Do you mean the Electra Glide Classic VS the Electra Glide Ultra Classic? There are several differences, the Ultra has fairing lowers, rear speakers, CB Radio, intercom and I think cruise control. The Classic doesn't.

Unless you want to throw in the Electra Glide Ultra Classic Limited.

The difference is the amount of options included as standard as you move up the pay scale.
