Weill Tn, if you are old enough to have that much sense, think about it this way, you will probably be dead in a few years so you might as well enjoy the little time you have left, get the bike man.

But for now I think I will do the 107" kit and save the trading for a couple years down the rd. They are awesome bikes and congrats to whomever buy's one!!!

I would agree! I just made a five day run to Florida with my dealer owner who of course was on a new 2014 Limited and another buddy with an 09 Ultra and a 103 kit. My bike is a stock 2010 Ultra w/ 96 CI.

The dealer already has 14k miles on the bike and he LOVES it. He averages 40k miles a year.

He led the entire trip and I was in the middle all the way and we logged 1519 miles. We ran VERY hard with a top speed of 94 MPH on the GPS and a moving average of 63.7 MPH over the trip.

I LOVE the LED lights on the tour pak! They are awesome but I really do not understand why they did not go LED on the tail light. Well I guess I do they want you to spend more money! LOL. I really love the billet aluminum filler panels between the rear fender and bags. They look AWESOME!

I saw what he put in his tour pak and what I could get in mine. Bigger is BETTER!

I actually watched him open his right rear saddle bag while on the road, grab something and close it back. NICE

The instrumentation is amazing. I love it! The GPS is very nice but actually my Harley Garmin found a gas station that his did not. Go Figure?

We were stopped and I watched him take a phone call and call another guy back using the Bluetooth system. COOL

The LED Headlights were so bright that I could tell a huge difference just following behind him after dark. A MUST Have.

I noticed early on that he would leave me in the dust from a dead stop. I really had to accelerate hard and was shifting over 4000 rpm to even keep close. He has owned and ridden everything being a dealer for 42 years now. His bike two back was a 2012 Road Glide with a 120R! He likes to go fast and he told me that the 2014 is the BEST stock bike performance wise that he has ever ridden. I believe it! Also with the higher horsepower he even got slightly better gas mileage than I did which I contribute to having to ride harder to keep up.

He has had ZERO issues with this bike. Because of the miles he rides and how hard he runs he did add a high capacity oil pan which I think holds 2 additional quarts of engine oil. He highly recommends that upgrade. He has also added a tuner and Screamin Eagle tail pipes.

The bike impressed me in every way. If I could upgrade right now I would.

Last Saturday we were riding from Daytona west to Cedar Key on the Gulf in t-shirts with 80 degree temps. I wish I could go back to that today!

Congrats to all of you that are enjoying your new 2014's.

Ride safe

Well I just finished the first 2k miles on it with a nice run up to Andersonville Ga POW Memorial, great ride, sobering place to visit, if you have kids bring them there. 450 miles of cold rain, some nice twisty and muddy roads, spent a whole day cleaning bike when I got back. The bike shines in the hills, on the highway, at high speed, running the ride with two Wings and another 12 Ultra, no problem keeping with the Wings. Did 1400 miles in 28 hours, met my Hoka Hey bros up there.

I just went up to a Limited from an 08 FLHRC... I've ridden tons of Road Kings, this is my first Electra Glide. A few months back I got it set in my head and went out for a test ride on a 2014 Limited and I was sold! This is the smoothest Harley I've ever ridden...

Can't wait till March to pick mine up being delivered February 17th to the dealer but the weather won't be delivered yet. Every time I driving the twisty windy roads here in New Hampshire I just dream of the ride and getting on that throttle.
