I'm 6'3", that's what I like the most about it.

For me, it's a matter of ergonomics. The Ultra just fits me better. I've ridden the RG Ultra but the handlebars are just not a good fit for me. Overall, I think it simply comes down to what bike fits you best. They are both great bikes.

Also, there's the fact that the Road Glides are considered not as attractive or cool, by some.
The thing is with me, I'm already "too cool", so I like to tone it down by riding a Road Glide

I love the Roadie though and couldn't imagine riding anything else but thats the main thing, loving it, no matter the model.

I think the bars on the road Glide Ultra are different, better than the ones that came on my 06".
I'm renting a FLTRU in March in Arizona. Looking forward to it. From the way it feels in the showroom here,I think the bars will be just fine.

My wife and I use the intercom and to set the voice sensitivity there is a radio button to push. Same with the CB.

I like having my tach where it is as well.
I also like being able to stand and see the front wheel to line up with my my cycle scooter when driving it onto it in the garage. Not sure if you can do that with an RG?
