Default RKC vs Ultra

I keep going back and forth between which one of these 2 I want. I LOVE the looks of the classic, but wonder if the ol' lady will be as comfortable on the RKC as she will the Ultra. Any advice out there? Is the RKC as comfortable as the Ultra for long hauls? Is the Ultra faring really that great or not?

i had both. the FIRST time my wife rode 2 up on the back of the EG she said, "this is way more comfortable" plus she likes the tour pak for storage.

If your old ladys comfort is a issue, then there is no contest, ultra beats custom hands down.

Had a Road King Standard and wife loved it. But since we've had the Electra Glide Classic since 2004, no way would we go back. She's more comfortable and we both love the storage.

You can alwaysput a tour pack on theKing. We didn't care too much for the fairings on the other bikes. too gold wingish, for us
