I prefer non-synthetic oil until break-in of 3000 miles, then I switch to synthetic.

Beary

 

Neither compares to a Road King. Just sayin. Giggle tee hee

 

SG has better hand protection from wind. RG handles little bit better. Comes down to different styles. I've had both and prefer the RG.

 

We can all go back and forth for days on this subject as it all comes down to ones preference. In the end they are both amazing bikes.

Exactly what sbeast said..... I got tossed around more on my RG than I ever did on my street glides. I will add when I got caught in rain on my RG I was soaked in minuets. On my sg I stay pretty much dry or at least minimal amount of water on me. I also felt like I was to far away from the fairing on my RG. I am 6ft tall I can only imagine how I would feel if is was shorter. Like I said before they're both awesome machines and this is just my opinion of the bikes I owned.

 

Both are great Harley's, remember "It's Not What You Ride, It's The Fact That You Ride."

 

Pros for a SG:
1) Subjective opinion
2) Subjective opinion
3) Subjective opinion


Pros for RG:
1) Opinion is subjective
2) Opinion is subjective
3) Opinion is subjective


Looks like opinions are running neck and neck for both....

 

Street Glide hands down!

Because everyone has one.

Someone else stirring up the pot for another pissing match.....
Let that f*cking dead horse rest in peace man !!!

 

If I try to put Harley oil in my Roadie it just spits it right back out.

All the opinions have been beat to death in multiple threads, but I did hear a new one the other day. Something I never would have thought about.

This is deer country, and riders hit deer and go down all the time. Sometimes they don't make it. Tragic. The fact that the RG fairing is bolted directly to the frame and not to the front forks means that no matter at what angle you hit the deer, the impact force goes straight back along the frame line, and usually doesn't hit the handlebars. A fellow RG rider hit a deer at 70, cut it in half, coasted over to the side of the road, put down his jiffy stand and got off. He said that just like railroad locomotives have cow catchers on the front, that fixed fairing is a "deer catcher".

Never hit one, can't speak to it personally, just something I heard.

All the touring bikes are great, ride the one that moves you.

 

Maybe your buddy likes ugly women too.
