When I rode the wide glide on the demo run I did find that the front did seem to break away a little, which was a little unnerving. That said, the tires only had 50-60 miles on them, so they were not exactly scrubbed in either. Aren't the WGs running the SE dunlops? I know the rear is, but I did not look at the front. Any way it is a nice ride. I am a little jealous, if they had this particular WG when I bought my 07' SB it would have been a tough call on which to buy. I am not big on the 09' up SB rear fender and tail light, so if I were buying now, hands down I would pick the WG. Don't beat me up, the SB is still a nice bike, just my opinion.

Put a Metzler 90/90 on it and you won't have to worry about traction.
Made a huge difference on mine, even on the tar snakes.
Oh, and I've heard a skinny 21" wheel is supposed to be smoother over potholes than others.
