Default Confussed

Thinking about getting a bigger bike for 2 up and long rides.
&nbsp\\;
Looking at street glides and the standard
&nbsp\\;
I'm thinking do the standard get a lowprofile windshield and a 110" kit and i'm out the door cheaper then the SG.
&nbsp\\;
Any advise?

Yup, should have bought the Ultra, I love my FLHRC, but I'm slowly turning it into an Ultra.

Before I bought my ultra, i talked to several standard riders, they said they wished they had bought the ultra to begin with, as they have been trying to change their standard into an ultra at a lot more cost.&nbsp\\; so i chose the ultra.

Either bike will work.&nbsp\\; See what fits you better.&nbsp\\; I liked the Std. better and added a radio and cruise.

Whatever you get, make sure it has ABS.
