It's in!
It just arrived at the dealership. 2014 Ultra with 6.5" infotainment. Waiting for the heated grips, luggage rack, rider backrest, and floorboard extensions to be put on. Leave everything else for now. Should be ready Friday.

Other than the few mods I mentioned, I probably won't do much else. But if I do, it will probably start with rear shocks. I usually change the pipes but my hearing is getting really bad and I finally figured out it's the riding that's doing it. I suspect it's the wind noise more than anything else. I just bought a 2013 anniversary RK last winter and had done everything to it (king tour pack, daymaker LED lights, progressive front and rear suspension, chubby 518 bars, hammock seat, etc, etc). It was perfect for me but the wind noise was ruining my ears. I put on the curved Harley fork mounted wind deflectors and I started wearing earplugs and all that helped. But I heard so much about the new Ultras and Limited that I had to go test ride them. And that's all it took. They worked magic with the new fairing. It was very quiet even without earplugs. I still will wear earplugs, but now with the intercom I'll be able to communicate with my wife (not necessarily a good thing!). She was pissed that I couldn't hear her with my earplugs in.
I will definitely miss the road king. It was a great bike that was both comfortable and fun to ride. But I've been doing longer and longer rides and becoming more and more deaf each time. I had a BMW once that was super quiet with the electric windshield but I couldn't see giving up riding a Harley. The 2014's came out just in the nick of time.
