New subscriber! I just picked up a 2019 Street Glide yesterday. Man I couldn’t sleep last night! 😎🤙🏽💯
Just wanted to say I really like how you edited this video so your conversation continues between riding and standing by that mural. Good job.
Ahh you noticed that huh? I decided to start having more fun with my editing. I'm glad you liked it.
I liked that too!
I noticed that too, really good job and he's always so positive...I like that.
I liked that too!
Preach my friend, I've done 100 mpr passing "semis" with one hand AND never have EVER had a "shimmy" or "wobble" on the freeway. WAY over played. And yes u can make a street glide into a "performance" bagger!
And you’re running stock Harley Dunlap tires too. Try that on the Michelin Commander’s.
I went from a 2019 Road King to a 2020 Road Glide Limited, I love it. Such a great ride on the highway, plenty of power and my wife is very comfy.
When I first started looking at HD motorcycles, I was looking at the Street Glide and Road Glide. Both looked amazing but something about the look of the Road Glide kept my attention a bit more. Especially with the dual headlight. I test drove both and, like you said Tall, the way the Road Glide fairing looked from the rider's view did not sit right with me. I have a 2019 Street Glide now and I love it. Im keeping a buddies 2018 Road Glide for a bit so I get to take it out every once. I do not regret my Street Glide. I also have all my lights by Custom Dynamics. They make very good products.
How tall are you?
I'm somewhat biased because as you know I'm a 2019 RG Special owner and I just merely prefer the concept of the steering of the ROADGLIDE which seems to provide more space and freedom especially for the taller & bigger riders. I like that in my opinion it provides more wind protection, the standard 114 is a bonus and for this being my 6th bike but very first HD, I feel great, but let's remember ultimately, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RIDE!!!
Can’t believe people ask this. It is personal preference. I’ve owned both over last 13 years over 90,000 miles collectively. It is simple: each & every rider needs to decide on their own what THEY prefer and then pull the trigger. Now for the more fortunate, maybe they have each model!
M-Rod,
You said exactly what I was thinking. I have a ton of miles in bat wing and shark nose bikes, currently own a 2017 RG Spl with a 114 Stage IV kit and love the way this bike looks and rides.
Laying down 23k to 45k is a big decision. I would ask anyone that has ridden one or owned one to get their opinion. Trying to find someone who is non-bias would be the hard part. At the end of the day its ultimately your decision. Thanks for the comment.
Totally agree. An 8.5 klock works windscreen will blow your mind. Just bought my 4th shield and went trough the Canadian Rockies. What a difference. Got mine in 09 ,still lovin it.
I went from an Ultra Limited to a Road Glide Limited and wouldn’t go back. I love the extra room I get between me and the fairing. The inner fairing definitely grew on me. I also like how the fixed fairing feels lighter in the front end on slow maneuvers. Keep up the great videos! Heading to the Smokies Saturday so I’ll be up that way. Be safe!
When I owned my 2020 SG, I experienced wind buffeting to the point where I would get blurred vision and headaches after a short ride. There is some resistance and vibration felt through the handlebars from the bat fairing that I didn't like. Also, here in the California bay area, winds get pretty high... 20mph on average. I tried multiple helmets which also didn't cure the buffeting issue. My HD dealership accepted the bike back with 300 miles on it and sold me a 2020 Road Glide. The RG should've been my 1st choice from the start. I ride year round and 25+mph winds are not an issue. The wind buffeting is gone and, the wind protection from that massive front fairing is second to none.
It isn't Street Glide vs Road Glide. It is Street Glide vs Chieftain! Respect Tall!
Another great video from you. Many thanks
I was definitely going to buy a Harley in 2000. I loved the lines of the wide glide.
A friend said, "If you plan to ride a lot, get a Road King". (roadglide and street glide did exist back then).
I bought the wide glide and soon learned for long distance running I should have bought the road king. LOL.
