Default Lightest touring model
Ok I know this is kind of stupid. But what is the lightest touring model that Harley makes? Also why does my ultra feel like it weights a ton compared to a Street glide?

The weight thing kills me. I'm not the tallest guy around. And my ultra with the travel Pak off still feels like it weights a ton.
