I put that damn seat on because of the softail suspension! A softail has a lone shock sitting between the seat and back fender! Dynas have the duel external shocks on both sides. Much better ride. If you think softail are a better ride then a dyna, you haven't rode a softail 2000 miles on a trip yet.

My 2011 Limited came with heated handgrips. I wouldn't have paid the extra money for them but they were standard on the limited so I have them. My Wife and I were riding from South Bend to Kokomo to visit her Mom and it was getting colder as the sun went down. My Wife was on her 2002 Road King and I asked her on the CB if her hands were cold we could stop and switch her mesh gloves out for leather. She said her hands were not cold. I told her mine are. She said "Dummy turn on your heated handgrips" I had forgotten that I even had them. After about five miles my hands were nice and toasty. After about ten miles I had to turn them down to number 2 setting. I have to say that they are a nice option.

Suppose to get to near 50s and sunny Sat. Oh why Oh why did I put my bike up for winter storage.
what's this "winter storage" thing you speak of??Suppose to get to near 50s and sunny Sat. Oh why Oh why did I put my bike up for winter storage.
I have gotten the bug and it's time for a new(er) bike. The '98 is having issues and I do not want to break down on the back side of some mountain. I was going to go for another Road Glide, but when I say on this one, it felt like we matched, like the blue guy and his flying dragon in that movie. It's a '15 Ultra Limited and has a little over 8k miles. Anyone with experience on this bike?

I think it will handle much better than the Road Glide for me. I always felt like I was reaching for the bars with it, but the Limited's bars seem to be in the perfect position for me.
21K miles on my '14 Limited. They're great bikes with the Project Rushmore improvements. Your bars look like they have a greater reach than my stock ones did. I added 2" longer ones and the riding comfort lasts longer then the 275 mile fuel range. Rode my '07 Road King Classic to the dealer one day and sat on the one that would instantly become mine. Traded that and my '07 Nightster and plan on living happily ever after.

A friend of mine has an Ultra. I just put tires on it for him a few days ago. To me Ultras handle like they have a big fat ass. Because..... well, they do. Lots of weight high in the back and you can feel it in low speed turns. Cruising they feel fine but the cockpit seems busy and a little cramped for my liking. Just my personal experience. If you can test ride it, do it and see what you think of it.
I agree with the High center on the Ultra but once used to it most do OK.
I will test ride before I buy, but I couldn't imagine it being any sloppier than the Road Glide. I love that bike on the highway, but it leaves much to be desired in the city.
Some guys I ride with suggested the Gold Wing, but I can't bring myself to do it.
