• Well first off, I wouldn't trust anything that Biggs says. In my opinion, its the worst HD dealer I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I just bought an 07 street glide from Orange County HD, and its the bomb.
  
  Besides the stationary fairing is a bitch to get use to on the road glide

• The stationary fairing was no problem for me and this is my first HD. I had a Honda VTX 1800 with a windshield and you would feel when a truck or large vehicle goes by. With the RG you feel NOTHING its sweet! all because of the stationary fairing. The SG and RG are the EXACT same bike from the handle bars back. Its just the fairings that are different. I am in the New England area and RG are cold as Feburary. SG are still the most popular by far. Its about looks not practicality. Kind of like womens shoes.

• This my Third RG, Actually my first was an 89 Tour Glide. Paid $9600 for it, put 276,000 miles on it and sold it for $10K. Bought an 04 RG, sold it 15k miles later for $400 more than I paid for it. Just picked up my 07 RG. Let's see, $1500 cheaper than the SG and I get cruise control......hmmmm

• I have an '05 'Glide and thought I wanted a BMW. I bought a new K1200 GT and sold it after about 2,000 miles. I kept the Harley and will never go back to anything else. I learned the hard way that nothing comes close on a long ride. The Bimmer is a great piece of engineering art, but the most uncomfortable thing I have ever ridden!

• Does anyone have any thoughts on aftermarket pipes or slip ons for the Road Glide? Also, I am looking for more comfortable bars - maybe apes. Any thoughts? (I am 5'11").
  
  Thanks

• I bought my 07 Road Glide 9/06 put 5k miles on so far and I love it...last bike was a 99 FLHRCI...the fixed fairing on the glide is the best thing since canned beer...
  Pipes go with 2 into one Rinehart add the Powercommander and get it dynoed you get 23 more HP and it sounds like the sh*#.

• The Street Glide was an extremely popular bike in Daytona this year for Bike Week. My 07 is sweet and many dealers I have talked to tell me it's a very popular seller.

• Frame mount fairing...love it. My 07 FLTR was made for interstate riding. 96 inches with a six speed the very slippery frame mount fairing coupled with cruise control make for an effortless, relaxing ride.
  The only things I intend to change out are higher end speakers for the Harmon Kardon, Bubs and a Corbin seat.
  I did replace the brake lines with stainless F/R. the only way to go.

• I wanted a street glide to begin with but after testing both I switched to the road glide.sat better for tall riders.felt stabler.I put 4200 miles in 13 days in comfort and speed.effortlessly does 100 mph all day.got 50 mpg.steers effortlessly,handles bumps n road hazards effortlessly.very well thought out boke if u look at it closely.

• I bought my RG in june. I like the bike. 10,000 great miles as of today. The fixed faring in no problem and rides well. The head lights work well being fixed to frame. I put an Ultra seat on it for my wife the stock seat did not sit right for her. In Wisconsin the SG in number 1 for sure. One of the reasons I bought the RG was to be different. So if you see the brite Orange one it might be me.
  My only gripe is the fuel light is hard to see in the sunlight.

• Bought a 2008 FLTR w/ABS, dk bl pearl. Did 800 miles in 1 day the first week, Rapid City,SD to Telluride,CO for the Blues Festival. It's the best highway cruiser I've ever owned, cuts thru that Wyo. wind like it's not there. The 6 gal. tank & cruise are sweet. Will keep the OEM mufflers, they sound OK & don't attract attention of Denver's finest. Handlebars are not back far enough, but am getting a backrest & they may work, I like the feel, just too far forward. Put Progressive 440's & TruTrack on & it is solid, even noticable at slow speeds. I only had the air cleaner & remap for engine upgrades, and will probably stay with that, 40-50 mpg is nice. This is a much, much better road bike than the King or batwings.

• Take a look at Heritage bars for it. they will fit with only a slight strightening of the brake hose all other fit fine.
  It will allow more for flexable seating. Worked on mine.

• I picked up my road glide 1/05 its the best bike I have been on, they handle at speed or going slow they just handle well for a big motorcycle. as far as the street glides looks lower a road glide and put a short windshield on it and it looks sweet Ill stick with the road glide kmvallee

• I have owned many bikes this is my third harley my Road Glide which is parked next to my VTX 1800R is probably the best of the harley's I have owned well thought out...if the the only short comming is the powerplant...if it only had 1800cc it would be unbeatable...mybe next year as a CVO...we could hope

• I just counted and I have owned 12 bikes in almost 40 years of riding. 6 were Harleys and 6 were metrics.
  I just picked up a 2008 Road Glide and I love it.
  There is no best bike for everyone.
  This one just happens to be best for me right now.

