Default Difficult choice......

Im thinking about getting a new bike. I like my Road King but want something more comfortble for me and the wife on a long trip. I'm wondering if I could get some opinions on pros and cons of either a Road Glide or an Ultra Limited.

Rent. Most dealers will either give you a free "rental" as a test ride or rebate the rental fee if you end up buying. The RG vs. UC is such a subjective decision, you've got to ride 'em to know what's best for you.

Dude you dont even have to rent in cali all the dealers i have been to you can borrow the bike for the day as long as you have the m indorsement and a dot helmet, all you have to do is sign a sheet and bring it back with fuel before the dealer closes.

Bought the Road Glide. Had a 103" stage 4 engine kit and Reinhart pipes installed. Holy s#*t! What a great bike. The electronic throttle is taking some getting used to, but I love this thing.

The Road King and Ultra share the same frame etc. Maybe all you need is a better seat.

Sounds like you need to find one with a wide enough fender to strap a recliner on???
