My 07 rides fine for me, did adjust shocks to 15lbs. That is where I like it. Took me about a week to get to really like the bike coming from a Softail with forward controls. After that week.....its been nothing but miles of smiles. Been cross country on both and would take the Glide over the softail any day.

Go for a test drive or rent one.

 

Now that's just funny...

 

Yet another good idea. FWIW to all those who want to change their own fork oil, you don't need to go through the rigmarole dictated in the service manual. Here's my write-up on how to do it in less than an hour and without disassembling the forks.

 

i got my 2008 s.g in aug of 2007 and i have 21,000 miles rides like a dream

 

I weigh 245 and my wife is 160 and no complaints on the 09 SG. Dont know what the shocks are set at. Only have 500 miles but have been on some bumpy roads. I bought the pump a couple days ago and plan to check the shock pressure. One thing I know for sure is this. I hit a pothole that my Dyna would have sent me flying over the bars. The SG took it and I did come an inch off the seat but the bike stayed straight and true.

 

Rides like a champ..........2600 miles since jan 1, getting better now that shes breaking in.

DO IT.

 

went from a sporty to a sg so well yeah it rides great!
haven't touched the air pressure but obviously i'm going to have to experiment with that.

 

Love the ride of my 08 sg!

 

i am thinking of trading up from my sporty to leftover 08 only issue i have is i have to lowerit any problems with doing this also looking into pheonix custom shocks anyone lower theirs or have any experience with this

 

Best ride I've had yet on a Harley. Comming off a softail I think you'll like it.
