Buying new HD, need advice
Currently own 1999 Yamaha Road Star 1600 with all the extras. Trying to decide which model of HD to buy to replace the Road Star. My lady says get one with wrap around back rest or no more long rides. Suggestions?
Thanks much

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.

Think most people suggest to post this in the general area. Rent is the answer. However my dealer will let you test drive if you promise to buy two. Just kidding but they do do test drives.

The Ultra Classic is the way to go,unless you have long pockets & can afford the SE version!!!

2011 Screamimg Eagle's Road Glide or Ultra would be the ticket. After to keep the lady happy a guy should spare no expense! 
Do some homework roaming around at: www.cvoharley.com
Let us know what you think?
As mentioned earlier to not get in deep a Road Glide Ultra or Electra Glide Ultra would do the trick with a little less power and lot less amenties and bling.
