Default new Limited Low
Looks like the low has reduced reach handlebars, lower seat, low profile outer primary cover, different passenger footboards, and lowered rear and FRONT suspension. I wonder if they achieved the front drop by sliding the fork tubes up in the triple clamps or actually changed the internals? Curious about the new bars too. What's everyone think?

Wouldn't it be nice if the MoCo offered a special 'Lower' package for all their bikes in the Touring family. Kinda like a trim level you have on cars but for bikes.

Would be nice if they made a bike for people over 6" too.

All you need to do it is in the P&A catalog ...

They do. I did my 2014 Limited shortly after buying it last year.

Its in the parts book and here's a photo from the low model. Can't wait to sit on one and see if there's much difference.

The front drop is achieved with the Premium Single cartridge low fork kit that has been available since the 2014's came out.

The rear is the 12" NON-air shocks from the SGS.

The only things that are really new are the narrow primary cover and passenger foot pegs.
