The ultra is a nice ride. If you do a lot of 2 up riding that bike provides all the storage and comforts. I would recommend you rent one for a weekend to see how you both like it. Most dealers will offer you the rental fees towards the purchase.
Good luck with your search.

For ME.... the "rule" is.... when I walk away from the bike, do I look back at it? or just walk away?
Bikes ain't cheap....they have to "move" you.
You can add a "wrap around back rest" to any bike.... take the OL for a test ride, and get her input.
I'm partial to the FLTRU... (road glide ultra), but you can fit a tour pack, on any bike... it just costa money...

Road Glide Ultra of course........ Sweetest ride in the HD lineup IMHO. It'll make mama happy and keep a grin on your face for years to come! I came to HD from a 2003 R* Silver Edition and though it's not an ULTRA, my wife loves it and says it's a far better ride for her.
