Hey guys! I bought my '10 Fat Bob in July and am considering moving up to a Street Glide. Besides the 103" motor what is different on the '11 vs. a '10 leftover? Any pro/cons? Thanks in advance!

 

They went back to 2-1-2 exhaust and "optioned" the motor, security, etc...so pricing is per package deal. Other than that, pretty much same bike & you'll definitely get a better deal w/'10 leftover (I did last year). Good luck!

 

Compensator updated also.

 

I purchased a 10 Street Glide after waiting to see the 2011's. The 103 would have been great but they wouldn't budge on the price. Got a fair deal on the '10 and have really enjoyed the bike. Came from a dyna and I think the SG handles better and the highway travel is great. Put a higher windshield on and Vance Hines slip on single exhaust and I'm very pleased. Not as fast as the dyna but adequate for me even with the wife 2 up.

96" motor is still standard, taxes and insurance are higher on the 11's.

 

Other than what's already been said, I think there is a new tank badge, a new re-designed seat for sure.

I bought a left over '10 and saved a lot of money.

 

I had to chime in on this.I have had both believe it or not.I bought a '10,and recently had to trade it for an '11 due to an unfixable problem with the front end and 3 other "issues".I put 4600 miles on the '10 before trading it.I can tell you the '11 is much better! It is basically the same bike,and I did spring for the 103,but the '11 is smoother, shifts better,and the new seat is great.I am much happier with my '11.Also,if you like duals,it is a pain in the a** to convert a '10.If you have the money get the '11!

 

stock seat blows for two up......seat is great for me solo

Sadly thing is way too quiet as with all the new bikes....the 10 sg is quieter yet

 

interesting..I am up against the same decision- It will save me about 2k for a leftover '10 vs 2011 (both having a 96ci) I like the 2-1 pipe so I will probably end out with the '10

 

Guys, thanks for all the great information. I am going to stop by the dealer when the weather clears up and take both for a spin. I really should have listened to my buddies who told me to go with the 'glide in the first place. Thanks again! - Steve
