ediddy Posted September 6, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2013 One of my insureds came by the office this morning. He traded his road king for a 2014 Street Glide Special. I must say I am impressed. I've always liked the instrumentation on the harleys. This bike has a touch screen in the center where you can touch radio and the stations come up and you touch the one you want to listen to. You touch set up and you can press gps and a gps comes up. Of course the sound system of the harley has always been awesome. It has a vent system you can adjust where it will blow air toward your face. The 1690cc engine is awesome. Too bad yamaha won't do the same to their bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted September 6, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2013 I was at the Harley shop a few days ago to get warranty on my boots. Yes, my h h h harley boots that I bought back in March ... some of the stitching at the zipper was coming apart. Got a full exchange coz they are warranteed for a year! Anyhoo, spent a good deal of time drooling over the new Ultra Limited. At $31,xxx plus tax , I guess I won't be getting one any time soon but I do plan to go to the demo days in Oct and test ride them. Some of their color choices are awesome and I really like the changes they've made to things like the fairing, saddlebag lids and trunk. That vent in the fairing is designed to neutralize the low pressure zone behind the windshield/fairing to reduce head and body buffeting. Have the same kinda thing on my Vic and it does make a big difference, even with a shorter shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted September 6, 2013 Share #5 Posted September 6, 2013 :sign outstanding::sign outstanding: Mike HOLY (enter favorite cuss word here) my cousin Matt went from Ohio to Colorado with his wife for a couple weeks. He left Ohio on his 2012 Ultra but he left Colorado on his new 2014 Ultra Classic. Black. Yeah, I may be just be a little jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj66 Posted September 6, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 6, 2013 The Ultra Limited must've had some doo dads added for the 31,000? I was looking on the HD site and the Ultra Limited starts out at 25,900, and the Ultra Classic at 23,250. I bet you were drooling over the Limited.........

Red Ryder Posted September 7, 2013 Share #11 Posted September 7, 2013 Hey, on a different post I said wouldn't trade my 08. I may have to eat crow, after looking at them in person, with all the changes. Now, all I have to do is hit those lucky numbers on the lottery. The new Harley hit a Home Run.

BradT Posted September 11, 2013 Share #12 Posted September 11, 2013 They pay more in Canada for all their stuff Bernie, GST and PST and all that kind of good stuff Thing is that the 31k is before PST and GST. Another funny thing is that years ago we had a hidden federal manufactures tax which they removed, then added Goods and Service tax (GST) so now just about everything is taxed. So now we have Provincial sales tax (PST) and GST. New government comes along and says we should make things easier and make a Harmony tax HST which is the addition of both PST and HST. Same friggin thing but sounds different so it does not feel as if your getting screwed. Sorry Off topic I know. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Fan Posted September 11, 2013 Share #13 Posted September 11, 2013 We just saw them on Sunday. I must say it's the first time I've really liked the Harley. Nice, nice bikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86er Posted September 11, 2013 Share #14 Posted September 11, 2013 I don't know about the Ultras, but the cylinder heads on the RoadGlide are water cooled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted September 11, 2013 Share #15 Posted September 11, 2013 Nope, there is no Road Glide this year. The Ultra Plus has the exhaust port water cooled though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 11, 2013 Share #16 Posted September 11, 2013 The road glide will be next, there's a lot to do when you totally redesign a bike . Not that Yamaha knows anything about that. Watching the boat sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
