Default Road Glide Purchase

Hi All,
I'm buying a 2010 RG tomorrow, I have my choice between 2 ( 2 different dealers). Any RG owners that can give me advice would be helpful.
RG#1 is vivid black with a tour pack
RG#2 is flat black with cruise, security, & back rest ( with 4 pt detachable hardware )

Do you think a passenger would be content with a back rest VS a tour pack? other than that the RG#2 is $10. a month cheaper....

It all comes down to...."is momma comfy"?

thx............D

It is about 1200.00 bucks to add a tour pak...momma will love the tour pak. One suggestion, always get cruise control. You wont regret it

you can always add the tourpack later. i think the flat paint will be much easier to care for. Cruise is a really nice option.

Oh yeah, are you reading here about the potential 2011 RG Ultra? Maybe you should wait a few days, unless you are getting a killer deal.

I couldn't get momma real happy until I added a tourpak. She just feels more comfortable-according to her over riding with a backrest. And cruise should be an easy addition. Enjoy your ride!

I think I can help you. You will want the tourpak for comfort and to carry all the gear you'll need when riding 2up. You can see that I have the VB and it is a lot of work to keep it nice. The flat black might be easier. You might want to consider adding a TP to RG#2. You should be able to do that for around $600.

PM me if you have any questions.

Steve

600 bucks for a tour pak?? I think they list around 700 bucks, then add the pad for another 175.00, detachable mount is about 175.00 the list goes on........lock cylinder kit 35.00. He may find a 20% off but he would still be up there in price.

Might be $1200 for an ultra TP. I bought a Road King TP (no antenna mount) from Chicago Harley for $560.

Of course, when you add the mount and GJ relocator, it would add another $300 or so to the bill.

I thought about waiting for the '11's More colors,etc... But I have narrowed it down to these 2 bikes. Personally I like the flat black with it's extras, but the tour pack is a huge sell to the wife....+ it's detachable. I guess for ME, I'd like the flat black.... for HER, the comfy seat.......you married guys understand my dilemma?

Yes, you're right. Here is my list for the Tourpak. It does add up. Prices are approximate.

1. King Tourpak - $600
2. Quick disconnect mount - $300
3. GA relocator - $150
4. Mustang backrest - $300

$1350
