Default What do you think the difference is?

Between a FLHTCI Electra Glide Classic and an FLHTCUI Ultra Classic of the same model year that would make the Ultra Classic 12 pounds heavier and approximately 7/8" longer than an Electra Glide Classic.

let's think about this....lower fairings, rear speakers, brake light kits and the wiring associated with it. That about covers it. I think the length is the same between the two models.

The difference in length it in the tourpak configuration. The Ultra has the wrap around lights on the tourpak and the classic does not.

Ultra has a CB radio and also cruise control that adds some more weight.

I took the lowers off my Ultra last week, and those things weigh more than you'd think. And, as other have said, there's the CB, cruise, light bar on the tourpack - and presto, you've got 20# or so of stuff.

don't forget style...

Style is heavy

If it were named Ultra and did not way more: would you really believe it was "Ultra"

Hell yes, the cruise is worth 20 lbs on a long ride.

The Ultra should actually be lighter because the rider should have less cash in his pocket
