I miss my 2004 Fat Boy, which I traded in for a 2011 SG. The SG is so smooth but it is top heavy. Thinking of trading in SG for a 2013 FB, 110th Anniversary Limited version. Is it a good idea?

 

Your very first post and you had to drag up a 3 year old thread?

Welcome to the forum?

 

Went from a 07 FatBoy to a 2012 Street Glide. Cruising down the road with a CD playing and the wind blowing up OVER your body, just makes the ride more enjoyable. I didn't like the look of saddlebags on the FB, but now the hard bags on the SG just work, looks wise as well as function. I got a helluva trade-in deal, which made the decision easier. Only downfall is now I'm dumping $$$ into the SG, which I thought I wouldn't do after knowing how much I put into the FB. BTW, I'm 6'5" and with some mods, I made the SG fit me.

 

I also came from a 08 train that I bought new and swore it would be my only Harley. I ended up trading it on my 07 SG and never really looked back.

 

I had a 07 FLSTF, put over $5,000 in to it mainly cams, pipes, and 103 build
Rode it for over 10,000 miles and traded it in on my 2011 RKC.

I really enjoy my RKC, the ride is better, the cruise control is a huge plus for me, and it has the look and feel of what I wanted to ride. And now with the new TW 222 cams, I think all I need is some wo 515 bars.
I would not go back to a softail.

 

Once I got my 2012 SG, my 04 totally tricked out Fat Boy hardly ever got ridden. 2 totally different animals but I'd much rather take my SG out even for short rides.

 

Fatboy looks better SG rides better and has a raido and bags. Both are nice

 

On another note, I am not sure how I survived without the bags on the SG. I only ran a Tbag on trips with the train. Now the bags manage to get filled with all sorts of crap. You will definately like being able to pick up a few items while you are out and about.

 

I just traded my 2001 FatBoy for a 2013 SG. Had 35k on the Fat Boy. Bought it new in 2000.

As far I am concerned their is no comparison beween the two.

SG positives: Way more powerfull engine, 6 speed trans, Batwing with Radio, cruise control, better brakes, better handling in corners, highway. Nice bags with option to get tourpack, lower fairings.
Wife loves rifding on it.

FB positives: Smaller and lighter...Thats it!

 

I would rent both and make up your own mind
