Model comparison
This is not your typical batwing vs sharknose comparison request.
What I am looking for is specific differences between the different touring models: Electra Glide Classic, Ultra Classic Electra Glide, Electra Glide Ultra Limited, and the Road Glide Ultra.
Is there somewhere that details the components ie. abs standard, cruise control, cb radio, etc etc etc. Also the visual add =on differences, ie the hardbag bracket that only covers the front vs the wraparound hardbag protector.
Thanks in advance.

Without getting into to much detail..
Single = SG or RG for the cool factor because you really don't need the suspension as a single rider.
Girlfriend = SG or RG for the same reasons as above
Boyfriend= Goldwing cause they are really cool
Married = Ultra / Limited
The RG has been growing on me but I think they have the lowered SG suspension. Someone correct me if I am wrong as I am sure someone will.
Just my 2 cents.

The Harley site has a feature/spec comparison capability.

Keep in mind there are TWO models in the Road Glide family: Custom and Ultra. Custom has the 1" lowered suspension (just like a Street Glide) and a solo seat. The Ultra has standard height suspension and a 2-up seat.

Thanks for the replies.
I purposely left out the Road King family, Street Glide, and Road Glide Customs. I wanted to compare the Fairing series that also cam e with the TourPak.
As for the other comments, I have gone to the Harley site and used their compare feature, it doesn't really give what I am looking for.
There are 3 Batwing fairing and 1 sharknose fairing models that come standard with the tourpak. But what are the differences? I cannot find anywhere that goes into the details of what is difference from cosmetically to components.

Obviously, Shark vs. Bat is the main difference. Most prefer the Bat, it seems. (Though I have no idea why.)

I really dont think there is much of a diff. In 2011 when I got my bike the 96/103 was one, abs, security, contrast wheels, titanium gagues, tour pak liner, 12v in tour pak, cruise and heated grips. Since the 103 is standard on all touring now (which pisses me the hell off by the way. Well I was special for a little bit, lmao.) I am guessing that its abs, security etc that is the main diff now. Other than that, they are the same ride. I will now quit spouting out chit I know nothing about, lmao..