But I'm a stubborn, dedicated man. When I commit to something, I stick with it.
I was determined to see that Harley turn over 100,000 miles so I kept it. I gradually began adding things that would have come with a road king because on a 8-12 hour trip, a guy needs a bit of comfort or you get so worn out, you don't enjoy the ride. Big saddlebags, big windshield, extra footpegs, Foot and hand grips with thick rubber padding from Kuryakn. A 12volt outlet so I can plug in my phone or electric suit if it gets nasty cold. I soon learned 50 degrees with rain will suck the life out of you.
Some folks say I cluttered the bike and ruined the lines. Well, I guarantee they won't last 8 hours on a run with me. The bike has 88,520 miles now so I'm sure in two years, she will turn the 100,000 mark. I use Amsoil and change every 5,000 miles. I'm hoping she will go the distance without any major repairs. I plan to do a compression check on Sunday to see how things are inside. That would be a serious brag, 100,000 miles without a top end rebuild.
I'll be prepping her for winter storage. Southern WI is not biker friendly once November rolls around. I put it on a bike lift, roll it into a corner of the garage, hook up the battery tender and cover her up for the winter hibernation. April cannot come soon enough.
This summer I swapped both tires for the new American elites and I am IMPRESSED with those. Excellent handling, love the way they lean in so smooth for curves and for tight turns in town. Really good traction.
I passed out from how beautiful that headlight is when you turned her on
i share your opinion. the way the gauges look and/or are setup in the RoadGlide was deciding factor for me. the important gauges seemed too far away for me to see comfortably. i really appreciate how all the Batwing gauges are eye level and i can read with just a glance.
Agree about the blowing minor differences all out of proportion. After all, we're talking about nearly 900 lbs of bike either way. Not much is going to move them, and not very much if/when it does. I've ridden both and I prefer the Road Glide. I like the looks of both. However, I'm only 5' 9". On the Street Glide the fairing and dash seemed to be right in my face - almost felt claustrophobic - on a motorcycle! I liked that the Road Glide fairing seemed lower and further away. Can't go wrong either way!
Street Glide vs Road Glide? There is no one answer. I went from a 2004 Road King Custom to a 2016 Road Glide Special after an accident totaled my beloved Road King. No regrets with the decision but I did hem and haw for a while on Street Glide vs Road Glide. Each person should try both and make their own decision as both are the ultimate in touring greatness! Keep up the great content!
That’s why I bought a Challenger. Off the floor, engine, suspension, ready to go! Took it to SD and it ran perfectly. Rode 1040 miles straight home with zero discomfort.
Great videos Tall. My last bike was an Ultra Classic Electraglide and my current bike is a Road Glide Ultra. I agree that although you may “feel” a little more wind buffeting the batwing fairing on the highway, it doesn’t really make a difference. Same in the twisties. I rode my friends street glide yesterday and noticed 2 of the biggest functional differences in my opinion. The speedo and tach placement on the batwing allow faster checks. This was apparent to me riding through congested towns with constantly changing speed limits. The other is reach to the radio. I’m 5’9” with kinda short arms and I really have to lean if I want to touch the radio on my road glide. The batwing is much easier to each.
It really comes down to what makes you happy!! I absolutely love my 2017 RGS! I picked the Road Glide over the street glide because I am 6'6" and the street glide made me feel cramped. The Road Glide fairing is back further and gives the impression that you have a lot more room. I love how my Road Glide cuts through the wind. I have heard that at highway speeds the batwing fairing puts more pressure on your hands and arms because the wind is putting all that pressure against you(Do not know how true this is-It is just something some riders have mentioned) where this never happens with the Shark fairing. I am very happy with my Road Glide and you are very happy with your street glide! It's ALL good! Ride smart & ride safe brother!
You buy a bike to please your self not others. Its not what you ride, its that you ride that matters.
Thats right
Agreed, I like having my control right there. I love my SG!
