My first big twin was a Super Glide. A 1974 FXE.
Kind of disappointed they dropped that model.
I wish I could have gotten that kind of money for mine. Don't have the Pope's connections, I guess.

 

Actually the published specs show the newer WG with more trail by only 0.1" (5.1 vs 5.2)

Your 99 frame rake has less @ 32° whereas the later have more @ 34° but then they added trail reducing Raked Trees

 

Cool. Thanks, Multi. I knew as the neck angle increases, you need add some tree rake to bring the trail back down, but I didn't think that started to really happen in the low 30s. Apparently it does.

 

Everyone is different. I have a friend that was set on a Wide Glide, until he got on it.. He ended up liking the Fat Bob better.

I'm happy with my FXDB. Great looking bike. I chose it over the low rider back in 15.

 

Get the street bob - you can thank me later.

The Wide Glide is an odd looking chopper wannabe posers bike. It's trying to be something it's not. Those factory flame paint jobs are cheesy. I chuckle when I see one.

 

The Street boob looks like a 3rd party aftermarket conglomeration from a back alley hole in the wall from pimp south Chicago

 

Out of the gate, in my opinion, the lowrider has the best options in stock trim. Dual disc brakes, mags, further forward mids, and one of the more comfy seats. All of that gives you a more comfortable yet aggressive riding scoot. Fwiw i own a street bob, just prefer the features on a LR.

 

lol apparently people don't read my post from the original question. I ride har and do indeed knee drag my current bike and I know I won't on a Harley but I still want it to turn in nice. I'm worried about the adders 150 pounds so the low speed stuff really concerns me cuz I don't want to drop a new bike of course. The added rake on the wide glide would make me have to change my riding style more but will be better on the highway for stabability. I chose these two bikes for a reason, I don't like softails they are heavier and I don't like how beefy they are for my riding style. I don't like the look of the fat boy or low rider. So stop asking lol

 

Fat bobs are awesome, it's like riding a fat chick down the road - that's why I bought one.

 

And I can't rent them I can only rent there used ones and they don't have them all idk why they do that but it's what they do. I want to go to another dealer but then I'm so far away
