Opinions Wanted: Best Upgrades for 2012 Ultra Limited
I bought my Ultra Limited new in 2012 and have about 25K miles on it. Other than basic stage one upgrades and a TW222 cam I haven't invested in any further performance upgrades. I also haven't upgraded any of the suspension. Most of my riding is one up and mostly just pleasure cruising as well as several multi-day long distance touring. That was the main purpose when I bought it and that is still its purpose. I plan to retire soon and also plan to do even more long distance touring when that happens. I also have a small tag along trailer for the longer trips.
So, I'm on the fence about upgrading. I figure I can trade-in and get the latest and greatest M8 and all the new bells and whistles which would probably cost me another $15K (for another Ultra). Or keep what I have (which is just the way I like it now) and maybe invest in upgraded suspension and perhaps a 107 or 110 performance upgrade (OEM, SS or FM).
I'd love to hear from some riders in a similar position who may have already been down this road and have some constructive feedback.
Thanks!

I suspect that your bike with its engine mods is more powerful than a new one so... install good rear shocks (love my Ohlins 159s) and have a cartridge kit installed in the forks. I have the Harley cartridge kit and it's somewhat better than stock but the Ohlins is supposed to be the best. The stock suspension is terrible; improving it makes a world of difference. Put a good seat w/backrest (check out Lamm custom seats) & highway pegs on her and you'll be better off with less $$$ spent than buying a new one. ...just my .02.
