SG / RG...same base

RG...shark nose fairing / dual headlights / cruise control stock / silver face gauges / passenger footboards/ handlebar mounted mirrors

SG...batwing fairing/ single headlight /fairing mounted mirrors / lowered 1 inch in the rear / passenger footpegs instead of the boards

wheels are different, trim pieces are different including the footbords inserts, brake pad and pegs

I feel like there is more room up front when it comes to leg room and arm reach...this could just be the difference in the fairing

I'm sure there is a couple otherdifferences butthese aresome of the major ones

I had a electra and now own a RoadGlide...I could not be happier

I went with the Roadie, cause Sunday breakfast can't be closer than 100 miles. That's the rules! And once we're out wherever, we're in no hurry to get back to the congestion.If most of my riding was more local, or mainly poker runs, the Streetie would be it. But that ain't what I need. You always gotta ask yourself, how am I gonna use it?

 

Insurance check coming soon, I'm looking at the RG instead of the Ultra I had. A freind of mine let me ride his RG, handles great.
Rent one or borrow one you'll be sold on a RG!!

 

lightngsvt....I guess you still haven't made the move yet?

 

We had the same debate in the Fester household. Mrs Fester likes the RG fairing better than a batwing, and she likes the wrap-around King-Pak backrest (which, totally just my opinion, don't look quite right on a Streetie). But, I'm going with the SG because: 1. I'm stumpy of leg, and I'm the one who has to park the damn thing, so a slammed bagger is better for me, 2. I'm mostly going to be riding locally, including commuting to work, and 3. Mrs Fester has her own bike anyway - she's not going to be on the back that much.

They're both good bikes. Asking which is better is like asking whether Wranglers or Levis are better - it's all about what you like, what suits you best, and what fits your butt. As chiabate said, how are you going to use it?
