100% agree. Why not buy with Tour pack instead of adding one at $1000 bucks. Ultra limited Tour Pack will come with tail lights to help cagers see you when you are stopped.

I wanted street glide but wife liked the UC. I bought a quick detach thinking I would ride without the tourpak and only use it for out of town. Truth be told, I never remove it because it is so useful. Actually looks like it belongs too not out of place. Buy the Limited, you will appreciate the extra suspension and it is always cheaper to take something off than it is to put something on.

If the ole lady is going to be riding 50% or more, and you are going to do any long trips, Limited all the way, On a bike, any extra room is great to have, especially with a woman

Found that out with my 2007 RG. They did not offer a RGU then. Added tour pack right away. Took it off a few times then left it one for good.

UL all the way even SG's nice. Love my Tour Pak so much that I rarely use saddlebags. Thought about purchasing detachable kit and to find out that it cost $500 plus Labor costs. No friggin' way as I'll spend that money towards to gas riding all summer.

SG with tourpack.......Streetglide Ultra......SG looks way cooler, not as much of a "geezer glide"....yes you should change the seat.....get the tourpack with the led spoiler, cleaner looking. Just my 2 centavos
