Sounds like a quality problem to have. Not everyone is so lucky as you.

I bought the ultra, We enjoy touring, but I also wanted a street glide, so I figured it was cheaper to make the ultra into a glide part time, than to make a glide into an ultra....

I was stuck between the RKC and the RG. My wife decided for me when she said all you've talked about is Road Kings for the last three years.........so it just "hit" and Road King it was!!

In black so it's fast of course and have not regretted once.............of course in 2 or 3 years I am going to hand it down to her and buy a Road Glide, but that's a ways down the road.

Get the one you WANT and quit overthinking it.

You need to rent each one of the finalist for at least a 1/2 day each. Rent for a full day and split it with two different bikes. Many dealers will do this. Ride em both and then it will be much easier to make your decision. Also, make sure the dealer takes the rental fees OFF the purchase price. This is a pretty common practice. Good Luck on your decision.
