Here is a picture I took this morning at the dealer, not prepped yet, but will pick up next Saturday. Going to have the quick disconnect put on for the tour pak. It will be a long week! Will post better pictures once i get it home.
Man I did the same thing this year. I bought a Deluxe last year and it was a nice bike. However I needed more room and and was going to sink money into it. The OL said why don't you just get the bike you want. Needless to say she didn't have to tell me twice and this year ended up with a 2012 Limited in Midnight Pearl and Silver. Enjoy your new bike.

How many of you have changed the pipes? And if you did what did you put on? I had v&h true duals on my Softail and I lived the sound and am a true believer in loud pipes, so just looking for suggestions

I think you will like it. I know I enjoy mine. You will like it even better if you decide to get rid of leg burning pipe where the Cat is located. I was looking at that color at the dealer this morning, very nice. Good luck with it.

Vance & Hines Power Duals, and Vance & Hines High Output slip-ons. Power Duals get rid of the heat from that cat, and High Outputs have the nicest, throatiest, rumbliest sound that I ever heard. Exactly what I've been looking for since I bought my 1st bagger in May of 09. Nobody has a problem riding behind me either. Just put them on my FLHTK, about a month ago. I had the Power Duals with Rush slip-ons. They were pretty nice, but these are better. I think the High Outputs gave me some more guts too. Go to Youtube, type in Vance & Hines High Outputs, put on some headphones, scroll down to that orange bike (22 second clip) entitled Vance & Hines Power Duals w/Hi-Output Slip-Ons. That's EXACTLY what my FLHTK sounds like. There are other sound clips of High Outputs too. It's hard to tell what kind of microphone was used to record them so they all might sound a little different, but that orange bike is the clip that's closest to "real life." What they sound like on mine, anyway.
