I have an 06 ElectraGlide Classic and I went detatchable on the tour pak and put a lowering kit on the rear. Monday thru Friday, I have a StreetGlide and on the weekend I have an EG Classic and I am paying for just one scoot.

As one post noted, I also have the Electra Glide Classic with the detachable tourpack. I even added the black painted air cleaner cover and a night train timer cover to blacken it up more.
I did not see it mentioned, so forgive me if I missed it, but an EGC and SG ride differently. The SG has slammed shocks which gives it a lower profile and more of a performance suspension ride. That's not better or worse than the EGC--just different.
I spent a day on both and went with the EGC. But they are both excellent bikes.

Back to the start.. After reading your post.. I believe you are leaning more towards the EG.
Go for the gusto... buy the '08 SG!! Enjoy life, ride a shiney new bike. There isn't any minor or major problems with the TC96 that money can't fix.. [sm=trust_me.gif]Really.. I'd want the SG, they are cool!! What's 20k now-a-days? Peanuts..

In response to Freedom fighter. First ask yourself "what am I going to do with the bike" is it for riding down to the local handout, one maybe two trips a year? Do I want to be able to take several trips a year in comfort? Do I need room for the wife/gf????....this will help in making your decision....I've owned 20 Harley's, everything from a 51 Pan hard tail, sporty's, Classic, Ultra Classics, FXLR's, shovels.....not to mention all the other brands....are you a tourer or a cruiser????
Of all of the bikes I've owned, the FLXR was the best handling Harley, a blast in the twisties. NO, It's not a sport bike, but it was a lot of fun. BUT, no rear seat, no bags....moved to a '90 EC, sweet bike...moved to Ultra...now we're talking....all the creature comforts.....and I like the creature features.....
Buying a 07 EC this week....I have a 2007 goldwing trike for the "our" bike...it's the most comfortable for MY wife, not necessarily yours, but mine....the EC will be the "ME" bike.....
It'll do all I ask of it. I too was looking at the SG, but I like the tourpac......they're damm handy to have. ANd I like the chrome on the EC, hey I'm a chrome junkie....
So, answer some of the questions for yourself, biggest being What do I want out of the bike.....then make a choice and go for it....
Everyone here for the most part is happy with what they ride and will of course say get the SG, get the EC, go for the UC......but that's them and me.....
The bike is for YOU and not me or anyone else here.....
keep us posted and be safe.....
