Dont mess around, get an ultra. I was going to get a steetglide and Im glad I didnt. I find all the extras I thought I could live without come in pretty handy, it costs so much more to add them latter. The tour pack is the most convienent storage you can have very roomy and everything is easy to get at unlike saddle bags. I was going to get a quick detach for it, cool street look, but the trunk is so handy I dont know if I would take it off very much.
It depends whats important to you.

I agree with tubeman i was looking at a street glide and bought a ultra love the tour pack and my pals with the street glide are adding a lot of the stuff that comes standard on the ultra and the stereo sounds better to.lol

You know in your heart what you want, now just go out and get it. Although I'd wait a week or so, just to see what's lurking on the 2010 release.
