Default Moving from a Street Bob to A Street glide

Hey guys probably pulling the trigger tomorrow on a new 2013 street glide. Wanted to hear from folks that have made the jump from a bob to the glide and what their thoughts are.

I made the switch last year. It was one of my best choices that I have made. No regrets

I went from an 08 Fatbob to a 2013 SG. I have not regretted it. I love everything about the ride (music, comfort, cruise, saddle bags, etc, etc, etc). Simply AWESOME.

Loved my 08 Streetbob but once I rode the 2012 SG I was sold, so I traded the BOB a couple months ago now and yes I miss the raw streetbob but I love the comfort of the batwing, the tunes, cruise control and the ABS seals the deal.
I don't think you will look back!
Much better handling bike and the 103 rocks even with standard pipes.

I traded a Street Bob in on my Road King a couple of months ago. The bagger felt heavy - for about 15 minutes. You will enjoy your new bike.

Welcome to the club. I also came from a Fat Bob to a 2012 Street Glide and can't be happier. You will love it and be wondering why you didn't get one sooner. Enjoy it and you will be surprised how a big bike handles so well

09 Street Bob to a 2011 SG with a 103", very happy. best decision I ever made. Love the power of the 103" and the comfort. My SB was awesome and stripped down, but not practical for all the long trips I take. Congrats on the new bike, you'll love it.

Not a Bob but I have an 07 FXDI and an 06 Street Glide and I much prefer the Street Glide. I really don't ride the Superglide much any more. Now if the Street Glide had a 96 or a 103 there would really be no question.
