I'll agree with that statement. After OBX bike week on the way home on interstate 95 plenty of great looking bikes on trailers and plenty of gezzer glides tearing up the asphalt. My Bro rode his Sporty he has my vote for the Tuff Biker Award.

I personally like the looks of a street glide but I do like the road glide also... just not my cup of tea if you will. I have been told by many dealers when I was tossing the idea of a road or street glide around, that the RG will handle better because your not turning the front fairing. Also granted there is only a 500 dollar difference (in MSRP anyway) the street glide comes with quite a bit of bling for 500 beans more like brake pedal, floorboard inserts, back passenger pegs that all match just to name a few little things. Also if you have a mans *** like me (haha) you can get a cooler looking seat with the streetglide with out having to spend 300 plus on another seat. I just picked up an ultra seat for cheap so i guess my *** isn't so manly, but that only goes on for long rides. also if you wanna pimp your bike out with forwards and no highway bar you can take the SG's highway bar off which you can't do to the RG. Then there is a couple hundred for a lower windscreen for your SG if you wanna swap that out like most people do. Theres lots of little things but IMO it's whatever you prefer for looks.
BTW people who own RG's say that SG'S are everywhere so they wanna be unique and get the RG........... around here RG's are just as popular as the batwing so that don't apply haha.

I really did admire you taking on that project with your bike. I'm not sure that I would have had the same results as you. Fine lookin machine. You worked hard for it, enjoy the confused looks that you'll get cause some will just not get it

My bud has a SG and keeps asking to switch-out when we're riding. So we switch.
I just can't figure out why????????

Man I've owned both and there isn't anything that "glide's" down the road better then a Road Glide. I ride a Street Glide now only because I'm more into the style then a true touring bike. If I was to put any mile's on a bike like I used to, I wouldn't own anything but a Road Glide, but because I don't, I'll keep lookin' good on my Street glide :-)
