I ride an 07 SG and love it, my decision was made on the handleing the lower sg takes corners better and I love to gas my corners. With the ol lady up on the back I just pump up the shocks a bit and everything is fine.
I have the SG and LOVE IT!. \\; But if I had to do it again, which I will one day, I will go with the Ultra Classic with detachable tour pak and have it lowered. \\; You get more bang for your buck IMO. \\; But I love the SG! \\; You can't go wrong there.
