If it makes any difference I had a 2012 CVO Ultra and traded for the 2014 Limited. Engine power is almost the same. I had stronger pull on the top end with the CVO but the 10 mpg better gas mileage, less engine noise (not exhaust), and almost identical 0-60 times convinced me the 103 is a better engine. Love the cooler engine as well. I didn't realize how hot the 110 ran (even with Rush ceramic headers) until I rode the new bike. I hope I don't get too cold this winter ha ha

Yup, did a little race with a 2012 CVO, it had a SE Tuner, Air Cleaner and Rinehart Tru Duals with Mufflers. He could not pull away from me in a small Drag Race.
It was hot and humid here all weekend, REAL HOT. Got stuck in traffic a few times and the fans kicked on to cool it down. Mine just has a SE Air Cleaner, Vance and Hines Exhaust and VH Fuel Pak.

I love your bike..... I sat down with the sales man for hours on the same bike, but could not get to a deal, I was taking too much of a hit on my 12 that was only 14 months old. One of the problems of buying a leftover. IMO The Daytona Blue is the nicest bike in 2014.

When you say exhaust and air cleaner, do you mean no tune? Which exhaust and air cleaner?

Mister Breeze, MSRP on the optional Custom Color Daytona Blue is $27,164.00 plus freight and prep. I paid $24,000 and got NADA trade value book price for my 2012 Electra Glide Classic. Plus, here in Ohio you pay tax difference on bikes when you trade used for new. So I saved over 1k just in tax too. I wrote a check for 10k difference for the 14, and the 12 was paid for. My 2012 trade was super clean, needed nothing, and was on their showroom for less then one week before it was sold. I'm sure they made a ton on my trade. I bought my 2012 in late 2011, and it had 19k for miles
Thanks a bunch for all the positive comments guys, I do like the bike.
