2010 also had an upgrade to the frame that improved handling in addition to the other things posted already.

I think if you buy the Street Glide and keep the sportster you will be torn as to which bike to ride, I know I am. I love the comfort and performance of my Street Glide, but I also love to ride my Street Bob as it is lighter and handles better.

Kind of hard to describe but the Street Glide feels like I sit on it, the Street Bob feels like I sit in it (lower center of gravity).

Good luck with your search, hopefully you can find one to test ride to make sure you like the way the Glide rides.

 

My '11 came with the integrated turn signals. No separate tail light here. I hate the old brick style tail light.

 

I have a 2010 Victory Red Street Glide and I LOVE it. I changes the exhaust on it, I got a 2009 headpipe with rush slip on's. I put a power commander V with autotune and K&N air intake. I also put some odds and ends a little items on the bike. I have all the power and comfort I need. When My "EX" had her sportster, yeah it was fun to play on but I always ended up liking my bike better.

It sucks i can't ride right now, because it's SNOWING!!!

 

What frame change are you referring to that changed from 09 to 10?

 

There are 2 bits of misinformation so far, frame change was in 09 & the tailights are the same from 10-11. The front wheel went from 17" in 09 to 18" in10.

 

welcome to the forum mc-guyver. hey shore, for the streetglide and for the roadglide they didn't go back to having a real taillight. they still rely on the bullet turn signals to perform that function, and even though it makes for a sleek looking rear fender, i don't care for it. it's removing the main taillight from where it's really needed in my opinion, but each to their own.

 

Either one you get, you're gonna love it. If you're one that leaves your bikes stock, then go for an '09 without the cat. I put new pipes on my '10 right out of the chute. For the few hundred miles that I rode it stock, I thought my right thigh was going to spontaneously combust.

 

Thanks, Guys. I knew there were some minor differences, but I couldn't remember what. It probably doesn't matter a whole lot with the exhaust, since I can't stop myself from making changes to whatever I ride.

 

Not sure why I thought they put the taillight back on the fender. I like the look but man that's not enough brake light back there.
