Default Decisions

I recently finished My SG for the Second time now..5k mile total on it, Been wanting an Ultra in the Worse way, But My Sg is a blast to ride&nbsp\\; around town with the HP and TRQ from the 107"....But I keep thinking how comfy and the Luxury will Be from riding the Ultra around with the Wife or Daughters on the Back.., My ultimate goal would be to keep the SG and Buy the Ultra... But Don't know If I can swing it right now....But, I have so much sank into the SG,I'll come out way upside down....Another option for now to do, Is buy another seat,and a Chopped Tour pack and put them on for the long rides.....Why are lifes decisions so Hard..
&nbsp\\;
Heres the SG

Keep what you have, ad the parts you want, make them removable and you will have the best of both worlds!&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

You've got a gorgeous SG.&nbsp\\; Keep it.&nbsp\\; Go detachable with everything you want, and ride the freakin' tires off that thing.&nbsp\\; You'll be in it a lot less, and it's still your ride, the way you want it, and best of all moma can lean back on the tour pak and enjoy it with you.&nbsp\\; NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO SELL....&nbsp\\; You'll take a bath!!

Ditto the others....since you have the SG, kept it and add on what you need.&nbsp\\; Your&nbsp\\;SG looks sharp, and the Ultra is not that far from what you have anyway...

Make the SG comfortable for the wife and daughter.&nbsp\\; It's easy to do and you know what's needed.
&nbsp\\;
Bet&nbsp\\;you are looking for another project bike since the SG is running out of "projects" for you.
