Agreed, pretty much all the Harley touring are the same, or very close.

I find the frame mounted fairing on the Road Glide offers more stability because you don't feel the effects of wind gusts on the handle bars as much. A humble oppinion...

THAT'S exactly what a salesman told me today when I was looking.....

he said he wished he had bought the RG instaed of the SG for that very reason.........

The SG faring is mounted on the handlebars...
The RG faring is mounted on the frame, correct??

I don't know why one would be smoother than the other, but I've never ridden both.. I think that's my next project because the dealer said I could go for a 20 or 25 mile cruise across ALLIGATOR ALLEY (I-75)...

so I might take him up on that offer!

I guess you guys are right since they have the same motor/frame/suspension.........

The softails have a vibration but it's minimal...........

I'm thinking about the ROAD KING CLASSIC for my next bike, I like the look.

Thanks for the info!

Discontinued but you can trick out a regular RK to look like one. 😜
