Default Wide glide vs super glide

I'm in the market and am looking to get a dyna. I've got it down to either the wide glide or the super glide. Both are amazing machines but I'm wondering if I could get a little but of opinion from people here. So what say you?

I like all the Dyna models. The new WG is 103" and the SG is 96".

I'm kinda thinking that a super glide owner will say to get a super glide, and a wide glide owner will say get a wide glide. That being said, I would recommend a wide glide

I would pick the Wide Glide with 103 but the Super Glide is a nice bike but doesn't have a 103 and doesn't have fwd controls to start with either. You can't go wrong with either one. Dyna's rock!!

IMO - If you are in to canyon carving or riding at highway speed in the curves get the Super Glide, the narrower triple tree's and wider front wheel setup is more forgiving in the corners. If you look at the superglide and plan to travel, may be worth a look at the Switchback which has the 103, narrow front and removable bags and windshield.

Agreed! But if you still want a vote...WG with the 103".

I have a Ultra and love the look of the WG and the rake of the fork and the bob rear fender on the newer models.
