Yeah, but you've also got a better bike for touring.

True, unless you want a detachable chopped vs. attached King size, etc.
$120 for the older 13" air shocks is simple. Or if you're debating the 12" shocks vs. the now standard on the SGS adjustables?

Cheaper to make a Tour Pak detachable than to buy a Tour Pak. And we're talking about touring, not posing. King Tour Paks only need apply.

Our overnighters are with a Harley bag and my buddy and his wife with a Chopped pack and maybe a bag on top (which still looks better than a King Tour).
Anyway, you're biased, the CVO Ultra is far cooler than a standard Ultra.

Yup, I'm old enough to appreciate sealed, waterproof, lockable storage. When you're older you'll learn too.

Thinking of buying a touring bike. My choice would be either Road King or Street Glide. Don't really much care for the Stereo since I wear an ear plugs and a full face helmet when I ride. Having said that, I was told that the R/K would be a much better touring bike than the Street Glide.
What do you guys (touring people) think?

For those who owns a Street Glide, can you tell what don't you like about it or what's the bad thing about this model. I don't need to know the good thing or the good stuff like GPS and all that because dealers only tells you the good part.

Looks like I am going for 2014 Street Glide Special in Mysterious Red and not the Road King.

I do most of my riding on the highway, that's why I purchased the SGS. I like the instrument cluster and wind protection. I installed a set of JRI rear shocks. SGS suspense didn't fit my needs even with HD's Premium shocks that came with the bike.
