I'll take the comforts anytime.  I always keep the tp on. Love heated grips and the better ride.  Just my. 02. Stuart

Maybe its been mentioned already but adding heated grips to the CVO Street Glide is not a big deal the wiring harness installed on them is the same as the Limited and Ultra.  Just remove the old factory grips and plug in the new heated grips.

This is true on 14 and later bikes, pre 14's without Canbus, heated grips can be a PIA. And pricey.

I added a heated Corbin for 2 up riding, heated grips and running lights.  If you add a tour pack and 13 inch shocks you end up with a streetglide ultra lol. Same bikes different styling. I really like the look and feel of the streetglide with my solo seat when I'm alone.

That's what I thought but my Ultra had more goddies than I gave it credit for, I didn't realize it until after it was gone. I'll probably buy function over fashion next time....maybe I'm a sucker for the pretty ones.

Guess thats why they make different bikes.  After two CVO road glides, a 09 and a 12 I got the 15 CVO Road Glide ultra.  It was so loose in the curves I thought there was something wrong with the bike, Dealer said nothing wrong.  I spent 1500 miles trying to dial in the rear shocks, never could get them like I liked.  Put a set of Ohlins on it then handled as good or better than the 09 and 12, and nice a firm the way I like it.  Had the tour pack off unless I was on a two night or longer trip, and in Dec, Jan and Feb for winter riding gear.

I have had both. At same time. Cross country on both. Not 17 but had 35 k in the SG when done.  Had 113 hp and nice paint. Progressive suspension and was a nice ride  BUT Limited wins hands down except at the bar bike night down the block. . In every category.
Then add in the wife and the SG stays parked. Only the limited for any trip longer than two miles to bike night.
Bakon, you mentioned Progressive shocks. Do you think if I went with 944's, I may get a slightly lower stance. At least that's how the Progressive ad reads. Mostly made up my mind to keep my '14, so now I'm looking at just changing out the rear shocks.

I used 940's on my SEUC and was able to lower the rear end one inch. I also used progressive suspension monotubes to lower the front so I would keep the geometry the same. It also help lower the seat height one inch by lowering the front and back. The Monotubes greatly improved the handling of the bike.
