I have the Ultra Limited and it runs 90% of the year looking like a Street Glide since I have the quick release for the tourpack and a SG seat for in town use. When I hit the road for trips I put the big seat and tourpack on.

Great job! You named out all the reasons why I went with an Ultra and tricked it out rather than start the other way. The wet head motor alone does it for me. Great stuff!

Nice comparison Tall. You’r right about the back suspension. 12” on the SG and an 1” shorter than UL! This means that you have 1 inch less stroke!! The SG does’nt move😂😂 I own an Ultra lid 2021 now. Had a RKS before and changed the shocks for 13”…longer stroke suspension, better handling, and no scraping floorboards and sidestand anymore. The lights in Holland are different, the UL has 2 separate turnsignals and only taillight and extra second brakelight in the case. So make thisone detachable is easier,….if you want. The UL takes corners very sharp and i have no problem to keep up with a Yammie Tracer 900 GT in the “mountains” of Luxemburg 💪🏽

I brought my SG in 09. When I brought it I got it because I liked the stripped down look of the SG. If you look at my bike today, it looks more like Ultra than it does a Street glide. If I was to buy a new bike today it would be an Ultra.

First off, really enjoyed getting to meet you at Bootlegger the other day and thanks so much for steering me to the part that I needed; I was able to get it put on at the hotel parking lot and the rest of the trip went great. You saw my ultra limited sans tour pak while we were visiting. I'm only 5'4" so I'm at the other end of the spectrum from you on height and clearance issues. I definitely like the twin-cooled system and that along with heated grips and a couple of other features sold me on the ultra instead of the Street glide. I lowered my bike so it pretty much sits like a Street glide now. I think you'd absolutely love the ultra Limited. I got a seat from a Freewheeler and use that when my tour pack is off to give it a little sleeker look. Thanks again for the help and safe travels sir.

Excellent video, one major diffence you missed is the limited has different tires. They are touring tires with more side wall making for a softer ride over small lines and cracks in the road. The liw profile tires on the Streetglide are more firm and transmit bumps to the shorter Streetglide shocks making the ride rougher.

Hey Tall, Excellent comparison video as always!! Thank you. I'm a 2019 Ultra Limited owner and absolutely love it coming from an 08 Cross Bones Springer with 16" bars. I do need to put some 10" KST bars on to be more comfortable long distance, but the bike is ready for many miles. I have zero regrets, except that they came out with the black package after I bought mine. Otherwise, perfection!

Great comparison, I bought a Gauntlet Gray Blacked Out Ultra Limited, 2021 and love it. I did the math, it was less costly for me to buy the Ultra vs buying the SGS and adding everything to make it what I wanted and I just added in some Rebuffini parts and I have a lot of add ons and very happy. Super highway cruiser, chews up the miles in major comfort and nothing like it. I would not change a thing at all, well the suspension was changed right off the rip LOL. Truly one of a kind bike.

Excellent video. I have an Ultra Limited and I like to remove the TourPack for short-distance use or when I'm not riding with my wife, who loves the TP's rear seat. I notice a big change in handling when I take off the TP from the Ultra. In this configuration it almost transforms into a Street Glide CVO, as it maintains the engine head cooling system.

Ultra limited for me. 2018 Anniversary Edition. Fits me and what I do perfectly. I need the tour pack to keep my laptop in for work. I ride every day for work all over East Texas. I like the driving lights. They light up the bar ditches well and help me avoid deer and other varmints at night. My bags are always full of equipment and so all I really have is the tour pack to carry stuff. The only drawback for me is the bars are too short. They need to be higher. I plan on changing that in the future. It makes low-speed handling harder to do, Good video Tall. God Bless!

Hey Tall. I have a 2014 ultra limited. When you buy the tour pack kit , it comes with four point docking brackets and break lights that go under the saddle bag lids along with relocation antenna bracket and a license plate holder for when you take off the tour pack. It takes less than five minutes to take to take off and put back on the tour pack. I have the best of both worlds 🌎

Actually Harley could do us all a favor and combine the benefits of both bikes. Then I wouldn't have to make this decison.

