The road glide has the frame mounted shark nose fairing and the street glide has the fork mounted bat wing fairing for one...

The Road Glide is for those who appreciate a great handling bike, and want to be able to find their bike in a sea of look alike clones. The Street Glide is for those who cave in to peer pressure and follow the rest of the sheep! There......that should stir some shiite up!

Ok SG guys don't get you panties in a bunch....I wouldn't want to have to face the Street Glide Clone Army (SGCA) as we RG riders are WAAAAY out numbered (100s of "Sheep" to each "wolf")...
It's all in good fun. The SG is a nice bike!

Street Glide- the ultimate in style and comfort

Road Glide- the bastard child of an Electra Glide and an 81 Goldwing

Cool Road Glide/Street Glide

That's easy,

The Road Glide is a well designed (by Willie G.) Touring Machine that has been refined several times over the years to the finely tuned piece of art that it is today.

The Street Glide (Sheep Glide) is a Road Glide with a sail mounted to the handlebars.

O.K., so I'm a naughty wolf. Just giving the sheep some $hit.

Cheers, Ken
