Buy new bike

Hello all, I bought my first Harley last May, a 2007 Dyna Lowrider and have been extremely happy with it, to the tune of 8000 miles on the odometer already. In order to get my wife to ride more I set it up with a Sundowner seat, detachable backrest/luggage rack, detachable windshield and saddlebags but it still isnt real comfortable for her so I am selling it and buying either a new Road Glide or a new Electra Glide Classic. Problem is, I don't know which one is the better bike for me. I will be doing 80% of my riding solo so am leaning towards the Road Glide, I just want to know for sure that I could put a detachable backrest/luggage rack on it with T-Bag and my wife be just as comfortable on a long ride as she would be on the Classic.

Both are wonderfull bikes. I would suggest you rent each one for a weekend and then decide. Good Luck.

I think you would be happy with either bike. Both are awesome! To answer your question yes you can put the backrest, or tour pak if you decide to on either bike. Good luck
