Law Abiding Biker | Street Biker Motorcycle Podcast

In this episode, we talk about the 2026 Harley-Davidson Limiteds. Harley clearly put a lot of thought into rider and passenger comfort on the 2026 Limited. The redesigned heated seat is one of the first things you notice. It now comes standard with heating for both rider and passenger, and Harley wisely kept physical buttons on the bike for adjusting heat levels instead of burying those controls in menus. That matters in the real world. When it’s cold outside, nobody wants to scroll through screens just to warm up. The heated grips are also standard and work very well. Like the seat, they...
