Default Ultra Classic Electra Glide vs Road Glide Ultra Price...
Has anyone figured out why the Road Glide Ultra is exactly $1,500 more than the Ultra Classic Electra Glide?

Are you comparing an Ultra Classic with a 103 in it compared to the FLTRU or just an Ultra with a 96? The FLTRU comes with a 103

The 103 is only available in the Ultra Limited. Now, compare that price to the Road Glide Ultra that comes with the 103......

Also, check the prices for the paint colors between the models.....another mystery.

I think it's that Power Pak "Option"

Doesn't seem like an option when thats what it comes with
RGU feels heavier off the kickstand than a EGU. Wonder what the
weight diff is. Probl needs the 103 just so it can go the speed limit
w/all the EPA hoo ha.

Still, that new RG Ultra is the sh**.

Something new like the RGU comes out...Harley slaps higher price to ensure money making profit where people will buy them just like the SG's when they first came out...

You are not comparing apples to apples; the RGU is more comparable to a Ultra limited with 103, abs, security & oil cooler. The heated grips, tour pak rack and chrome wheels on the limited add another $2k to it over the RGU.

Not having to ditch the stupid while walls tires off the RGU like I have to on EG's is worth $400 to me also.

The secret hand shake for the RGU is worth a grand. I can't account for the other $500.
