Talking Ultimate ultra?

OK I did it. the trigger is pulled and the Limited is here. I asked the Dealer to add a parade fan, HID head light, and adjustable driver backrest. This bike is an upgrade since I could not add anti-lock brakes to my current ultra. My wife and I put 28,000 miles on our current bike in the last two years. We have an old jeep with a lot of miles as a back up vehicle for when it rains, but, the Electra Glide is our primary transportation. The question is this, are there any other big ticket items that should be added to make this the ultimate ultra?

I will try to post pictures later this weekend.

You might want to upgrade the speakers. Try J&M.

Send your seat to MCC for modifications. My 2010 Limited seat was the pits.

Skip the parade fan all it does push heat onto your other leg and thigh Call Jamie at Fuel Moto and do a PCV and some slip ons if your looking to roll it into your payments you can get HD SEST and A/C and some slip ons

What is SEST? I did have the Race tuner on my 2008 ultra and it did make a difference. The Rinehart slip ons and stage one intake are going to be transfered over when I take her in for the first service. Sorry, ahead of time to all you cold people on the mainland, Pictures will come in a day or two. I am on the road for work after riding breaking miles all weekend. I wanted to feel the factory engine setup before doing any modifications. It does run NIIIICCE! KEVIN LIKEEE. The stock exhaust even has a different "thump" to it compared to the 2008 Ultra.
