They come pretty well equipped for some serious touring.
I considered an Ultra Limited, but ended up going with a Road Glide Ultra. Just came down to personal preference on the ride and fit. Now, hit the road...

Pull back touring bars, drivers backrest, and highway pegs are going a long way for now. When I can get some more money together I will go for the ipod setup in the saddlebag so I can keep the handlebar clean and the ipod out of sight.

Stage 1, so it runs better.
Klock Werks 12" tinted shield (shorter than stock)
Wild 1 515 handlebars (better fit and handling), internally wired
Polyurethane riser bushings
Performance Machine Contour XL grips
Floorboard extenders
Removed heel shifter
BrightAss taillight
Brighter (whiter) headlamp bulbs
Highway pegs
Sirius satellite radio
H-D rider backrest
Better shifter linkage with heim joints (reliability)
Fork wind deflectors
Crotch Cooler
Saddlemen BR4100
Hog Trough drink holder (for when I have the lowers on)
And, more for aesthetics:
Black pearl cables
Smoked turn signal lenses
Black levers and mirrors
Shorty CB/AM/FM antennae

The limited is pretty close to having it all. I did add the pegs, 1 inch floorboard spacers, got a couple of shields and also a mustang seat (see sig). These items were pretty much for comfort reasons only; however the 8 tinted shield was also a little for looks.
Other than that I did a stage 1 (see sig) for a couple of other reasons; nothing to do with comfort.
