Default What you prefer in a tourer

The Electra Glide standard would do it for me. But do some of you prefer accessories such as radio and adjustable windshield all that?

I've had 2 standards, I like to do my own customizing. Don't know that I really save any money over an ultra but I just can't leave anything alone! Last year for the standard was 2009, that's what I have now. Have added detatchable tour box, tunes, yada yada.

Would you be satisfied with the EG Standard or want more?

After taking several long trips, I'm hooked on the Limited. I like having tunes, a GPS, cruise control, and heated hand grips.

..... i believe the fact that the Motor Co dropped the Standard & only sells accessory laden Ultras & LTDs pretty much answers that question.

..... and yes, i'd like an adjustable windshield on my next Road Glide Limited.
........... in yellow, please.

The Standard was the ideal blank canvas to start with for a lot of people. I wish they wouldn't have done away with it.

A Street Glide Special "S"


Only available in Black, no fancy chrome accessories.


But with the CVO upgraded 114 motor.


Love my '14 with the 103, but just thinking out loud.......
