2022 flhtk

I am seriously considering buying a new Ultra limited. Anything I should consider? I am very old school, love my existing FLHTCU but its getting miled out and I am not sure I trust it on trips anymore. This new bike will have NO mods, not even exhaust and the bike will never be operated in any sort of 'spirited' manner due to my age and my now preferred riding style. It has far too much electronics that I will never use, but there is no other model offering with less stuff but is still a touring with tour pack. To me, nowdays, there is something to be said for a Police/Shriner bike. Not a fan of the liquid cooling with radiators. P'o'd about loosing the glove boxes. Does the 2022 have the auto adjusting primary chain? If so is it still problematic? Any other nuggets or thoughts to consider?
Thanks for any thoughts.

Try it, you'll like it! It's a great bike in stock form. You will notice a huge difference with the improved handling and performance. You won't regret it.

Do It

Don’t worry about what you may not have or use, you’re going to love the new one. Will find yourself wondering what took so long.

After many years, I went from FLHTK to FLTRK. Would not go back.

The to many electronics thing will wear off! Some is overkill but damned convenient!

Thanks for the replies fellas. One concern is due to the complicated nature of the bike, I couldn't take it if it was in the shop through the riding season fixing a problem on some frivolous accessory - don't have that many [seasons] left. I feel that they are pretty reliable, just looking for some re enforcement. Auto primary chain adjuster sorted?
