RE: Street Glide vs. Ultra
Street Glide
I got the Sundowner seat and acheap ebay tourpack and quick release rack.
Maybe I'll buy some lowers $395.00 - 20%and paint em myself.
1" differance in rear shocks,,, I don't know if I would even notice the differance.
CB = "breaker 1-9" naaaa....
Passing Lamps = Maybe,,,
Passenger foot boards? Shhhhhhhhh

RE: Street Glide vs. Ultra
Tizone, sounds like you should stick with your decision to buy the Ultra. It's a better match for your needs. Now if you should change your mind and want the stripped down good looks and performance of a Street Glide, then by all means have at it, but it sounds like the Ultra is the right bike for you and yours.

RE: Street Glide vs. Ultra
tizone,
Yes you can make the tour pak detachable. I went through the exact same decision making process as you are. I went so far as to talk to the service manager and get a quote on making the pak detachable. I made sure they had done it before (which they had). This seems to me to be a very common request and I think Harley should make it an option. I know I would have paid extra for it. In the long run though, I immediately found it so handy that I doubt very seriously that I will ever remove it. This is coming from someone who does almost exclusively one up riding. I would buy the Ultra again in a heartbeat. Awesome bike.

Only advantage a SG has is for people with shorter inseams.WHY would you want less supension travel on a long ride.Im not getten it.Im not saying a SG isn't a dandy bike.But if you got long enough legs get the Ultra.
