Don't let the numbers fool ya. I rented a 2015 road glide last year, and despite weighing 100 lbs more than my old street glide (2006model) it felt lighter and more nimble. That said, I still prefer the batwing.

 

The reason the Road Glide weighs more is.......... they put lots of extra awesomeness in the Road Glide.

That explains everything.Glad I am riding a SGS.

 

one of my favorite things about the road glide was the little gloveboxes in the fairing you could throw a few small items in. that and IMO they look better with apes than street glides/ultras, i know alot of folks will disagree with me on this, but i dont like apes that stick up over the batwing, it just looks goofy, and defeats the purpose of the batwing to put your hands above its 'protection'
