Default Will people buy the Roadglide Ultra

This is not a Roadglide thrashing
I owned a Roadglide and loved it,,,,,,BUT,,,,

I think "most" Roadglide owners go the opposite direction of the ULTRA,

I see the Roadglide as a stripped down Decker that is done up with Apes, great paint, lots of extras etc etc

Just my opinion but curious what the RG owners think

The only thing I would change is the hard a$$ seat! I have an 81 FLT and 06 Ultra. I love the functionality of the frame mounted fairing on my Tour-Glide.
Rented a RG before I bought the Ultra and the seat broke my candy a$$ down before the day was over.
Put the Zep seat on the RG Ultra and your just a minute away from getting it right.

Saw a Roadglide Ultra Screaming Eagle Sat. at Colliers in Roanoke Rapids. Silver and black- probably one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen !!! They had it out front and ready for delivery-- salesman said it was on the floor less than a day before it sold. If I had the cash-- I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
