Some of us can't afford the bike we want,so we have to get a 15 year old EGC and strip it down,however I do agree its kinda silly to buy a new bike and try to transform into another model that's already on the showroom floor.I would love a newer SG,but I love not spending that extra 10-15-20 grand even more...

Pic of the carport this poor thing was abandoned in-



A couple hundreds bucks and a bit of effort later, but far from done...-

 

I only have 5 bikes...stripping stuff off the EGC makes sense to me.

I don't use a tourpak in-town or in-State.
I don't encourage passengers...got enough voices in my head to keep me company.

I have a 14 limited, and I do change my bike into what I want. When I want a full dressed ultra, I leave it as I bought it. When I want to ride a bagger without a tour pac and tall windshield and fat seat I detach it, swap the shield and seat. "I change it into what I like."

 

I am not turning it into a SG, I said sort of, The changes I like and made are making it sort of like a Street Glide. I still like my front fender better than a SG and I would not have a bike without passing lights or I would have bought a Street Glide. Don't you ever want to change things up a bit instead of buying a new bike?

 

NICE!!!! Gotta have options right?

Did sort of the same thing to my '05 years ago. Detachable tour pak, Road Glide seat, removed saddle bag guards and front fender bumper.

 

Looks great mine started out as '09 EGC.......that's the beauty & fun of these bikes is making them your own.

 

looks good. some of my buddies did the same thing before the SG was even a thought in Harleys head.

 

OP, lose the front bumper

 

Here in the UK neither the Ultra or the Limited have truly detachable Tour Paks, essentially because the turn signals that HD brought out (that are stuck to the rear of the saddlebags) are not available in amber (required by law in the UK). As I want saddlebag rails too, with slotted chrome filler strips, Custom Dynamics turn signals won' fit either.
Hence I have a Street Glide with a detachable Tour Pak and all the bells and whistles that the Utra has and more (CB radio, heated grips).
I have just purchased the Ultra front and back fenders and turn signal LED inserts from CD. This retains the LED turn signals that I had on the SG. In the UK the brake and turn signal lights come in an interated package.
