Went to the dealer today to test ride some bikes, I tried out the Street Glide then the Road Glide both awesome bikes but then I rode the Ultra, Wow, it just spoke to me, I couldn't resist any longer. So I traded in my 1998 RK and took the plunge. What the hell.... I've been looking for a while now, it was just time. Unbelievable !
I pick it up tomorrow hopefully we don't get to much rain up here tomorrow in WA state
The 103 is nice, huh? Glad to see you got the heated grips! I added them last weekend....BIG improvement, and highly recommended by me.
The Limited is the one to get if a guy doesn't get a Streetglide. Too easy to remove the tour pak and stash it away or sell it off and then just change windscreen, get a stock streetglide seat, and your home free with all the goodies standard.
Did you get the Rootbeer colored one?
EDIT: First bike I ever bought that I didn't have buyers remorse about. FL's are the best.

CONGRATULATIONS
I've had my limited 103 since last may .. the honey do list is all up to date....
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't rain tomorow also. The last time I looked it calls for showers in the area in the morn and clearing later in the day.
Just over a year and 9k miles on mine already. You'll love it. I just hope you get a chance to put some miles on it. The bike is really great on tour! Of course, I love mine around town, too.
Post some picks when you get it. Here's my '10 on a trip last year to Fruita, UT. Hard to take a bad picture with these bikes in the frame. :-)
Just picked up my limited yesterday. Root beer. Love the color in the sun. Im 30 so you can imagine the comments I got from my friends from buying a "brown old man bike". But I took out Road King, Street Glide, and Ultra classic. Just loved the ride on the Ultra. The street glide felt a little harsh. I really liked the roadking and felt like a small bike handling but liked the radio and not getting so beat up by the wind on a Ultra more. And of course the ride is comfy. It was maybe 40 degrees on the test rides. And riding home 35 miles in 35 degree weather without proper gear wasnt to fun. But just had to get it home.
Yep, love my Root Beer "Brown" bike limited. I call it my "chameleon" or "dr jekyll and mr hyde" because the change is so dramitic from the shade to the sun. Enjoy it!
