On my '15 Ultra Classic, the inner fairing is Gloss Black. So is the bike.
I think it also is cooler with the Lowers removed.

When you say cooler, do you mean "cooler looking" or "cooler by temperature". ?

On my Limited, heat hasn't been an issue. I open the lower vents and its good.

Different Lighting?

I was thinking the Limited had different lighting but I'm now thinking those might be the same and I only remember it being promoted in the Limited ads I saw.

What about the Air Suspension....

On the HD site it shows both the 15 and 16's Limited Lows to have air suspension yet in real life it looks to have a place for the fill valve but neither has that suspension. My first HD and my Limited Low rides very harsh, bone jarring matter of fact. Wonder how different it would be to have air? I've adjusted the shock from minimum to suggested amount specified in the book, after 1K miles I can't feel the difference.

$2,800 difference in price. That will buy lots of goodies. I would like the limited without the Twin Cool

For me its both, I like the look without them and also cooler temperatures. Last year I put a meter with dual temperature sensors on the exhaust - one at the bottom of the front header pipe and one over the cat. At the front sensor, doing nothing other than removing the lowers dropped temperatures by 125°F right next to you're foot.
