that mentality we would all be driving 67 beetles. Love my limited and my Chevy pickup

I wasn't sure I would like the wet heads but I don't get anywhere near the heat that I used to on my '09 ultra. Coming from the '09 to the 14 is like night and day, power is better once you figure out the boom box and all it will do it is awesome, the ultra doesn't have the CB alot of guys don't care but I am a road captn for our HOG chapter and use it all the time. My vote is the Limited all the way.

Hello,
We'll after a few hours I rode my new amber whiskey limited home from Orlando in the rain. My first touring and was a bit nervous about the weight but my god this thing is amazing! The ride is so nice but I may need to go back to school just to figure out the infotainment controls. Dealer was great only issue I had was they didn't have a service manual or lighted hand controls in stock. They even loaned me a helmet to ride home.
Thanks to all for the info

67 Beetle sounds great to me.
I went with the UC because I wanted to be able to remove the lowers if I so choose and didn't really see the need for LC.

so should you water cool a sportster. I think you totaly know were im coming from. your just justifying your purchase and thats fine. Its my argument on ultra vs limited and its something the op should consider. And frankly if not for the EPA you might just see an air cooled VW again. Its called Nostalgia and thats pretty much the reason Harleys exist since the push rod engine is 1930s technology. And make no mistake about it. It is inferior water cooling. why bother with it. A new VW has a true water cooled engine along with your Chevy

The primary reason I purchased my Limited was for the twin cooled motor. 14 months later I am happy with my choice. Coming from a 25 year Harley rider. This is the best new Harley I have owned.
