Default Looks like I'm back! It's bagger time again!

Well after a really great year with my CVO Deuce I have decided ( and my back told me so) it was time to go back to a bagger and start to enjoy riding as apposed to riding in pain. I really loved my Deuce(just sold) but after many days of contemplating my next 10 years of riding it is time to invest in a bagger ( again, lol, 07-streetglide to Deuce back to bagger). I have reviewed my best option and it looks like I will have to go with an Ultra Limited. Love the Streetglide but this time around I know it's better to remove pieces ( and cheaper) than to buy them and put them on. I hope to be a proud owner soon and look forward to posting pictures of my new ride. Ride safe .

Keeping my 07 sg forever if I can. Its custom to my tastes. If/when I get another bike it will be a dyna. If I need to get another bagger say in 5 years it will be an ultra as well. As stated, remove parts instead of buying and adding. The only things I dont like about the ultra are the trims on the fenders and around saddlebags. I bought my sg used, and got a good deal. If I would do it again, I would have got the ultra and made it a sg.

Welcome back to the world of comfort! Good luck shopping!

My wife has told me I am simply not allowed to sell my FLHXSE. She says she would be extremely sad if I sold the Street Glide. Just one of many good reasons I married her...!

@ thenewrage... great minds think alike. I already have plans for the detachable tour pack hardware because I do love the streetglide look around town etc. Looking forward to my first ride.
