Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide (FLHTC) review

The 'daddy' of the Harley touring range. long distance capabilities coupled with rider and pillion comfort. Excellent stereo
Stereo, comfort, pose value, passenger and pillion footboards
A Honda Goldwing is still the ultimate in touring machines. Still no reverse.

The 2006 Ultra Classic Electra Glide receives a number of updates. Most notably the revamped clutch is said to be up to 25% lighter to work meaning less head and wrist ache while slowly trolling through the inevitable traffic you will encounter.

The new Tour-Pak luggage system has been redesigned to be easier to use while also being more sturdy.

Excellent rider and pillion stereo controls. Also comes with a rider and pillion intercom headset - now there is definitely no escaping the wife!