• on my 5th bike and only new bike i have ever purchased , droolled over the streetglide for a year and finally got one , , sorry but i hate the square fairing on the roadglide .,reminds me of a goldwing , love the streetglide

• I picked up my '07Road Glide in July. My second Harley (first was an E- Glide), my 20th bike. The problem in the northeast (NW VT)is nobody carried a Road Glide. But North End repair was able to find one for me. It's the absolute best handling bike I have ever ridden. I will change the seat to a Mustang Touring come spring.
  I like it also because it is not flashy, it's NOT ART as the bumper sticker says. It's just a good, solid road bike that can handle any weather condition I've ridden in so far. I might wimp out and get some heated grios for when it's below freezing. I am looking for a Road Glide pin for my vest. Any info?MoonmanVT

• I just picked up a '08 SG. It's awesome! I've already put 5K miles on it and loving the new drive-by-wire throttle. Not a fan of the RG at all, the front fairing is just not visually appealing.

• smittym901a2mitty901a201Winter is here in Wisconsin and as I get ready to park my RG for a couple months i can look back on how much I have enjoyed so far.
  My wife bought it for me on fathers day this year 13,000 miles so far with only on minor defect. The low fuel warning light started coming on at 1/2 tank. I changed the seat to an ultra for her and have a set of Heritage bars for it to help with my bad shoulder. Tour pack and coffee cup holder.
  The bike is great, if I needed more power than the 96 has I would buy that Buel 1125R 146 HP .
  I still like to ride my Fat Boy but find myself taking th RG more and more. The bike handels great at all speeds and is not efected by loading it down for a trip.
  the stock pipes are a bit to quiet but that a sign of the times. I tried a 5 1/2 inch shield on it that was a mistake.
  When it comes to a Harley more than any other bike you buy the one YOU want the one when you sit on it demands you take that one home. If you have not given the RG a look check it out you may like it like I do mine.

• TO ALL THAT SAYS THAT ROAD GLIDES ARE HOT AND STREET GLIDES ARE NOT. YOU ARE PROBABLY GAY. ALSO AT SOME TIME YOU HAVE PROBABLY OWNED A GOLDWING OR A BMW SOMETIME IN YOUR LIFE OR AT SOME TIME WILL OWN ONE. I'M NOT KNOCKIN ALL FLTR RIDERS, I AM A TECH AT A HARLEY DEALERSHIP, ROAD GLIDES DO RIDE GOOD. BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE LOOKIN LIKE A HOMO ON A ROAD GLIDE OR LOOKIN COOL ON STREET GLIDE, YOU CAN BET I'LL BE CHOOSIN THE STREET GLIDE, THERE THE COOLEST LOOKIN TOURING BIKE HARLEY HAS EVER HAD. FLTR RIDERS ARE BITCHES AND FLHX RIDERS PICK UP THE BITCHES!

• What are you 15? I must be gay because I bought a Road Glide? Give me a break. My '07 RG is my first Harley and I love the thing. It was the only Harley I sat on that fit my 6ft+ frame. I test rode the Electra Standard, Street Glide, Heritage ST, but felt crampt. Rode out to the Black Hills this summer and it was a dream on the highway as well as the canyons. Everyone is different, but for me, this bike is perfect.

• Ride a glide 100 miles per hr. plus across the desert for hours and hours,then compare it to anything else with a none frame mounted fairing. That why people buy them. I put 30,000 miles on my glide last year my road king sat in the garage with its bottom lip out.