Me too. Thanks for watching.
You had me at "I can't keep tires on this thing" & " there's room for another one in the garage"! 😂❤️✝️🇺🇸
GOD Bless You
Tall, the road glide is much better for what you do. I had a 15 SG AND blown all over the highway. A guy told me years ago to get the RG. I opted for the SG, 2 years later after almost be blown into a car on Tuesday, I got a 17 RG that following Saturday. Very expensive lesson. I know HD will be more than happy to give you one for a week or so. You have built a fan base built o honesty. Good luck !
My Electra glide has 0 problems when passing trucks. 100% agree with you.
The street glide is like the Road Glide's little brother. It's OK but I would never, ever, buy, let alone ride my second, choice. The RGS can do it all AND it looks good doing it. No regrets over here. It sounds, to me, like you want one. GET ONE I say! :-)
I had a '15 RG and now have a '20 SG. I like the SG better, to me it has a bit lower balance point and a sportier feel to the handling. (each to their own) Also I like the looks of the SG a bit better.
I actually bought a street glide special on the sole grounds that I hate the way the road glide front fairing looks. I think it looks hideous. I'm a little jealous at the low speed handling of the road glide, but I still think the street glide is better.
I have a 2019 streetglide standard. I agree with you about the inner fairings. I have 51,000 miles on it no issues with the bike. Also have air ride and total led lights on it.. I do have a fan behind d my oil cooler and lo e jugs on the bike.. runs super cool.. end it as I live in mesa arizona. And ride all year long .Never an issue with the wind or big trucks. Been all over the US and no problems with the bikes handling. Would buy a new streetglide again. Great video.
Road Glide looks Cooler. The big problem is riders like him riding with short sleeve shirts and sneakers. This culture with Harley riders must change.
Keeps the ER busy and thins the herd.
I completely agree with you on that inner fairing thing man. I got a 2020 SGS and the inner fairing was the better of the two. I also really like the bars being closer to the fairing vs the road glide it makes the street glide look cleaner imo. Road glide looks amazing from every other angle too especially on air and a center stand but he rider view is important
Two things folks seem to overlook in differences between RG and SG are 1) the distance difference from rider to fairing can affect the rider pocket of air. Windshields can change the area of the pocket, but the distance is a factor in handling feel and makes me feel like the fairing is right in my face fairing distance also may factor into weather/wind protection IMO. 2) I think the wind hitting the fairing of a SG gives more feedback in curves ( like a sports car)while the RG turn in is lighter ( like a luxury car) by comparison.Bonus: the cubbies in the RG are 1M times better than those mail slots in the SG fairing!
They both are great motorcycle but I just think the Roadglide is a better highway motorcycle and better for taller people
I'm over 6ft and when sitting on a SG it Feels smaller and to close a Fairing period. By design I think the RG is a better choice .
@@lonmidwest5363 it is! roadglide better touring bike
I was torn at time of purchase really! Love em both evenly, the dual headlight look "for lighting and safety", and freeway handling was the decider really. I have the '18 RGS and love the fact that you can open and close th 3 vents, 1 on top and two side vents by the headlights. I rented them both several times before deciding. I also felt like I was in the RG vs being on the Street glide, seemed to the big difference only because of the way the fairing is situated. Both great bikes!! Great video as always!!
I'm '6 6" and have know issue with being comfortable on my ultra limited the RG SG debate is played out ride what looks best and you feel most comfortable on!
I agree 100% about the rider perspective look. I love the Road Glide from the front (especially with the Mean Mug!) but I do not like the way it looks from the rider perspective. I love the way the Street Glide looks from the front (although I do like the front of the Road Glide better), but mostly the dash that I can see the whole time I'm riding. Utimately it still just comes down to personal preference. Appreciate the video.
Had a 2018 Street Glide now I have a 2020 Road Glide I like the new one better,but I 💯 percent agree with this guy .Buy what you like .
