Default Opinions on the SGS striping.

The Street Glide Special has all the right stuff on it from the factory and is really the only way to get the upgraded stereo. The problem I have is with the road glide stripes. I could never get used to it on the road glide and now they put it on the Street Glide. Sure wish they wouldn't have done that.

I don't particularly care for them either. The darker colors seem to blend with the stripes more than the lighter ones. So it shouldn't stand out as much IMO.

I have heard you can order it without stripes. One dealer said no and two others said yes you can. Wish I could find out for sure.

The stripes would be the one thing that would DETER me from getting the Special. It has it all with the other equipment, but the whole deal with the SG is NO Stripes! If it was a solid color like the Standard SG, then you could add whatever you want, which is the allure of the solid color bikes. IMHO. When are they gonna add the SG to the Factory Custom program so we can do it the way WE want it? LOL.

Factory and Custom do not go together for me. Makes no sense to be honest.
