Default Ultra Classic 2 Street Glide
I have an 08 ultra and at interstate speeds I get a wobble pretty bad. I rode a friends SG and he rode mine, wow what a dif. The SG handles so nice. I cant believe it, I thought the ultra would be the better handling bike---Guess I am wrong. Anyone here every trade an ultra for a SG

What year was the SG? IF your friends bike was an 09 or 10, there is no fair comparison. The new frame is incredible in difference of handling.

Yes his was an 09. I really like that bike. It is really fun to ride and handels like a dream. I am sure a 10 would be even better. I am just afraid to trade and miss the ultra's storage and what not. I really am not sure what I should do.

I'm in the process of making the tour pak detachable on my UG, from those that I've seen that have done this it makes them look like a dressed up SG.

Go for a new Ultra '09 leftover or '10 and dress 'er down to SG. Best of both worlds...End of the story, Eh.
