I never had the intention of converting my EGU into a SG. It was more of a therapy thing after the breakup of a long time relationship. I turned "our glide" into a "my glide". The therapy worked and the new look and lower center of gravity were an added bonus.
After removing the TP, I did the RK rear signal bar and plate swap. I also exchanged the bag guards for black comfort guards and powder-coated the front engine guards. I added SE CVO slip-ons, RG front fender, and SG take off wheels. The SG wheels were added because they were partially black and I never really cared for the original turbine wheels.
Next time, I'll just stay single and buy a SG.

Tour Pack
If you try to make an Ultra into a SG you will fail miserably! It will always look like you tryed to make it into a street glide, in other words 2nd best.
Although I took the tour pack off, I still wanted it to be an Ultra (after all that's what it is), but I wanted it to be a modified Ultra. I decided to keep it bulky and heavy, so that there is no misunderstanding that it was still an Ultra. But it has upgraded suspension, brakes, bars etc... to set it apart from a typical UC.
Keep it true to it's model and make it your own and you find it more appealing as will others. JMO

I'm putting a 113ci kit in this winter. I will be able to pull the front wheel off the ground about 8 inches shifting into 3rd gear (sleeper).

I am starting to downgrade my 2010 Ultra Classic to a "cooler", more single-rider-friendly status. I plan on relocating the antennas, removing the tour pak, and replacing the seat. Any helpful hints? I have already replaced the mirrors, removed the front and rear fender guards, and upgraded the floor boards.
Thanks.
Thanks.
