An Ultra with ABS/Security is only $1105 less than a Limited. That is why most guys are going for the Limited.

Oh yeah, I remember the sales guy telling me that when I upgraded from my 08. The chuckle was worth the extra bucks - cant honestly remember looking at my 08 liners thinking "wow, they could really do with a bit of leather placed strategically here and there"

Anyway, HD can't be accused of failing to make an effort

To repeat though, I love my bike, but that may be more to do with the frame upgrade. I have seen nothing since 2010 to even vaguely inspire me to upgrade

I think the standard ultra is a better looking bike than the limited.

Big +1 on that, Bro. To me, the paint lines on the Limiteds make the front end look droopy. Not crazy about the tank trim either.

But that's just me, everybody's different.

With my 2012 limited I also got a very basic tool and a 3/4 - full helmet communication headset.

Depending on the year the limmited had vented lowers and adjustable bat wing vents too. I think they all have them now though. I love my limmited the little extras are nice not to mention the ABS and 103

The limited setup looks good but there is just something about the ultra that I like better

I have a 07 Ultra with tons of chrome and goodies, I like the looks of the Limited, but setting side by side, I think the Ultra looks better, dont get me wrong, both are great looking, just to me the Ultra has better lines to it. I have heard from some that the 103 is not much more power than the 96 except in 6th. Have not rode one to make my own opinion yet. But I also have a Stage one Big Sucker, Daytona Twin Tech tuner, and Cobra True Duels and WIld Pig pipes. Runs great with this set up.
