Scott you say,
I really liked what they did with the batwing fairing, particularly the inner fairing. The fairing surface is now painted gloss black, rather than the flat black finish of the past. There are 4 gauges instead of 6 and they are placed high in the fairing and are very easy to read. The outer fairing now has a nice vent that channels air up behind the windshield. HD says it's to eliminate buffeting, but I have never had a buffeting issue with my bike. I think I read where the fairing is shaped a little differently, could this be why they now have a vent to control buffeting? Where your bike doesn't need it?

Haha, not this year. Well, they do have a purple color offered for the Limited, but it is only available in the Shriner edition.

So I'm guessing the limited will now be the top of the line FL?
I'm wondering about that vent. Where does it vent to? Will the owner have to pull the fairing apart to clean out all the accumulated bugs and dirt?

The vent is located just below the windsheild, on the outer fairing, and exits through the inner fairing just above the tach & speedo. It is aimed at blowing the air up behind the windshield.

CJ, by now you surely have over 20k on that purple people eater. Of course you are ready for an upgrade or you will soon be into an engine overhaul ....!

The Limited already is the TOL touring bike. It's got the most standard features, not counting the CVO models.

Sure Kris, all 117 of you. I'm sure you Victory boys would make suggestions to your dealers too. If you can find one.

That's right. These guys are lightweights at ball busting compared to Marine Corps drill instructors.