Very methodical "A" vs "B" and all the pros and cons!
I have a 2014 Fat Bob and may one day upgrade...But I noticed that you did an Indian Challenger review too.
My first HD was back in 1979 when I bought my (then) dream bike which was a 1974 HD Super Glide FXE, kick starter and electric!
I actually wanted a 1976 bicentennial ltd edition or even a 1977 Super Glide FX since I was in the Navy then and my buddy had one and bought it through the Navy Exchange.
Either way, I was happy with my Super Glide. My friend back in 1975 had a 1975 Super Glide which was when I first fell in love Harley Davidson!
My friends all had dirt bikes and nobody I knew had HD's back then.
All I ever wanted since 1975 an HD Super Glide, that's it!
So let's see if I go Indian or HD the next go around.
OMG I agree!! Even if it was a Rating of 5 to 10 on the wind issue of the two, The Inner Fairing Look is 20 to 5 ! Looks higher quality, more complete and together..
Everyone likes what they like..it should be no Issue Just Choice..
Ride Safe
Amen brother, I have a 2019 Ultra Limited, another benefit is the fairing speakers of the batwing over the shark nose. The angle of the front speakers are better for sound at Hwy speeds.
I prefer the looks of the outer fairing on the RoadGlide, the ride of the RG and the storage of the fairing pockets. Just a lot better than my 2015 Limited, to be honest. I had a 2001 RG and I miss it.
I like extra room and storage of the frame mounted fairing. Love my Road Glide!
I ride a 16 street glide everyday here in Kansas and have no problems with shaking or any other kind of handling issues. Great video Tall, Keep them coming.
Yo that it's the slickest editing I've seen in a while. I'm not familiar with either but definitely prefer the bat wing to the shark nose. Love everything you've done to your bike and can't wait to see the new one! Ride safe!
I agree about the Road Glide dash. I just don't like the look. Like you, I love the look of my SGS from the saddle.
Great video , “there’s always room for another bike” . Picked up ‘20 RGS in billiard, my first Harley and glad with my choice. Much respect to all riders regardless what they ride, still on two’s .
Good video. Go down sit on each bike or ride each bike. Pick the one that fits you the best and the one you like the best. Figure in what mods you want and which one will fit your mods the best. Then buy the one that YOU like. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks, because at the end of the day you are the one paying for it and you are the one riding it. If someone else tells you that you bought the wrong bike just tell them that they can complain when they pay for your bike.
I have a 2020 Street Glide and I hated it first because I was not flat foot I’m 5’2”. But it was a cool looking bike. Therefore, I had it lowered now I love it!!!
To me the best difference between the fork mounted fairing and the frame mounted fairing is the better low speed maneuverability of the frame mounted fairing. I also have a hard time getting comfortable on a batwing bike. I feel like I'm sitting on the bike whereas on a RG I feel like I'm sitting in the bike. The downside of the RG to me, if retaining the stock HD sound system, is that, with a helmet on at least, I can't hear the music at freeway speeds. I think this has a lot to do with the speaker location. On a batwing bike the speakers are that much closer to you and are closer together.
I vastly prefer the Road Glide. Feels less claustrophobic, handles wind better, feels lighter in the curves, has better lighting stock, and the vents are better too. In my opinion of course!
I have a RGS and a SG standard...there’s really nothing to compare because both are unique and GREAT bikes!! I’ve been blessed with both and wouldn’t wanna get rid of either...so my vote is to have BOTH Traveling Tall!! Keep making great vids brother!! 💪🏽🙏🏽💙
hey Tall, i appreciate your review and i fill you hit the topic like a hammer hitting a nail. i have a road king and i new that i wanted to get another bike so i was looking at the road glide and the STREET GLIDE. After researching i went with the STREET GLIDE. Their both beautiful bikes and i there is a slight weight difference when turning the handle bars but that only reminds me to respect the ability and weight of my bike. Keep doing what your doing and ride safe....
