Default Greetings from Indy

Hellow,
I'm Dan and I'm a motohaulic, but I'm not looking for a cure just a new ride.

My current ride is an '08 Buell XB12Xt Ulysses. However I am currently shopping for a full touring bike.
My youngest daughter just graduated high school, and that means my wife and I are planning some major road trips. I love my Buell and am planning to keep it for commuting and solo riding, but it is just not up to long two up touring.
My search for the perfect bike has led me here; I was referred by a fellow repairman at work. The list breaks down like this: Road Glide, Electra Glide Ultra, or Classic. The price range is 10-15K and needs to include the cost of a tour pack if not already equipped.
I'm hopeful that the tech info and personal experience of the community will help me to make an informed purchase.

Regards,
Dan
