ultra vs limited differences?
I like the look of the rails as well. I'm considering a 2013 Limited and the rails will be the first mod if I go that route. Depends on if it is cheaper to get the Ultra, add the luggage rack,ABS, security and heated grips or if it is cheaper to go with the limited and add the bag rails.
Also added LED's front and rear (not headlights or road lamps yet). Here is a link to a short video.
You are correct....the lights in the Tour Pak are ULTRA PRO LED Progressive Scan LED Tour-Pak Tail Lights. The other lights are Kuryakyn's. Video is deceptive looking due to the LED effects on my phones video camera. When I get a chance I will shoot a much higher quality video.
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.
My wife also likes the Ultra more than the Limited basically because of the tank emblem.
I'll be getting a new bike soon but between these two my choice would definitely be the Limited.
I explained to her that emblems can be removed or added and as I tend to keep my bikes for years I can do what I darned well please to MY bike.
That said....we BOTH like the new CVO Ultras!

I'd be curious if anything that was on an Ultra when it was king of the hill got dropped when the Limited became the king of the hill.
Someone said when an Ultra has ABS and Security the Limited is a Grand more? So for a Grand you get Heated grips, titanium gauges, chrome wheels, tp charger and tp rack. Yeah, I guess all that stuff is worth at least a Grand. If a dealer actually let you swap out the wheels the difference would be $500 right? In the process you loose bag guards and fender chrome. Personally I'm glad I have the bag guards, I dropped it once and those guards insured no damage. Heck, I've heard of a guy that lays his down on each side when he washes his so he can get more cleaned easier.
Limited wasn't an option on mine ('09) but I mighta bit on that stuff. Hind sight is what changes things. I'm about to do 21' with 17 or 18 chrome rear. I have Gerbings gloves that beat the hell outta heated grips. Not sure if I coulda run heated grips anyway with my MBB's. I've never wished I had a rack. So that narrows it down to a charging point in the TP? I can install that, for what, $50?
To each their own. Assuming current Ultra's still come with everything my '09 did I think I'd do Ultra again. Wish the Ultra didn't come with the intercom to save a few bucks though. I've never used that damn thing.

While I like both the Ultra and the limited, I'm not a fan of the tank and fender emblems on the limited. They just don't look right to me.
I wish they did a little more to the limited to differentiate it more from the Ultra, like using the LED King Tour-Pak Brake/Turn/Tail Lamp Kit instead of the King Tour-Pak Brake / Tail Lamp Kit.

I wanted the decked streetglide look but by the time I added a tour pack and lowers for the long rides with the old lady and abs and some chrome it was the same money to buy the ultra limited.
It just has a bunch of cool **** that you dont think you need till you have it. I wouldnt be without everything the ultra limited has to offer, there is no going back now.

first the ultra has better paint jobs, the limited paint is just that very limited, but before the 103 upgrade the limited was the best bang for the buck now the ultra can save you money if you don't prefer the anti lock brakes and the other acessories. Well i bought the limited because I still saved money if you were to add the extras on an ultra. The ultra classic still looks the best to me, but oh well I suppose sometime in the future the rails can be added. I bought the black limited and the pin striping is very cheap looking compared to the ultra classic. But please don't get me wrong the limited is a very fine bike!
