Default ultra road glide

Ive always thought HD should call a fixed faring no tour pack short windshield mcy a road glide, and they do.
However if it has a tour pack, tall windshield, comfy seat and long suspension then it should be named a Tour Glide.
Road Glide ultra sucs.

Road Glide Ultra Limited Low. That is a mouthful. A full on separate name like Tour Glide would be easier.

I donno.... Kinda like the name convention now. All the names across the board then are the same. The "special" mo****r I hate. They could of found a better name / word in my opinion.
