Put a lot of the same things on my '11 Limited. One thing you might want to consider is the tour pak lid organizer 53249-01B. Around $90 retail. Holds a lot of that little stuff and doesn't take up any room.

Try to get to a rally or gathering where there are lots of bikes. If you see a 103, ask the owner if you can hear it run (haven't heard a bike owner say no yet). Make mental notes about which pipes you like. You really have to hear them if the sound will be important to you.

If you are near Branson, mo for the rally this weekend there will be a 2011 limited with V&H monster rounds, SE ventilator A/C, and SERT
That would be me Not my first choice for the weekend, but the Mrs. Asked me to take her for her B-day. Can't say no to the Mrs.

I'm glad to have signed up to this forum.

I have read so many posts and learned a lot, but I still have a long way to go.

Does anyone have any recommendations or expectations for the bike I'm about to get?

So far I got the following:

GPS - hardwire or use the 12V outlet?
New gear shift linkage
Mustang saddlebag lid covers
Push button fuel door
Tour Pack quick disconnect harness
HD Tour pak run/turn/brake light conversion
Floor board extention (harley goodies)
Short antenna's for cb and fm

I plan on doing the exhaust, air filter and power commander after I break her in.

Any other help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!
I have an '09 & most of the things you're considering:

GPS: Mine's hardwired, leaving the 12V outlet to charge my phone or to connect my Escort radar detector with H.A.R.D. heads up LED helmet unit

Saddlebag Lid covers: I got 'em & used 'em on one trip before deciding to install chrome rails instead.

Floor Board Extensions: Just got 'em

Short Antennas: One of the first things I got

Push Button Fuel Door: Convenient,but I haven't gotten around to that

Tour Pack Quick Disconnect: Would be cool to have in terms of looks....

Stage I: Just had it done on Monday with PC/SE Exhaust/SE AC

Other things to consider:

1. Cover with holes for the short antennas (I added gussets to a standard cover for the antennas)

2. I've found the standard saddle to be pretty good and kept it so far...you might want to try it out for a while.

3. Windscreen...I've been using the stocker but just ordered a dark tinted shorter screen to have more visibility over the screen.

4. Helmet speakers/Mike: I ditched the supplied HD headset and installed J&M units in a flip up helmet for me and my SO...I prefer to listen through these than the bike's speakers, and find I only use the speakers when I wear a shorty helmet or am putzing around with the bike in the garage.

5. Wheels: The stock 28 spoke wheels are a PITA to keep looking good. I like the Agitators but for now just put on a set of take-off SG wheels with a larger diameter, lower profile front tire that is easier to keep looking decent.

6. Heated Grips: I went with the Flames HD unit

7. Fairing Mounted Mirrors (and chrome frames): I added these a few weeks ago & prefer the look to the stockers...looks less cluttered at the handlebars.

8. Clear Turn Signals: I prefer the clear look to the yellow standard signals.

9. Backrest: Just picked one off this Forum...haven't absolutely needed one but am anxious to try it out for comfort based on so many people raving about it.

10. Chrome: Up to individual preferences. I added chrome covers to the passenger floorboard, the Tourpack, the saddlebag rails, the gauges, and the speaker surrounds front & back. Just received (but haven't mounted) chrome covers for the Tourpack hinges.

11. Motorcycle Lift: Useful for cleaning & maintenance...I got the J&S & others like the Pitbull

12. Alarm Siren: One of my first additions.

13. Chrome Passenger Grab Rails: My SO raves about these for longer rides.

Welcome & Congrats on your new ride. I would just suggest you enjoy riding your bike & don't sweat the mods. You got all kinds of time for them.

Default 2011 Ultra Limited passenger rails

I want passenger rails for my 2011 FLHTK but the 2011Bible HD parts book says the one they sell (97026-09) won't fit. Any thoughts on why & any alternatives?

I just traded my 09 Ultra for a "11" Ultra Limited, I had the grab rails on the "09", pulled them off and bolted right on the "11".
