Welcome to the fugly nation. Get a Road Glide Ultra - cruise and ABS standard, comes with lowers and a tour pack. Just get the detach kit to make it into a custom when you want it.
Get the Ultra, forget the detach kit since you won't be taking the TP off. Ask me how I know.
And welcome to the Shark Nation!!
I know how you know. I had the dealer install the detachable kit on my Ultra Limited and have never taken it off. I use the tourpack every time I ride. Dont even have to bend over to use it!
If you even think there is a remote possibility that you may eventually add lowers and a tour pak go for an Ultra. Comes standard with cruise, abs and security which are all an extra $1490 on the Custom. I priced an Ultra in comparison with a Custom with abs, cruise, security, adding a tour pak and lowers (at 20% dealers) and the Ultra was only $158 more. And as was said if you wanna custom get the detachable kit. I compared the looks of the Ultra and a Custom done up like an Ultra and they look really close. Much closer than doing the same thing with a Street Glide compared to an Ultra Classic.
