Default Ok dumb question here

I've pretty much decided I want a cruiser, however what is the difference between the EG and the EG Ultra ?

What White Knight said, plus I don't think the classic has cruise control, rear (passenger seat) speakers for the stereo, the lights on the side of the tour pak, and I believe they each have their own set of color choices.

windup, you better learn your models before handing out information. EG standard, EG Street, EG Classic, EG Ultra Classic. I think you should go to the HD web site and review.

The difference is a couple thousand bucks. IMO, it's worth it. Go to the HD website, and do a compare of the models. Then... LOOK CAREFULLY at EVERY WORD. Get a highlighter to show the differences. We can list them here, but if someone starts listing, and misses one.. then he is a dufass and becomes a target for the piranha's on here.

I have an ultra, and love it for all around riding.

In addition to costing more money, the Ultra has a lot of features that (A) you can't live without, or (B) you don't care about. Basically, the Ultra has the lowers, CB, intercom, cruise control, and rear speakers, none of which hold any appeal at all for me. So mine is an Electraglide Classic. If I felt otherwise, I'd have the Ultra.

he Ultra adds acb radio, intercom for rider/passenger, lower fairings, liners in tour pak, liners for saddle bags, speakes at tour pak, different paint schemes, tour pak, led lighs on side of tour pak and cruise control, buy the ultra unless you like the strip down version.... easier to remove than to add at a high price..