FINALLY!!! Somebody that understands my pain. I'm only 5'11 and have a 32 inch inseam and both bikes sit me to close to the tank. I ride the Hammock Seat on my 2015 Ultra Limited, but believe it or not, the most comfortable seat I have ridden is the police seat (aka the tractor seat). For a long legged rider, it sits you up higher, moves you back farther and puts your knees at a comfortable bend. It also give you a lot better control.

You put this video out shortly after I decided to purchase a 2016 Ultra Limited last year. I had been looking at all the touring bikes, including Indian, and finally decided on the Ultra. I'm 5'7" so this was certainly the biggest bike I have ever owned. But after searching and comparing my notes I recently bought a HD Reach seat which lowered the seat height and brought my legs in closer to the bike. It also brought me closer to the gas tank but I'm not done with my mods yet. I just got a set of 10" Paul Yaffe Original Monkey bars which is my next winter project, then I plan on putting Legend Suspensions Air-A shocks on the rear with the compressor and hand switch on the bars and a gauge on the inner fairing. Love my Ultra and plan on riding it this next year from Sacramento to Wichita Kansas and back. Just something else on this old man's "Bucket List.". Thanks for all the videos.

I just got my 2017 CVO Ultra a month ago and the ride is incredible!! I am currently trying to convert it to the street glide version but the total cost to do that is somewhere around 600 bucks. The tour pak is hard mounted so you have to buy the quick detach kit, lights for turn signals, which I'm getting the slim bag lights from Custom Dynamics anyway, plus if you still want to ride 2 up you have to purchase a sissy bar and back rest, another few hundred unless you go chinese. But then the quality just isn't there compared with the Harley chrome and steel parts. So to convert my ultra to a street glide we're talking about 8 bills and some change. Good stuff as always Tall and God Bless Brother! Ride Safe!!

Good Job breaking down the differences.... not knowing back in '09 Picked up a CVO Ultra, it took a bunch of $$ to make it double as a Street Glide.... HD used to have the amp under the tour pack (not sure if that changed), went aftermarket on the tunes. I am 5'9" with a 32" inseam, lowered the bike 2" to get me flat footed. Me personally the lowers are the way to go hands down, as i ride 12mo's a year, ran across several articles that stated motors run cooler with lowers. All of which can be added to a SG. I don't like the stretch bags, as I on the last 3 builds go to a D&D Fat Cat. Less HP left on the table with a 2 into 1 sys. (not a fan of ghost pipe) All said and done, I like the best of both worlds, and you nailed it (higher center of gravity w/Tour pack). Like your Challenger Vids too, never thought I might even think of going that direction. I'm still shopping, but do so with a clear mind. Thanks for the help.

We were thinking of a ultra but the seat height is going to be a issue for sure. My son has a new road glide but I don’t like the forward design of the fairing.

I went from a Street Glide to a Limited. I'm 6'2". I agree with everything you said. In parking lots, Street Glide is easier. On the highway, Limited is the way to go. A suggestion on climbing aboard: watch how Motor Officer's mount. Stand on the right floorboard. Then swing your left leg over the seat. Easier on my old legs, and easy to clear the Tour Pack. Get off by standing up on the right board and swing the left leg over. Easy, and safer, since you're not stepping off into traffic.

I have a 15 limited and comes with an adjustable tour pack. I can move it back 3.5in back and I did so for my passenger. Because I put an extended reach rod sofa since I'm 6' 4.5" tall. I also put the 12" apes with a 7.5" pull back and is very comfortable. With the 12's your hands are right at the top of the batwing but air is still funneled over the top of your hand. Due to the aerodynamics of the batwing. The biggest advantage of the Limited over the S.G. not mentioned is the length. Also with the water cooled heads on the Limited you get 10:1 pistons. Once you set the bike up right with cams,exhaust,air intake,hydr. lifters,adjustable push rods,rods, a tooth on the drive sprocket from 41 to 40,and a good tuner in place. The big bike you speak of eats S.G.'s for breakfast. Plus the extra length of the Lim. is so much more stable and handles like a dream. Just my 2 cents about the 2 bikes but I'll never have a desire to ride a S.G. after having my Lim. I rode out to Beartooth Mountain Pass with other half and put on 2450 miles in 6 days without a problem or ache. You won't do that on a SG no matter what model it is. RIDE SAFE and WATCH THOSE 4-WHEELERS ON CELLS!!!

