about to pull trigger on electra glide classic
Hello everyone, I finally decided to almost buy a egc. I don't know much about baggers all I know is that I'm tired of bungeeing stuff to my sissybar. The street glide is really nice but I would rather have a quick detach tour pak than have to spend $1000.00 on one to put on the sg. The egc sits the same height as my 07 wideglide. Is there something I should be aware about these bikes? Is the motor rubber mounted or solid? Thanks, Bill.

They cause more divorces than any other bikes, you will spen the wifes make up money, start saving your beer money for parts, then disappear for days at a time.
I would just admit you are getting old and go for the UC limited and be done with it, you will have to put a docking attachment to make the tp detachable if you want the SG look. The SG sits lower so it does look a little cooler, but I have read about it bottoming out. Tough call, I would ride them all then pick and choose what you like best. I went in to buy a RG and left with a UC.

Come on over to the dark side!!! Ride a while with tour pack, then decide about making it detachable. You will find it very handy place to lock your stuff. holds 2 helmets, with room for other goodies too.

+1 EGC is the best bang for the buck. The EGC will ride smoother than the Street Glide, and as for the tour pack, I go through moods....fast on/off option. It's a good winter project. However, I suggest riding a while with it. As someone said, you just might get addicted to having a trunk for your goodies.
