Retiring and own a Heritage. Wife loves riding two-up.. Most chapter friends have Ultras...We have ridden 27,000 miles in two years..Considering trading for an Ultra for retirement since we are going to travel extensively...

Would love to have you opinion on advantage and disadvantage of Ultra vs Heritage after your trips as to wife conforts....

Thanks
Walt

I would LOVE to type up some comparisons once we get some riding in, so stay tuned! Now it may be a bit from now as I don't think the dealership can get us a black Ultra until late Jan or Feb. Then once we get it, my husband is going to ride alone for awhile to get use to it. He's not a real big feller so we're going to have it lowered and do some modifications to the seat. The Heritage was fine without doing any lowering etc but the Ultra sits much higher. So it may be Feb or March until I can post any kind of comparisons, but you can best believe I will! I will post pics asap though.