Hey Tall, like you said a street glide is basically a stripped down Limited. There's another difference especially on the used market. People pay MORE for a street glide because a lot of people think oh it's a "street glide " so it's the cream of the crop. I have a 2013 EG and after a few modifications will look like a "street glide" but it will cost me far less than buying a street glide and adding a tour pack, 4 point docking bracket, painting it and such. Ride safe, keep gliding 🤙🏾

I just came across this video from Tall and I have a 2016 Ultra Limited. I'm a whopping 5'7" tall and just bought this bike last year. I quickly found out that I had bad inner leg cramps around my upper thighs from the stock seat. So I recently bought a REACH seat from HD and I'm closer to the ground. So maybe this seat change might be something that would benefit you. Now I am changing to a set of Paul Yaffe 10" Original Monkey bars. Doing it myself instead of giving a dealership a $1k to do the install. Hope this helps and keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.

I sold my 09 street glide and bought an ultra limited. Love it. But I also loved my street glide

I've owned several of each and prefer my current CVO steetglide over the ultra limited. I've got the detachable tour pak for mine but only use it for 2 up which is only 10% of the time. Like the RG vs SG it comes down to personal preference

I prefer an air cooled bike. Nice and simple and you have to be more of a true motorcyclist to understand you need to keep moving to keep the bike cool. Not just sit there like your in a Honda Accord. I'm glad i clicked the vid because i forgot a lot of the touring line is water cooled. The best is the Electraglide Standard. I ride a 13 Streetglide. 13 inch shocks and no computer screen or abs but i keep an eye on new releases because at some point i'll need a new bike. Good video

I rode a softail springer for 13 years before buying an ultra…oh…my…gawd the differences, wow. I love the tour pack, I love having all that waterproof space to hold gear! These helmets aren’t getting any cheaper, plus a comm unit, plus youtube recording and audio gear…without trying you easily have over $1k just in a helmet rig. Sure is nice to put that thing in a lockable tour pack before walking into a restaurant.

I bought a street glide and am slowly turning it into an ultra. I wanted a 2021 with that sweet snake venom paint and black finish. They only made the blacked out on the street glide. Ended up finding one that already came with a factory paint matched tour pack. And even when i bought the bike, i had no plans on keeping the tour pack on it all the time. But its only been off once since i bought the bike. Really just need to add lowers and speakers in the tour pack yet and i will essentially have an ultra. Hoping to have that done before sturgis next year.

Nice review. I love the Priodigy rims on the SGS. Very sexy. The Enforcer rims on the Ultra limited are played out. I would have to upgrade them.

I know one thing for sure, I 6'4" and I love my Ultra Classic. I have a Heritage Softail, Road King and a Ultra Classic. My number one go to bike is the Ultra Classic. I have just put a quick release bracket on my your pack and added a quick release sissy bar and back rest. I love it !!. Ultra Classic is the way to go. it rides so smooth, at 80 I do believe I could stand up on it. There is no comparison between the two. it looks to me the Ultra fits you better. but like you said, you need a tall boy seat. you look better on the Ultra

With a head set on the limited you can change stations, search songs, take and make phone calls and also voice commands for gps. All that good stuff, to distract you, from your riding. lol

I have filler-lights and lights on my side saddles on my Ultra. I had the SG in the past. They are both great machines. However, I do love the heated grips on the Ultra on those cold days. I think shorter riders would be better on the SG. I think both bikes are made for those of us who are 6 feet.

I have an 18 olive gold limited with full rinehart exhaust and s&s 465 cam chest kit and I am in love with my glide but I believe they should put better seats on the bike even though I have a heated seat so with that being said what brand seat do you believe is the most comfortable for long ride

Street glide cvo 2015 - 2017 has liquid cooled twins, too. For 2018, the CVO Street Glide loses water-cooling and gets an oil-/air-cooled Milwaukee-Eight 117 powerplant.