The downforce of the wind on the batwing fairing keeps that bike solid to the ground when travelling highway speed, and this is solidly felt in the handlebars. I can keep a much better line on a Street Glide at 80MPH than a Road Glide. The Road Glide is a bit too nimble IMO, and nimble is not what I need on the highway. I ride my friends RG every now and then to compare. I just rode 5K across the country in high wind, rain, 18 wheeler heaven, and the SG is a solid performer. I own several Harley's, I'm speaking from real experience on these bikes.
I think the Road Glide handles better with the fixed fairing. Not a big difference, but it was there IMO. Street Glide is nice as the headlight moves where you're turning. Nice video.
Both are great bikes. I currently have a 2017 SGS with HD 128 Big Bore Stage Kit with Legend suspension all around and going to keep it. My next bike will be a Honda CB500X for adventure, country, dirt road riding then I will probably get a new Road Glide Limited with a Stage 2 torque cam. Warranty and extended service plan is important to me so I will run all manufacture's parts. I personally like the Road Glide for long highway, interstate travel. Now you can always get a new Street or Road Glide standard, put the HD 128 kit plus using HD Pro and Smart tuners on it and be covered for the 2 year warranty and then the extended service plan years out all the way up to 12 (take out first five years, then renew before it run out for another five). Anything goes wrong that's not owners fault, $50 deductible and it gets fixed. BTW: Harley 128/131 Big Bore kits running very close dyno numbers to not tell a difference.
i have a 2003 classic,bat wing, and also a 2016 RGS. i love both bikes, the only difference I've found is that my Roadglide is a bit lighter on the handle bars in slow moving maneuvers
Traveling Tall,
Always like your videos and never have disliked anything !
Man, forgive me. I thought I subscribed a while ago. I started following you when I started my vlog in December and bought my 2020 Electra Glide. I enjoy the heck out of what you post. Thank you.
I don't like the Road Glide front fairing. Your bike is AWESOME. Good choice.
I rode a Street Glide Special for 10 years and made the move to a Road Glide special in 2017. Night and day difference for me.
Everyone has different taste and likes. I like the additional storage on the Road Glide and feel like I get a little better protection from the frame mounted fairing. Both are great bikes , the question is which one moves the needle for You, Yall ride safe and have a blessed day
Enjoy your videos Tall. Currently ride a Victory Cross Country Tour and a Honda Goldwing DCT. I have room in the barn for a HD RD or SG but not the time to ride another touring bike. Life is hard! 😎👍🏻
Such a great video. Your editing is so on point. Both are great bikes. I was told since I'm 6'4" that a Road Glide would fit me better. But I just bought a 2021 Street Glide Special FLHXS 2 weeks ago. Just picked it up a few days ago and I love it. Fits great.
No man you did the right thing. Those two big headlights suck. Your bike is sweet.
Awesome video. This was helpful and yesterday picked up my 2021 Street Glide. I rented road glide and street glide multiple times and the deciding factor for me was the layout off the controls on the street glide! Thanks you for making these videos.
I have had both currently on an 18 RGS. I agree with most of your statements but the RG handles better and is better in hot weather but the batwing is better in the rain and cold weather. The road glide is better in a headwind but sidewind is the same. It comes down to personal preference. Both are great bikes but with that said, I will have a rg from here on out it just grows on you lol
It grew on me...when I first saw it, I thought it was so ugly then I went to the dealership....and fell in love
Glad to see you back on that beautiful Harley. I also test rode a Road Glide because I liked the look. That one ride pushed me right over to an Ultra Classic. Been a great bike. Stay safe and keep laying down the miles.
