Anyway, while the Ultra or Electra Glide standard will be nice, but the SG can always be upgraded with different shocks - you'll just have to save your pennies to do that (what's the CAN equivalent to the US penny?)
Good luck.

If you want the street glide, stick to your guns and get it. I don't ride one but IMO the street glide and the road king are often the best looking harleys on the road. The 2013 will have the 103 and ABS(I think). Make sure that the bike has really good tires at purchase time. Replacing tires is expensive and annoying.

Look around for a newer Ultra Limited if it's within your budget. It will have everything you'll need for touring so that next year you won't be saying 'Oh I really would like this or that on my bike'. As one of the earlier posts said - you can always remove the tourpak when you are not on the road.

thanks for the responses guys
Just got an email from the guy, he sais the 2013 that im looking at has cruise control but no abs/sec
i dont believe the ultra is in the price range right now, so just the normal glide is what i'll be going for
is abs a big thing for these bikes? is it a pretty much need it kind of thing? or its a nice that you have it but not a required thing

To the OP, of the two SG's that you mentioned, out of the gate, the 2010 will have single exhaust and either a TC96 or TC103 motor, while the 2013 will have 2-1-2 exhaust and TC103 motor.
