I have recently purchased a (what I thought) was an Ultra Classic. On my tag receipt it states that it is a FLHTC. It's my understanding that this is a classic. I have looked at my nephews bike (which is an Ultra) and it has everything on it that his does rear speakers, tourpak, adjustable lower vents, etc. What am I missing?

 

Sounds like an Ultra, you could have a dealer run your VIN and see if it is or someone upgraded a Classic. I would guess it's an issue with your DMV clerk. If it has the options you like what does it matter?

 

I believe the pinstripping is different, and the Ultra has the tank badges while the Classic has tank decals also.

 

check your front fender. One says Classic the other Ultra Classic

 

Do you have a CB? as far as I know the ULTRA is the only one that came stock with a CB

 

Maybe 5 characters is the limit they have for model names.

 

Try the HD VIN decoder.

Also the Ultra has lights in the tour pak. The Classic has none.

 

If it is a 2 tone color the paint scheme is different on the ultra and classic.The pinstripe layout is also different.

 

If it is the one in your avatar then it is an Ultra Classic!!