I bought a used 2016 two months ago, liked the dash setup, not much difference elsewhere, fits good , saddleman extended reach seat, Klockworks shield and highway pegs so far. 6' 3" Tall winter hit need to ride to figure customizations. Stock power is good for now
I've got a 2014 Firefighter Shrine Street glide . Black it looks like yours. I'm 5 /7 and I like the feel of the weight on the bars with the Bat Wing fairing . I personally feel.more in control and can see what's up front better . The Bat Wing is.also.iconic. Now I understand the Road Glide is favored by clubs mainly because.of ease of turning the bars in high winds ( less fatiguing) on long rides . Also there is more room on Road Glides for people 6ft and over. The Road Glide fairing is more like a car dashboard for me it's too far away. It's horses for courses but I would suggest for a tall person to go for the Road Glide because they won't feel as cramped as they possibly would do on the street glide.
Only difference I can tell is Road Glide handles better. Most people I hear say is they don't like the look of the fairing. I've had 2 Street Glide Special 2015 models. I loved em! I wanted to try the Road Glide so that's what I have now. And I love it as well! It's a personal choice for me. Just Glide! U ain't Ridin if U ain't Gliden
Love your videos. I haven’t been on either one. In fact the only bike I have been on is an 08 Road King so I can’t relate to the whole fairing thing. I am a late bloomer, bought the RK last year at the age of 61 right after taking the MSF class. Love it so far. Big heavy bike for a 5’7’ 175lb old man but I am handling it just fine now. Still feel like I need to be able to see whats right in front of me so windscreen is perfect. Maybe one day I will have a SG since I do like the looks better than a RG. Meanwhile I’ll keep watching guys like you on youtube where I have learned so much in just a year.
Thats great, my Dad is 75 and still rolling on twos! Thanks for watching.
Don't kid yourself my RGS will shake a little under the right circumstance as well. I chose the RG because I have long legs and there is more leg room on the RG over the SG. The RGS is my long distance touring bike so comfort at all levels was the thinking process. Some SG owners say they don't want the touch screen so far out there and that it's way too hard to reach, well I don't ever touch the screen and have learned to use the joy sticks on the handle bars to control everything that you could touch you can do with the joy sticks so that is a moot point. I say just ride what you like and don't fret about what anybody thinks. I have had a few riders say to me that the fairing is way ugly, I just say back to them "well I didn't buy it for you." I've seen plenty of riders on old clapped out machines that smoke, leak, and are covered in grime with a smile from ear to ear. We all have a reason for riding what we ride and it sure would be a boring world if we all rode the same bike. I also have a Road king and a Softail Heritage and between the three bikes the Road king is hands down the most fun bike to ride in my stable.
Hey Tall that shy smile you have at 14:48 tells me there's something else in the works and something is already cooking in the background look forward to seeing what you do......stay safe brother & Ride hard or stay home😎
Really enjoy your vids Tall. Loved my Street Glide but I dig the Road Glide too.
Great Video. Thank You. Currently deciding between Road Glide and Street Glide. This is helpful.
I went from a 2014 Street Glide to a 2020 Road Glide. My first 3K miles I was full of regret. After 8,500 miles, I absolutely love my Road Glide!
Thank you for the honest review. So many reviews I see on the two bikes are usually biased towards one or the other.
I like your review as I did one back in 2018, I too was trying to decide on which bike to buy as I was trading in my 17 RK. I’m glad you said it’s what you prefer as the wind thing really had nothing to do on how you feel when you sit on one and ride it. Each person has a different feel so for folks that are 6 foot or taller, they tend to want the RG over the SG. I personally like the fact I can see over my RG faring as I am 6-1 and put a Mustang super touring seat to move me back two inches and it’s perfect for me. So good job!!!
Thanks for making this video Tall! I know it's a year old but it has really made my decision on what bike I will be buying. I was in between the road glide and the street glide just because of hearing about the handling but your video has helped in that decision. Thanks again!
I've owned both RG and SG. I currently have a SG Ultra CVO (I love my trunk space) HOWEVER the Road Glide is the best Glide. I've ridden cross country on both, there was a difference in my fatigue from wind vibrations on the batwing that I didn't experience on a RG. At the end of it, be safe and enjoy the ride.
