Frustrated as hell

Well actually you were sitting on the CVO version first... for $35k. Then I smacked you and told you to sit on the Limited version and save yourself $10k. Which would have only got you another 7 CI, some more chrome, different wheels, and flashier paint... oh and a heated seat. Not worth 10k.
$35k CVO Ultra
$25K Limited Ultra (just like mine + $2k for flashy paint, 7 CI, chrome wheels, luggauge rack, and heated grips.)
But of coarse he wants the Limited in Scarlet Red/Black. Which will look

Keeping dreaming... Twin Cam motor is a great and new motor design. We aren't talking about your dad's old Knuckle!
The 2009 FLH touring models have a brand new frame. Crappy suspension? The new FLH models are carvours... your rocket wouldn't perform if carrying around this big a bike. Susprised you didn't mention brakes... oh yeah... that's cause they are carrying a complete Brembo brake system with intergrated ABS... oh I almost forgot... no ugly abs tone ring... internal in the hub.
Lets not ignore that not all the jap cruisers combined can they even compare to just HD branded aftermarket support. Not to mention the manufactures that do carry metric aftermarket parts carry at least 2 to 3 times more HD aftermarket.
You shouldn't speak about what you don't know or understand.
That being said... has anybody seen the new Victory line up... more specifically the touring line up??
Another American bike that probably has just as much support as metric cruisers.

Victory has released four new models for 2010.
Two of them are 8-ball versions of current bikes. The Hammer and Vision will be stripped-down and blacked-out for sinister duty.
The other two are totally new bagger models, bent towards the touring crowd.
Check out the new CrossRoads, and Cross Country
