I know I had a problem buying a HD SG but my dealer asked if I would be interested in a Classic at $2 K LESS then the SG ? I have a Black Denim w/Power Pak coming in next week and he has a EGC also in Silver w/ ABS and Cruise coming in with it . Now I know the Classic has a few items I want for the SG (Guards- Lights- Etc. ) I would have to take off Rear back Pak-Windshield- rear shocks- and side saddlebag guards- etc. I could most likely sell alot of items and make some more cash back ? With that extra cash I could do cams on the engine and get just as much power and maybe MORE then the 103 ?
What would you do ? Save the money and get the Classic and make it what you want OR just get the SG and pay the more money and get what you need ?
Thanks for all your answers

 

The Classic, biggest bang for the buck. Then you can build your SG out of it as time and money allows.

 

it's kind of a convertible-
eg classic. detachable tourpak, added lowers, roadking signal bar & plate mount. I have stock, streetglide and brawler seats, and swap windscreens depending on what i am doing.
i also swap shocks- stock for long trips loaded up, SG if I am just going to be around town.
The best of all worlds for me. I have not ridden my FXR since i got this bike, stripped down it's plenty light and fun.

to my eye, the guards around the saddlebags are preferable to just a big box hanging there, and the guards have saved me some damage on past bikes.
The fairing lowers give a visual balance ( to my eye- I like the overall profile of the bike to be a teardrop) are practical for weather, and improve cooling this motor in this warm climate

You just sold your Ultra because you complained about it sitting too high & had a tour pak,etc. The Classic is the same as an Ultra with a few more options, WTF?

 

Yes I know the UC has way more then the EGC and when the dealer told me the difference was $2K LESS it kind of hit me? I sold my UC for almost the SAME PRICE as the EGC ? How is that for HD holding their value?
I can not believe you are following my threads ? LOL! Thanks for the following ! LOL!

 

Hmmmm, not sure I'd beleive this info cause It may be a scam!!!

 

Ain't that the truth. They do a nice job with low speed drops and I've seen a few.

 

Hey you will get plenty of opinions on this but at the end of the search if you want the x buy it . If you are looking for a deal buy the classic.

 

The Classic gets my vote.

 

I agree with others the EGC is the best bang for the buck in the touring line up.

Strip it down or dress it up some more. Just a great bike to make your own.
