Up until recently , I' would have said Wide Glide all the way ....
But now I WILL say , Street Bob . My tastes have changed , and I think I'd like to have a Street Bob . Wide Glide is a great bike, but I think I'd like to have a bike with less rake , and a 19' front wheel . Just to have better handling . Any way , can't go wrong, happy shopping !

 

I think you will have to change your name on the forum if you buy a new bike!

That being said, I think you have made up your mind at this point. Street Bob is the winner!

 

Hey, I say Bob because I own one, but ride them both before you buy. How comfortable you feel sitting on it is not neccessarily how you will feel on the road. I contemplated the same 2 bikes in September...Now if you are looking @ 2010's here's my thoughts when shopping. I preferred the drag bars & the side mount plate on the Wide Glide. I preferred the short fender & the extra brake light on the Bob (safety reasons-not looks). I ride solo & always will, if someone needs a ride they can get their own bike. So I liked the solo seat on the bob compaired to the sissy bar & 2-up seat. But after I took them both for a spin...it was Bobber all the way!

 

Thats why I have a Street Bob

 

I just bought the Wide Glide after owning the Street Bob, either bike is great, but if you can go the extra money get the Wide Glide! With the changes to the bike for 2010, its proving to be a "controversial" bike!

 

I would go Wideglide ..but then I'm biased. lol..

 

Out of those two, WideGlide, but if I was shopping, I'd buy a FatBob for sure.

 

Da, Wide Glide!

 

Tho the WG may turn a little less sharp, it may be a little better stable at interstate speed, these differences are probably very slight. Go with the one that feels the best when you sit on it, and looks the best to you, good luck

 

Seems to me the Wide Glide has always been the 'finished package' of the Dyna line-up of models .... Sure you can do a few minor things to the WG like different wheels, pipes, seat, etc. ....

But, you don't have to change pegs/foot controls to 'forwards' since it already has 'em ... you don't see any threads about changing out the front wheel to a 21" since it already has it ... same with the wide front forks ... etc. ....

But, that makes the Street Bob much more susceptible to customizing it like no other ....
