So if you wanted to have 2nd bike setup for more around town riding, what would be better? Is the street glide with it being lower and setup a little different easier to throw around?
I really like the ride the fairing gives because in my area on the coast it is very windy. My wife's Dyna with a windshield is no fun on the highways around here commuting to work, so I worry the heritage wouldn't be any better.
Thanks,

I vote Heritage.
The SG is a stripped down ultra right. not much difference in my opinion. if i could choose a second bike of the two it would be the heritage. you can easily ride around town, but still go on a day trip. you have luggage to throw some gear or groceries in. You can add some pipes and take off the windshield and have a cool bike. Also as others have stated why have 2 fairing bikes unless one is a fugly and the other is the ultra. Good luck in your decision. either way im sure you'll be happy.

This get's my vote! I have the UC for trips. My wife just got an 09 Dyna Lowrider. She's taken and passed the MSF course. Now she's practicing for road riding. If I want to play around town, I jump on her Dyna. The 96 motor in that light bike, it's a rocket!

Well, just thinking. Appreciate all the opinions and the consensus is evident. Most would not have 2 full fairing bikes which I can understand.
On my way to work everyday when I ride I go across a 10 mile bridge that always has strong winds on it. Sometimes I take my Fatbob and with a windshield that is still an rough ride. The wind really buffets you pretty bad so not much fun. With the EGC it is much smoother. Just the EGC is a big bike with everything on it for riding in the city once I get there.
