I owned a new - May 2007 Street Glide - sold it at 17,584 miles in June 2009
It had Works Perfomance suspension front and rear / I had a Classic tour pack system, it just never handle well with 2 up fully loaded...
Purchased a June 2009 Ultra Classic - it now has 19,875 miles ( sat for 60 days )
The frame difference is HUGE, IMOP...
For 2 up riding , which I do 90% of the time - the Ultra is the ticket for me, far easier to make it a "Street Glide" but I retained the suspension height...the "jarwing" from the shorter suspension FLHX just did not sit well with me on the long hauls...
15 min. or less and the bike is a lean machine "Bar Hopper"
It was crazy the price difference FLHX Vs FLHTCU and what you get for 2 up riding you just can not go wrong
