RGU is a sweet ride and I agree it a step up from the RGC but I realized after test riding them all, I am a Bat Wing guy. It just feels better for me. If I was 6'6" tall, I would need a Shark Nose to have enough room.

No, not a lot of money here always take my goodies from bike to bike and our used market is still really good here in Milwaukee so I have been lucky.

No 2012 avaiable but the reason I jumped on the 2011 as it was an even up trade. Bike had 4500 miles on it with a year left on the warranty.

I never rode my road glide custom with the stock seat but I can say the shocks and the ultra seat sure make for a smooth ride. I felt I could ride my RGC all day but I know for sure the RGU will be a very easy bike for all day hauls.
