Default ? for all 09 Tri Glide Owners

If you had the chioce would you of bought the 2010 Street Glide instead. Your 09 Tri Glide I Think I would of not for the 3K less I think it looks more like the old service car. Would of been nice if the trunk on the 2010 Street Glide opened from the top. No more leaks that way no trunk door opening when you hit a bump. Will run and feel cooler with out the front fairing. I like it .

Nope, I'm happy with my '09 Tri-Glide! No trunk leaking, no brake squeaking, no excessive heat, no engine pinging.

Like all the comforts that the Ultra Tri-Glide provides....

I agree with Spudster. I'll keep my Tri-Glide.

Nope, very happy with the Tri Glide. It replaced a similar sized trike. We were very comfortable with the size, features etc. Riding 2up on longer trips we really like the extra storage etc.

No way!!! Love my TG, the back seat, the tour pak, the lower fairings and I don't want an old service car look. Heck, you could take off the tour pak the lower fairings, change seats and have almost the same look, except for the engine guards and the front light.

Given a choice between the Street Glide and the Ultra TG, I’m sure that I still would have chosen the Ultra. When I buy a new vehicle I usually like to order all the bells & whistles and 3 grand just isn’t enough incentive for me to compromise! I hate looking back and haveing regrets that I didn't spend a few extra cents

I posted on another thread that I would miss my Tour-Pak and Lowers and my wife would miss her comfy Passenger Back & Arm Rest; it just occurred to me that when give up the Tour-Pak you also give up the integrated auxiliary rear running/brake lights! I do quite a bit of night riding and like the idea of high mount bake/running light; I was disappointed that Harley didn’t incorporate high mount amber directional into the Tour-Pak light so I installed my own and the amber really grabs attention to the fact that you are turning!

Now let’s reverse Carlo's question; what if your only choice in 2009 was the Street Glide version; would you still have bought a TG?

Does anyone know if there are any changes to 2010 Ultra TG?

The wife would have killed me if I had bought one of those.

Looking at the 360 view it looks exactly the same. Even the trunk looks like it latches closer to the bike on the left side! I did hear they fixed the 5th gear whine in the 2010 models, but I actually like mine. I can hardly hear it over the pipes, but I love knowing when I'm in it. I loose count.
