    No Heated seats on the Ultra Limted.
    The heated seats are on the SE models only. And the people I know with the SE models, Especially the Street Glide. The seats are friggin hard. Too hard to ride on man.
    And FLht I do like the back tire and the whole new frame. Bike rides really, really good. Harley really did good coming out with the new frame.
    They was long past due for it. They did their homework man.
    I really like the Black too......

    Right now I just want to git my Garmin GPS unit on the bike and git me a base for the back rest and put my Bixenon Headlight in it.
    Too new to do anything.
    Not gonna make no Hot Rod out of it. Tired of poppin the hood.
    I want to Ride............ Got a anniversary coming up pretty soon.
    With me spending all my money as a down payment to git the payments down as low as I did.
    Might just go see somebody in the Hill Country and ride it...
    Hear they got a new Saloon out in the Hill Country that is pretty nice.

    Congrats on the new ride CB!
    Tell your wife all you want for your birthday is a heavy breather kit some pipes and a good 1st stage tuning!
    It's all for her comfort - don't want her getting hot on the back so your doing this to keep the bike and her cool ;);)

    Yea well good luck with that, it was in the 60's and the sun was out. at 6:00 when we left the dealership, the clouds were moving in.
    Rained all nite and still rainin this mornin. Only going up to the 50's this week.
    Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    No heavy breather. They come too close to the Lowers.
    I want to pay the bike off 1st.
    Then I will git a Screaming Eagle breather.
    Got several things I want.
    Just hooked up my GPS unit.
    Got to go and git some wire, tie straps and a few connectors and a spray bottle of McGuires fast was.
    Fixing to wire up my Bixenon Headlight, and hook up the quick connector for the battery charger.

    Well really happy for you CB. That saloon looks like the kind of place that I would like, rustic old and homey looking :) my kind of place.
    The Limited actually runs pretty good just by itself. I can go look at my dyno run but I think stock the HP is in the 70's.
    Yea, many riders who have not ridden the new bike with the new features like frame, rear tire and other items can't appreciate it until they own one.

    CB, I changed the headlight bulb in mine to a brighter more intense bulb, big difference.

    CB, my 09 ultra came wired with a plug in for the battery charger it is located right next to the oil tank and tranny fill. It's a nice quick connector with a rubber cap over the ends. If your thinking of a backrest I really like the H-D adjustable one, real nice to change positions sometimes on long rides. The lever is hidden nicely under the heat deflector left side of the fuel tank .

    Yep, should be located on the right side under the seat towards the back in the frame area. It will have a cap on it and it is a two wire connector, hot/ground.

    I couldn't remember if it was a factory or dealer install. I had a friend run wire for trailer brakes in a pick-up once then he asked me to hook them up and I showed him they were under the dash from factory.

    Helped a buddy on his bike several times.
    He order a few sets of the Bixenon headlight kits and gave me one.

    I pulled my faring and hooked up the gps wires and handlebar mount.
    Pulled the gas tank and pulled wires for the Bi Xenon light.
    Installed the plug with eye connectors for the battery charger.
    I didn't see any on the battery when I had the screws off the connectors.

    Previous owner had it 3 wks, put 1039 miles on it.
    Traded it in on a Screaming Eagle Road Glide..........
    The Old lady and me asked the folks in the service dept.
    They had only had the bike 3 days since he returned it.
    Had just put it on the floor.

    I'm gonna git a back rest base plate sO I can use my backrest in it..

    Want to git as many payments on it as I can so I can cut the interest down.

    Will probaly wind up in the end puttin a set of Vance and Hines Power duals

    Not sure which muffler I will use.
