I like the look of the Street Glide but for long hauls the Ultra is my choice.

I like the rear bag/trunk on the Ultra's. I toured two weeks out of one with a broken wrist and was able to fit all my luggage (including rehab equipment for the wrist).

With the back piece on, my wife likes having the backrest and arm rests. The rear foot rests are more like floorboards instead of pegs.

The lower windscreen looks better but doesn't work for my height. On the Ultra the air is directed over or around me. On the SG, the lower screen directed the wind right onto my helmet. On long highway streches, I had to slouch to avoid the buffeting.

I like what Gasman did with his, it seems like a great compromise between the two bikes.
