Inquired about trading my 11' Street Glide in on a 12' Ultra Classic. Dealer tells me...My bike plus 2500 cash.

Man it is so tempting!
I had a CVO UCEG last year. It was my first Touring bike (coming off an FL Softail) and I had an issue with the weight up high. I traded it for a CVO RGU and while it was better it still felt "top heavy". Ended up trading it off for a Street Glide & picking up a FXDC as a second bike. Now after a year on the FLHX I find myself looking at full dressers again.
I really like my Streeter and I've spent some good coin on it. Always looking for greener grass I guess!

 

Depends on how much $$$ when you say you' ve spent a lot on your bike. You will never get out what you put into it. If it were stock to stock, that's a great deal. Sounds like you are going through a lot of bikes. Why not get detachable tour pack and a different seat, that way you can have both modes.

 

my thought exactly, why not get a tour pack ,new seat and with the detachable brackets and make it how you want it. There really is no difference between UCEG and SG except seats and few other extras i am sure you can buy, but what ever makes you happy go for it.

 

Only one good answer to the question. You need them both.

 

Sleep on it a litttle, there are Always deals to be had.

 

My first thought was that you should get your SG set up with quick detach tourpak and vented lowers, then you can change it back and forth as your whim dictates.

But then DuraGlide chimed in with THE ONE TRUE answer.

 

Duraglide, nice lift. I have the same one from Harbour Freight.

 

Just get a quick detach for your current ride. Now if you can afford both, I guess thats an option too.. but they are so close I think a detach is the way to go. Wait a week. Man I went back and forth on the SG with a detach, vs an ultra for months. But if I already had an SG I invested in, and just longed for a trunk.. just get the trunk. Why get a whole new bike?

 

Don't forget that the Street Glide is factory slammed and the UG has the full rear suspension, for starts.

 

Visited 3 dealers today, rode some bikes...Not doing the EG!! To much like tanks at parking lot & lower speeds. Just not something I'm comfortable with.

Focus has shifted. Gunna wait to see what the 2013's are like. If i don't see the changes I want to see on certain models, I will either change the batwing to a shark nose on my FLHX or trade my Street Glide & my Super Glide Custom in on a CVO RGC/SG (if I can find color combos I like).
