It's the big 50 for myself and my best buddy next year. So we're going to fly over to the States and hire some Harley's for a week with our better halves riding pillion. Any suggestions as to the best bike for rider and passenger comfort? I'm thinking Electraglide as the best option or maybe a Road King.
Thanks

 

If you are going to travel very far, I would say Electra glide, Limited or Road Glide ultra. You can't beat having a tour pack on the road. With a limited you could also have a cb and on board communication with the better halves.

 

If your bringing the wives,you better have a tour pack with a backrest for them to lean against,so I would pick a Ultra model.A Road King doesn't have a tour pack or a backrest from the factory.That also leaves out the Street Glides in the touring family.

 

Get something like mentioned above so you have plenty of room and comfort for the wives. Where are you planning to travel ?

 

Just get a full dress bagger, like an Ultra or Limited. Nothing else will suffice. Our roads are made for those bikes.

 

San Francisco to LA and maybe Vegas

 

If you are riding into Vegas, you'll need to get leather Elvis costumes, and, of course, ride electra glides.

 

Ultra classic if it were me

 

You might want to rent one at home first, and get some solo experience, before riding 2up, fully loaded. Especially if you are going to ride the hills of San Francisco.

Rent the Ultra or Limited. The GPS system will be a big help
