Rock older yes.....more mature......I doubt. But I think you are right on one thing. Black is faster.

I am going to say throw them in, they got a fairing, but not an EG. I think they are sharp bikes, but just not functional enough for me. I would miss my light bar. Also why make a touring bike without a touring seat?

IMO better off getting FHTC and taking off what you don't want and add waht you do. Then you got something custom.

But like I said I do like the look of them.

My new ride, pretty much stock, except for rack and rails, had them installed before I picked it up.
Got fat cat, SE AC, SERT, and HD cooler on order.

I like the look, too. But I made the mistake yesterday of putting the wife on an Ultra at the dealer...just to see how we fit with a tour pac on. To quote a certain gentleman from San Diego....DAMMIT! We both loved the feel of that bike.

No matter. I like the a$$ end view of the SG and it would cost $$$ to replicate that on an Ultra. Plus I like the stripped look of the front end, too. And the body color bag latches. So far, I'm ok with my choice. I can add a Tour Pac and make it detachable. I can also put on longer Progressive air shocks for about $285 or so to give it smoother suspension. It already has a better seat....a pillow look from an Electra Something or other. I know, I know, its not the right seat, but I like the feel and it came with the bike.

Bottom line, if you like the look of a SG but want the features of an Ultra, no matter what you do it's gonna cost you extra money. It's not simply a matter of stripping the Ultra, particularly if you don't want two tone paint or pin stripes.

Then again, the '08 Ultras are just around the corner...DAMMIT!!!!

I do like the solid paint on FLHX. FLHX are supposed to be hot sellers right now. Dealer might give you a good deal on it.

I got detach tour pak on my FLHR, but I do like the feel of the rigid mount. Though I haven't tried taking the seat off yet.

Like I said I like the look with no light bar, but would really miss mine. Got 50watters and it really shines. Plus its more chrome.

You going to make it a hotrod bagger Berserker? I have a little fear in that we travel great distances with these. Perhaps we need a 2nd bike to hotrod. My bike is built pretty similar to what you have on order there.

...the seat is OEM, comfortable enough for an all day ride, a couple times in a row.

Here's my '07

[Chameleon]

Here is my 90 FLHTC, the pic is from 05 when I was putting it back together after missing a corner between Eureka Springs and Rogers, AR.

It is all together now and I turned over 100,000 miles on her this year. Not all mine though.
