I too had a 2002 GoldWing and now have a 2010 FLHTK in Flame Blue pearl. I ordered it while I was in Iraq in 2009. I have of course added items to it. Jackpot Carbon Fiber mufflers, Fuelmoto 2-1-2 head pipe to get rid of the cat, and S/E stage 1 air cleaner and PC-V. Next month is the 107" kit from Fuel Moto. The GoldWing had the sewing machine engine, tons of power, but no soul like the Harley. My Harley riding buddies use to give me a hard time because I had the Honda. They would call it the Stealth because they could'nt here it coming up behind them. But I truely love this Limited because I can make it mine (bank account limited). In September I'm on the way to Kosovo for a year so this summer I've got to pound the miles. Congrats on your Limited and the same to all the posters who have Limiteds.
Just picked up my 2011 Limited this past week. I'll be up in Leesburg Thursday through Saturday. I'm having the stage one and the dyno work done as we speak.
Thanks to all for the replys..Really enjoy it- Had the 1000 mi service done, have added a few "goodies" and thinking about more. Haven't really noticed it being too hot yet- wondering about XIEDs, slip-ons. A/C, etc. We'll see how it all evolves.
Yes- ready for Leesburg Bikefest..Starts Thursday at Gators Harley, then downtown- Getting bigger every year- Estimate 200,000 PLus - A lot for a small town- but well managed.

I picked up my 2010 Limited in September of 2010. It was a real hard sell to trade in my 2006 Fatboy and my 2008 Ultra Classic. However, after riding the Limited and feeling the 103 stock, easy turn radius, and overall better suspension of the bike, I gave in and made the trade.
We put 1500 miles on it right away until winter hit. No upgrades or extra's, just stock. After getting used to the bike, I added a back rest (hesitation on my part because I considered those for old men. Well, I'm an old man...lol.. just turned 49). Really glad I did, it already rode like a dream. Then I added R.C Custom slip on's. Opened that baby up, let'er breath. I got the style, comfort, and ballsy sound I was looking for without going deaf.
Very happy with it.....
