Buying my first touring bike

[D.Bradfield]

Buying a used 2014 ultra limited. Any suggestions on upgrades to start with. It has apes and slip ons. I'm 6'5" and looking forward to the apes. I ride a heritage classic now. My riding buddy says everybody starts with a softail and eventually finds themselves on a touring bike. I guess he's right this time!

Ride it for a while. After that you can decide on what upgrades are important to you. Oh and congratulations on the new ride!

As the saying goes "Some day you will own a bagger."
Try it you may like it just the way it is.

Ditto on Steve's advice...Don't rush in to any upgrades or add ons. The list of possibilities is endless. Figure out what will make it more comfy get a game plan and stick to it. Otherwise you end up spending more than ya planned...ask me how I know. That being said the best changes I made were the seat and going to my apes on my old FLHX and my current FLHR. Huge improvement. Good luck enjoy the scoot.

I would add a hi flow air filter and a tuner first thing

I went from a 2013 flhr to a 2015 flhx,the difference without doing a thing to it is appreciable.Feels stronger all the way through.Your 2014 is the same engine as the 2015.Both improved over 2013-later

good set of pipes air cleaner, a cam would really wake it up then tune, you would be at 95 hp 110 tQ, which is pretty good bang for your buck.
