That is a nice combination of bikes I think of doing that myself. But I really don't think I would ride both enough to justify it.

keep the street glide......

From a perspective of functionality, comfort, convenience and value, the Street Glide is the one to keep. I had a Dyna as well and missed it after buying a Street glide...for about a week. JK, both are nice bikes and both would be great to keep but if I could only have one the SG would be it.

Split the difference. Sell them both and get a Road King.

thanks everyone, i ride the street glide more but barely. the street glide has 19,000 miles and the street bob has about 14000 miles on it. i honestly love the street glide more, the street bob was my first motorcycle but ive always wanted a bagger. now heres my problem, the street glide is 100 percent paid off title in hand. which seems like a no brainer. but i still owe more on the street bob then its worth because for some odd reason dynas dont keep their value like the street glides do. so i guess i need to figure out how to get rid of the street bob. i cant keep up on caring for 2 motorcycles much longer. im a 24yr old construction worker soo im doing as much as i can. it really hurts to part with one of my kids though.

I’ve owned both. 07 sb and now 14 sg. I got rid of the sb so I could do a bunch of touring with the ol lady. And the sg allows me to go 500 miles without wishing for death. That being said I wish I had my street bob back. I’m no help. And now I blame you because I’m going to have to have both again

Ditched my Street Bob for my Street Glide. Love every second of that decision, even though I owned the Bob outright and I'm making payments on the Glide.

Well if it was me I would unload the touring bike "just for the time being," because you can't buy an actual Dyna any more. You can sell the Street Glide and pay that on your Street Bob. You are only 24 years old, and you can pick up a new M8 Street Glide after Harley gets ALL of the bugs worked out, when you get the Bob paid off, and your better off financially. Or you could "split the difference, sell them both and get a Road King." Back in 07 I had to choose between a Dyna Super Glide Custom, or a Touring bike, and you can see what I did.
