Can't go wrong with either. JMO but I've always thought the EGS was the best buy HD offers for the money. But then again opinions are like A$$holes...everybody has one

The SG has the black on the motor and the standard is just polished aluminum.

Tough call for sure. Same dilema I faced as well. With all the take off SG stuff floating around, especially seats & windshields, making the EGS to SG conversion is pretty darn cheap. As far as the blacked out engine, I've gotten a lot of compliments and comments about like the more polished/bright look- each their own.

If I were to do it again, I might opt for the EG Classic and install a quick detach kit on the tour pack, but overall, no regrets going EGS vs. SG now that I've added the stuff I have and if you go with a Hawg Wired or similar radio kit, it's far cheaper than the HD version.

if your into making adds the way YOU Want it get the EGS

if you want something sharp out of the box and not have to do much to it to add - just start riding it - get the SG.

Dont forget that the street glide has the nicer bullet turn signals and clean fender. these things are the types of things you will start to notice after you take posession of the electra glide standard.
