Default Thoughts: trading SG for RG

I used to think the RG was ugly as sin but now I can't stop thinking about selling or trading my SG for one. Has anybody make the switch and regretted it?

Made the switch and would never trade back. I had a electra glide limited, a street glide and now a 2015 road glide. I also didn't at first like the shark look, it grew on me. But the ride is something I've never had with the batwings, the bike feels like it's one with me going around the twisties like a sports bike.

I went the other way. They are easy to demo, go see if that's what you like. If you are looking at Rushmore bikes, both are awesome...

I used to think they were ugly too, but now I think they're awesome. These things *eat* miles. Do it. You wont regret it.

Once you get the wind shield and seat you like you will love the RG. I had a 14 ultra classic and wouldn't have a bat wing again.

I just sold my SG and bought a '15 roadglide. I had the SG setup the way I wanted and it was a dream to ride. I too used to hate the look of the road glide, until one day it hit me, and I couldn't stop thinking about buying one. I was obsessed. Making the switch is proving costly! It's getting real expensive finding the right windshield, I'm on to my third one in less than 2 weeks! Not to mention my wheels from my SG won't work on the RG, had to buy new bars, a new powervision tune license and the list goes on, lol. I think once I figure out wind management on the RG, I'll be much happier, I hope

Have you tried the freedom shield? I just ordered one. Not real happy with the KW.

Road Glides aren't ugly - they're Fugly - but that's just my opinion - long live the Street Glide!!