• I JUST SOLD A TOTALLY CUSTOMIZED STREET GLIDE WITH 13" APES AND CUSTOM PAINT YESTERDAY, IT WAS AWESOME LOOKING, BUT I SAY GOOD RIDDANCE! TOOK IT ON ONE LONG TRIP AND IT WAS LAME. I WILL PICK UP MY 3RD ROAD GLIDE THIS FRIDAY (08) AND CAN'T WAIT. I'VE OWNED EVERY HARLEY, AND BY THE WAY TECH BOY, THE RG IS BY FAR THE LEAST GAY OF ALL OF THEM. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER. YOU SOUND LIKE A WANNA BE WHO RIDES ONLY FOR HOW A BIKE MAKES YOU LOOK. ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH THE ACTUAL RIDE ITSELF..THEN YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF A RIDER. NON-POSERS LOVE THE ROAD GLIDE (SO DOES WILLIE G. DAVIDSON BY THE WAY--HIS FAVORITE BIKE--YOU CALLING HIM GAY?) IT HANDLES LIKE A HARLEY WET DREAM. AS FAR AS DEALERS GO, IF YOU BUY ANYWHERE BUT EL CAJON HARLEY YOU ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF ROYAL! BIGGS AND NEW YORK MYKE'S SD HARLEY ARE MONEY MONGERS AND SD'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS LIED TO ME, TRIED TO RIP ME OFF ON LABOR, AND SCREWED ME AROUND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I NOW DRIVE 30 MILES MORE TO GO TO EL CAJON FOR EVERYTHING I NEED.

• From A sales stand point working for Harley-Davidson, your opinion is backwards for sure.
  We rarely have used Street glides and find it VERY hard to sell used Roadglides if we have them. It's just that simple.
  We don't allocate (order) many Roadglides because they don't sell as well as the Street Glides. We that MEMEBERS of some clubs, (usually the most popular member) of the group has convinced everyone that the Road Glide is the BEST handling touring bike out there sooo all the other memebers that look up to that guy agrees and then it starts! Same thing happens with exhaust systems. One popular dude thinks VH is the best thing going, so the rest of his buddies can't get past it. My advice is to use your OWN personality and buy what you WANT to.

• being in sales, you need to say that, because every harley showroom i've been in lately is full of 07 streetglides that they're trying to give away, and they tell me they can't keep roadglides in stock. admit it, the street glide is a decent bike, but it wobbles like crazy, ( Just got rid of one) and they're not that great on long hauls. there is no better handling Harley than the roadglide, and I've had them all, except a sportster and wideglide. sales people are going nuts trying to figure out how to move streetglides.

  By  Anonymous, at 1/10/2008 10:19:00 PM

• It must depend on what part of the country you're in. Dealers around here can't keep streetglides on the floor, or get more in fast enough. The dealer closest to me won't order a RG unless someone orders one.

  By  Aaron, at 1/11/2008 03:51:00 PM

• So which dealership do you sell at that you can't move your used RG's? I'll stop in next week to make an offer on one. I can't find one anywhere at a decent price, everyone loves them. I have yet to hear anything bad about the RG from someone that owns or has owned one.

• I WENT LOOKING FOR A ROAD GLIDE AND WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLY 2 (BOUGHT ONE OF THEM)... BUT BIGGS AND EVERY OTHER SAN DIEGO DEALER HAD A FULL HOUSE OF 07 STREETGLIDES. ONE SALES MGR (I WON'T GET HIM IN TROUBLE) TOLD ME THEY ARE TAKING ALL OFFERS ON STREETGLIDES. BY THE WAY, "TECHBOY" I WAS WATCHING A SPECIAL ON THE HELLS ANGELS THE OTHER NIGHT ON CABLE -- AND SEVERAL OF THE CALIFORNIA CHAPTER MEMBERS WERE RIDING ROAD GLIDES. SO MUCH FOR YOUR "GAY BIKE" THEORY. TELL THEM THAT TO THEIR FACE...THEY'LL PUT A DENT IN YOUR NINJA..OR WHATEVER FOREIGN IMPORT YOU'RE RIDING.

• Wow, I came across this sight looking for information on the street glide. I love the looks, haven't ridden one yet. I'm a bit nervous only because I've only owned a 72 sporster and i now ride a 2002 custom 1200 sporty. I'm wondering with the wieght of the fairing, how it will ride. The Road glide fairing is not fully attached, i think less difficult to manuevre. not really sure but looking forward to test riding. ALTHOUGH, i'm chomping at the bit to order a new, "LUXURY" bike. Girl thing I guess. I'd like something with a bit more protection, comfort.. GPS, LOJACK, , I want to change out the exhaust to V&H big black duals. So easy to take care of when you don't have the time and you live on the ocean... Shit, I can't take the money with me, might as well spend it right?

• RG's are cool, but I have to disagree on one thing. The RG has to be tricked out for it to look good off the show room floor. You can slap a 21/18 inch wheel on the street guide and call it a day. The RG looks incomplete like it's missing something.It is a cheaper bike but it looks cheap. RG's looks to much like the kawasaki 1000 police bike.

