Thanks gmac...Are those speakers I see in the lower fairing? I am getting ready to order those lower fairings with speakers from kevinevans.org. Great look SG... I love the Big Fatty wheels also.
Will someone who has been on both an SG and Fatboy tell me which one rode better or is it just different. I have an 07 SG but this bike seems to be to bulky. I am thinking of selling it and getting a Fatboy. Yes I am a short guy and I am use to riding a big dog which was much lower to the ground. Help me out if you can.

Well the SG sit's pretty low to the ground so I assume you are pretty short. That's cool so heres the deal; the soft tail frame sit's you more in the bike and the touring bike sit you a bit more on it, even with good scooped out seats, you won't be in the bike like you are on a Soft Tail. I've never heard anyone describe the SG as bulky . Doesn't mean it doesn't feel that way to you though. I had a Fatboy for about 3 years and loved it. I did like the way I sat it in the bike, but I gotta say, after two Street Glides, I would be hard pressed to own another Softtail. They just aren't the kind of riders the touring bikes are. My SG come's alive at 80. My Fatboy kind of worked it's way up to 80 and then started buzzing due to the fixed vs rubber mounted motor. The Fatboy was great for 70MPH and less cruising but nothing beats the road manners of a touring bike. With the SG's low stance via the 12" shocks, it's a flat footer for most, but seemingly not for you. Go test ride a Fatboy or better yet rent one. You may fall in love with it's smooth idle and lowered stance.
