Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 98th weight percentile in its Harley-Davidson category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Harley-Davidson FLTRU Road Glide Ultra weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Harley-Davidson FLTRU Road Glide Ultra fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 6 US gal (22.7 L) to 6 US gal (22.71 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 37.3 lb (16.9 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Harley-Davidson curb-weight calculation.

A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 1,079.3 lb (489.5 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
What is the estimated Harley-Davidson FLTRU Road Glide Ultra weight with a full tank of gas?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 887.4 lb (402.5 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.

Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Harley-Davidson website.
