with the muffler off, a flashlight and a coat hanger, you can figure out if there's a cat or not...

No cats in my 09 , 49 state model.
5th gear wine is not a problem , it makes 5th gear stronger as it's a spur gear instead of helical cut teeth , also puts less side load on the trans case when you're really going for it passing traffic.
2010 seat should be about 1" lower than the 2009.
Not much else different , pick a color.......

The 2010 Ultra limited came with the 103 engine, oil cooler, chrome contrast wheels, heated grips and a luggage rack if that interest you. They can be had for a few thousand more than a regular ultra.

key word is Limited model. The 103" was standard for the Limited but was not available as an option for the Classic or Ultra models. Only the 96".

Yea there not so limited anymore with the 103 like they were in 2010-2011. Still a nice bike. I wonder if the limited will survive in a few years? Seems kinda strange two have 2 Ultra's in the lineup. Then again seems strange to have two Fatboys in the lineup.

Are you saying the sound system was DOWN graded for 2010? That sounds wrong but good to know if that is true

Nope. Not sure what the 09 has, but my UC 10 has the Harmon-Kardon 4 speaker 80 watt radio with intercom, CB, CD, Aux, AM/FM, and weather channels. Half the owners manual is dedicated to operating the radio.
