2012 Harley-Davidson FLHTCU Ultra Classic Electra Glide Review

They call it the “Ultra” for a reason.

Long-haul comfort, convenience and storage capacity wrapped in unmistakable style

The Ultra Classic® Electra Glide® sets the standard for long-haul touring comfort and convenience.

A fourspeaker, 80-watt Harmon/Kardon® Advanced Audio System, one-piece, two-up Electra Glide® Classic comfort stitch seat with passenger backrest, adjustable fairing-mounted air deflectors, vented removable fairing lowers with integral glove boxes, spacious Tour-Pak® carrier and injection-molded hard saddlebags, and standard electronic cruise control, all combine comfort and function as styling touches that make it a Harley-Davidson.
