Ultra has much more included for much more money. Fine machine. R G just flat a$$ handles the road better. Pick your poison, they're both fantastic machines.

I've considered both as well and decided on the Ultra. Even though the majority of my riding will be solo, I'm a traditionalist and just like the looks of the Ultra better. I think that's what it boils down to..your gut feeling when you see the bike, and which one "fits and feels" best for YOU. If you're like me and can afford either (the Ultra's about $5K more), consider yourself blessed and fortunate to have that choice! Thank God for our good fortune, this great sport and opportunity! Enjoy, ride safe and God bless...  

Roadking,  Well said

Screamin did you guy the RG??  What type of windshield are you using??  (Stock?)

[Screamin]

??  Yep, got both. Really like both a lot. Put a 12" R G shield on and it's much better. Getting a 15" for the trip to Milwaukee. Little black trim piece (windscreen - 4") is for looks only and provides absolutely no protection.

The ultra definitely looks better but there is something to be said for being alittle different and I think the RG would be alittle different than the norm...  Good luck with your decision...

[customryder]

ride both for 1 hour.. the choice will be easy..

I had an 05 Road Glide - traded in for the 08 SEUC.  Like others have said, the RG is a smoother ride with the frame mounted fairing...but I now know, there is a reason they call the Ultra "Ultra"...I'm enjoying all the creature comforts the SEUC provides and have not looked back!

Anybody knows if the Ultra comes with the removable TP?

no

Anybody knows if the Ultra comes with the removable TP?

It's supplied as a fixed TP Jorge.  Primarily because of the physically large amp and its large harness mounted beneath it.  Several here have done away with the amplifier and harness and converted the tour pak to detachable though.

[wenchal]

With popularity of the Road Glide and number of Ultra owners pulling the tour pak and wanting the other creature comforts - MoCo should make a SE version of the older Tour Glide, basically an Ultra with Road Glide faring, and make the tour pak come off like the SEEG.

The Ultra.  The Road Glide is lowered and as such does not make for a comfortable long distance tourer.  Having ridden the 2005 CVO classic, comparing that to my 2007 CVO Ultra one notices the increased suspension travel over nearly all road surfaces.

Thanks for the information.  I rode it in Sturgis (Rapid City)  and the turbulance on the stock version was really bad.  Is the 12 inch high enough?  Can you see over it??
