Don't get me wrong, had my reasons for looking at SG, focusing on long road trips and not really doing much around town.
I have to admit, my LO out raced the SG and riding 5k miles on a trip was comfortable on the LO (I never, ever, was sore), Twisties were fun, scraped the crap out of the floor boards.
The bigger tank and locking hard bags would be a bonus, but I have outfitted the Lo with all of the comforts (Garmin GPS identical to the HD, Stereo, bags, windshield).

The handling of the Lo was way better than my 07 Street Bob, smaller and lighter than the SG.

My decision is to keep the Lo and possibly add a SG as a second ride in the stable.

From last years trip (Just for you Dan):

The last time I did fork oil (on a Dyna), I did it by measurement from top of fork in millimeters, I found it much easier than trying to make sure I was exact with oz measurements. I have never done the Lo yet.
I don't have access to my manual at the moment.

Sentionaut, you've got a great looking bike, but loose the reflectors and lay that billboard on the back fender down.
