By the end of the day next Tuesday I'll have the same thing from FM you do - except I have 4" Jackpots. I'm hoping I'll be satisfies for a few years after that. Maybe a little "safety chrome" but no other engine mods planned.

Engine is stock. I've added SEAC, 3 1/2" Jackpots, Power Vision, SE Compensator, HD Pullback handlebars, Reach seat, HD LED headlight and passing lamps, Howard's JRI rear shocks, Ricor Intiminators for the forks, Run Brake Turn rear light kit, Tour pack turn signal kit, Premium Tourpack latches/hinges and Jason's FCS cooling fans.

She's had a lot of TBW and primary problems in the past but it's been running great for the last 4 months(knock on wood). She's got a ton of miles on her, uses less than a quart of oil between 5k services and I was about as content as I could be-until I saw that you got the shorty antennas. Now I think I'll have to do that. I never use the CB and rarely listen to the AM/FM so I might remove them and cap the mounts and put an AM/FM antenna in the fairing.

THEN I'll be content-maybe.

My plan for my 2014 is to leave it stock, and ride the wheels off it.

I understand, my 13 limited is stock. If it wasn't for the heat from the cat I probably wouldn't change the exhaust. But I plan on doing the FM stage 1 soon and then maybe some light upgrades for safety and the new latches. That's about it.
Now my Heritage is another story.

I must say with the exception of a new seat, I am very content with my King. Haven't looked at a bunch of seats yet just know that the one I have gets very uncomfortable after about 100 miles. Once I find the right seat I am done and content with this ride. I made myself a deal that I will not trade it until I hit 50,000 miles and since I just hit 5500 it will be a while (only get about 10k per year).

I'm not content. 2010 EGC, 51,000 joyous miles. Runs and sounds great. Covered by ESP. I've talked myself out of a 14 but don't know if I'll last once the 15's are launched. Hi, my name is Spider and I'm an addict!
