I agree. I read on another thread it's a $300 option +installation. $300.... seriously? Nickel & diming customers on a $28,000 bike.

And while I'm at it...

Yes, the Limited Low buyers still get screwed out of heated grips. THAT must save the MOCO $100 easy.

It is better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

When buying a new vehicle would it not be wise to see what all is included in the pre-purchase inspection/walk around ?

Can't be all that hard to miss, then again maybe I am missing something too.

I could be wrong but the heated grips aren't there because doesn't the Low have smaller diameter grips? I guess they figure the vertically challenged also have little hands...at least that's what I tell my riding buddy "Stumpy" who has a Limited Low

In my opinion there should not be a limited. Items like heated grips, luggage rack, should be stock on a ultra, like other brands touring bikes.

They have heated grips (reduced diameter) for the Low in the P&A catalog. They just want you to pay for them & for the installation. Doing it from the factory would cost them very little.


And another thing... lol


I assume since there's no longer a CB, you no longer get the $200 headset included for free?

The list of missing parts grows?

I did not know that. It's a good day when you can learn something. Thanks!

Headset may still be there (specs say "if equipped") as the rider/passenger communication is still present is it not...or does that rely on the CB?

Maybe they figure that the 2017 models are so perfect that you don't need to fix anything on the road nor a chance to call for help via CB.
They're that good.........