There is a minimal difference in my opinion. But millions of motorcycles from other brands have had fixed fairings over the years. It really doesn't matter to me what others like/ride. Ride what you like👍🏾. #THATISALL
I agree. Thanks for watching
Glad your back talking Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I’m a road glide fan. I’m surprised that you don’t ride a Road Glide because your tall no pun intended. Most H-D salespeople say if your tall go Road Glide. All your Indian videos I could care less. Feels good watching your videos again. Thumbs up Tall 👍🍺🇺🇸
I came off of a Ultra Limited. Then I have bought a 18 Road Glide. I used to get head buffeting on my batwing. But my Road Glide, I actually get none of that. I see you have no problem with that. That's why I turned to the "dark side" haha. Plus, I think it's a much better ride. Ride safe man!!
Thanks dude. Great informative video. I did subscribe. Yes, my garage also has room for another bike. There’s only three in there! Ride safe.
Glad you like you Street Glide. I know I love my Road Glide Ultra. Buy the bike for yourself, not other people.
I have owned 3 street glides. I now own a '19 RGS. The biggest difference is high winds. The RG does handle much better in higher winds and get more mileage. It does provide more light at night due to the dual headlights. Outside of the fairing difference there is nothing different between the bikes.
Nothing wrong with having both!!!! Enjoyed the video and good objective viewpoint leading into personal preference. Take Care and Be Safe!!!
Having just purchased a Road Glide, and still having my Electra Glide, I can confirm that not having the fairing weight makes a big difference when it comes to cornering. I never felt like I fought the bat wing fairing in the past until I started riding a Road Glide. All in all, both are very good looking machines. Thanks for the videos...keep em coming!
HD should pay you a bonus based on the number of times you said
"Road Glide" or "Street Glide" 👍
Love how Jordan 1s feel on my feet.. Also love street an the electra glides over the road gluide. Cant beat the bat wings in my book..to each his own
If you get the Custom Auxiliary Lighting Kit then you'll have 3 lights up front! That's one extra than the Road Glide! I don't like the open spaces in the middle of the Road Glide fairing. You can see all the way down the forks.
Again I say - take a picture of yourself on your bike and send your seat in for a custom-sized Russell Day Long seat. I'm 6'6" and have used them for years on all my bikes. Do it! JUST DO IT!
I was just on the autobahn here in Germany today hauling the mail with my ultra batwing... it was windy and trucks were there also. NO ISSUES
Personally speaking, I like the “roominess” feeling of the road glide vs the street glide. The challenger seems claustrophobic to me as well, so much going on right there.
Detailed & Accents you have added are done in good taste.... Ride Safe.........
I test road both and ended up with the Road Glide because of the gauge cluster. Street glide just seem like the gauge cluster was right up on me and had to tilt my head down to see the top part.
I went with the road glide. I had a street glide and an ultra. Never noticed any “head shake” with either of those motorcycles. The one thing that I do notice is the road glide handles better at slow speeds. Like in a parking lot. The front end feels light. I got the 2019 special. Doing it again, I would just go with the standard one. The 114 and blacked out hardware isn’t worth the premium. I would take that extra money and put it into performance modifications.
the way you have customized the street glide is 11/10. Wouldnt want to see this go. Back to the video :)
Thank you, thanks for watching
jhashmi2011
I just had my new 2020 RGS w/ 131 delivered yesterday,,,LOVE IT!!!!,,,,you do a good job on your videos!
I hear you man no regrets either, I have 2010 street glide with 98 cc I have done some upgrade to the bike to make it mine own. One day I will do a stage 1 change the air intake and slip-on and maybe put small ape hangers and some more custom dynamic lights so I could be seen. Keep what you are doing and hopefully we meet up on the road. Stay safe brother!
