I'd say go with the Ultra. It provide more options. And it's much easier to remove stuff.

Ultra doesn't have ABS? In that case go for the Classic. You can add lowers and rear speakers but you can't add ABS.

If the Ultra don't have ABS and the Classic does, i'd get the Classic. You can put rear speakers on the Classic, but you can't put ABS on the Ultra. I'm not dying to have ABS(pun intended..lol) but if I were buying a brand new bike, it would have ABS. My $.02

I have never had ABS on a bike and not sure why I would need it on an Electraglide.

Any input is appreciated.
Get the Ultra with the 28 spoke wheels.tell them to throw in the ABS & security!!! You will have a better piece of mind knowing you have both!!! I bought a 2010 Ultra with ABS & security for $21,000(including frieght) + tax.You might have to order the Ultra with ABS.

I agree. I would go with the Classic. My last bike was a Classic and besides the CB everything else is very easy to add. And the Classic has the Cruise and ABS already. You will be that much ahead of the game. To me it's a no brainer.
