Keep the Ultra. You can strip it down like a Street Glide for you're around town, and dress it back up when the OL wants to go on a long ride. Just my opinion

Good luck!

 

After riding the Glide you will hate the Heritage. 2 of my friends own one. I have ridden both of them and IMO they handle and ride like Sh$t. Could not give me a softail.

 

I never have had a problem riding an Ultra around town but I guess for some its a problem. My wife traded in her Wideglide for a new Heritage this summer. She test rode a Road King and a Streetglide. She said she felt more comfortable on the Heritage. I tried to talk her into one of the touring models but she refused. It's all in what you are comfortable with.

 

Previous 2 Harleys, 2005 RK Custom and a 2007 E/glide, liked 'em both. Currently own a 2011 Heritage. Best move I have ever made. The Heritage is my favorite Harley I have owned. Cooler running, sets better, easier to handle and rec's more compliments then my FL's.

 

I rode a Valkyrie Tourer for 10 years which had a shield and hard bags. I always loved the look of the Wide Glide so that's what I traded for. That bike lasted me 7,000 miles and all it took was a 2,000 mile road trip and I was ready to trade. This time I decided to go with a new Ultra Classic thinking I could always strip it down if needed.I left it alone for 2 years and then pulled the tour pack off. I felt like I found my long lost friend, it felt so much better and no longer felt top heavy.Since I ride solo 100 percent of the time I also removed the passenger floorboards.My next change was to get rid of the stock seat and add a C&C solo seat with backrest. I liked the bike in stock form but now I'm really enjoying the bike. Looking back I probably should have traded my Valkyrie for a Road King. I think the Road King would have been an easy transition where as the WideGlide and Ultra were a really big change.

 

Road King,, Next question?
