RE: HD Rental Report
One item not mentioned here is that the standard has the all Silver engine and that has Never been a favorite of mine. I do not like the lower guards or the CB so I went with the Classic - however, it is YOUR bike, do what you want. the math works if you want the tour pack and radio down the road, but they can be added... if you are like me and do not want the all silver engine -Now that is much harder to change later.... enjoy your choice

I agree, my first Harley was a Softail standard and I didn't care for the Silver Engine, I did the Chrome Engine kit and that helped out alot, but it still didn't compare to the Black Engine. After I had over 20,000 miles the silver really started to show it's age.
Just one more thing to think about good luck..........

Hell I even considered the Ultra Classic but I think I'm too young for that bike at 36 years old.

I agree with the others, it is easier and cheaper to trim down the Ultra. I trimmed mine down.

RE: HD Rental Report
When I got my EG, all my friends were calling it a motorhome, two years later almost all of them have one. I have added and added to my standard, radio, cruise, chrome engine etc. etc. No idea how much it has cost. At least I have been able to do my own work, so I saved some there. Bottom line. Get what you want.
