...and Reflex-Linked brakes. You get that with ABS. Geez, with the diff in price, might as well get the Special.

That's about $135. You can order it.

For me I could not and still can not bring myself to like the pin strips and painted inner fairing.

I was looking at both myself and ended up choosing the special for the money it seems worth it.

I am so with you on this. I really don't like the pin strips... well at least the ones that HD puts on them.


And add me to the list of those that says the "special" is worth it. The bigger infotainment unit, better shocks, abs and security... all add up to more than the price difference.


My B-I-L bought the '14 in Denim Black. He did not want the pin stripping, so bought the standard model and had them add all the extras that the special has.

Would have been cheaper... and in the long run, more back on resale, to buy the Special and then buy another paint set, or have his painted.....
