2 things the new touring bikes don't do
first I need to say, I really like the upgrades to the new bikes
but......
First - you cannot remove the tourpack on that limited / Ultra
the turn indicators are in the lightbar of the tourpack so unlike the 13 and previous models, if you take your tourpak off, you have no turn signals on the rear of the bike
Second - many folks with baggers have recently gotten into better audio on their bikes, and many of them have speakers in their lower fairings, well that space is taken up (but hopefully for a good reason)
so if either of those things are important to you, better get your *** down to the dealer and work a deal on a 13

I see nothing but improvements. I don't feel the lower speakers are going to be a big deal with the increased power in the audio. As far as removing my tour pak goes, I have thought about it from time to time but it seems as if I'm always using it for one thing or another. I guess that if you want to have the street glide profile you'll have to own a street glide and buy a tour pak for it. All things considered the new limited looks like a home run in my opinion.

Fourth, you cannot change tire size.
Fifth, the H-D coolant is $22.75 a quart.
Sixth, working on the new models will be much more time consuming. What used to be a four hour job will likely now be an eight hour job.
But, the new chrome water pump cover makes up for all of that.
