One thing I know and that is if you are over 6' the Road Glide is more comfortable, From all that I have spoken about this with it seems to be the rule. Do you feel a little closed in on the EG ? If so you will feel more wide open with the RG , the seat you may need a backrest ? I am thinking of trading my ULTRA in is yours an ULTRA ? I have been trying to see what they will give me for it? I have all the Ultra extras( Including Wire Wheels which was an option on 2010 models) and have seen from a NADA book I should get about $21K for it? Your dealer would not give you any more then $15K gets me so worried, you pay so much for them when you buy them but they give very little in Trade-in value amazing ?? Sorry to rob your thread a little I wish you all the best in your trade , If you could post how your deal goes if you do it ? Thanks
Off the bike the RGU looks big and guages and winshield/fairing are further away,the bars don't come back much but the frame,footboard position,crashbars/highway pegs,seat position etc are all the same as the EGlides.That said the floorboard extensions should work ok and function the same.

the seat from your "old" bike will fit on the new Road Glide... swap seats, or trade your old bike in with the original seat on it.
take off ANY accesories that you put on the old bike and put the original stuff back on it before you trade it in.
put your accesories onto your new bike, whatever doesn't work for the new bike... EBAY it!
I save all of the stock parts from my bikes, because when I trade them in I put all of the original stuff back on the bike. whatever fits on the new bike gets put on and whatever doesn't gets sold to cover some cost of buying new parts.