• STREET GLIDES ARE THE BOMB! I don't know what you left coast dudes are on out there but they can't keep a street glide around here(SE Florida) especially the Vivid Black FLHX When you go out in the parking lot of a large scale event and head for your Sled you better remember exactly you parked it because all thats out there is Road Glides everyone has one. Now if your riding a St. Glide it sticks out like a white guy in a Baptist Church in Alabama. And its the best looking Scoot out there. Thanks for letting give my $0.02

• I have a 2008 Street Glide and have no fairing vibration problems. This may be something specific to 06 models, or maybe just your bike for some reason.

• You can get rid of the vibration on your Street Glide by upgrading to a Road Glide.

• I just got my 08 STreet Glide and have gone 100 with NO vibration. They must have figured something out from 06 till NOW.
  
  Beautiful Street Glide. Daytona had a nice mix of bikes. Yes, Street Glides were abundant.

• I have ridden a few Metrics in my time. Finally decided to go HD. I test rode the '08 Street & '08 Road Glides. For my stature 6' +. I fit better on the Road Glide. I even ordered one and can't wait to ride it.
  Both have thier points, but like a previous poster stated fit the bike to you not you to the bike.

• I picked up my '07 Road Glide last May. Love the bike. At 6'+ it was the only Harley that fit. By the end of June I had over 3000 miles and a trip to SD under my belt. My only gripe was not being real crazy about the front end. Looked cheap. So I put on a Klock Werks 12" windshield, Harleys windshield trim and a set of mirrors to dress it up. What a difference. In my eye it is now perfect.

• I have an 01 RG and love it. The old time batwing just doesn't get it done anymore. For the posters interested in a better set of bars, I installed a set of wild one chubby 1 1/4 RG bars. They are essentialy the same geometry only with more pull back you can reuse all your wiring/cables. The bike handles great, easy counter steering.

• IT'S LUDICROUS TO SIT HERE AND ARGUE ABOUT WHICH BIKE IS BETTER --BOTH HAVE THEIR STRENGTHS, BUT ONE HAS MORE WEAKNESSES..THE STREETGLIDE. STREET GLIDES ARE LOWER SITTING, HOT LOOKING BIKES THAT ARE EASY TO CUSTOMIZE, BUT JUST DON'T PERFORM ON LONG RUNS...THEY RUN ROUGH, GET BLOWN AROUND, AND ALWAYS SEEM TO BE PUSHING WITH THEIR ENGINE/TRANNY SETUP. oH, BY THE WAY, DID I MENTION THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER? I HAD AN 07 SO I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. ROADGLIDES ARE THE BEST PERFORMING TOURING BIKES HARLEY MAKES, PERIOD. I'M ON MY THIRD. IT COMES DOWN TO THIS; YOU WANT PEOPLE TO THINK YOU'RE OLD SCHOOL WITH A BATWING, HAVE AT IT. IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT YOU KNOW HARLEYS, AND YOU AREN'T WORRIED ABOUT POSING FOR OTHERS, YOU'RE RIDING A ROADGLIDE. PERIOD. BY THE WAY, CHECK OUT ALL THE NEW BAGGER MAGAZINES, AND SEE WHICH BIKE IS SHOWING UP AS THE BIKE TO CUSTOMIZE; ROADGLIDE. I THINK THE BATWING LOOKS OK, JUST NOT FUNCTIONAL. THE SHARK-NOSE FRONT END OF THE ROADGLIDE LOOKS FAST SITTING STILL. NUFF SAID.

• Upgraded from '07 Road King to '08 Road Glide w/ABS. I put 10k on the RK in 5 months and with the long trips the Custom was just not good enough for travel. Leather saddle bags and the headlight on the RK along with the feel when sitting on it and the beach bars was great, but on the long haul, it was not as comfortable as i would have liked. High speed wobble above 65mph, blown around some with the removable ws. It did fit well though. The Road Glide is a great bike and more comfortable on the long haul in regard to wind, warmth, stability etc. I do not like the bars so i will try the Heritage bars, i get pain between my shoulder blades/neck after about 350 miles, especially in colder weather. I think an inch or two closer bars will allow my elbows to bend and relax the shoulder/neck muscles. I have had no problem with the fixed faring, it took no time to get used to it, one day. I do have a mysterious wobble on deceleration starting at 40mph with hands off bars and gets to point at 30mph where i have to grab on or risk total uncontrollability. The RK leathe bags, even with the lock kit kept popping open on the freeway and i've lost hundreds of dollars worth of contents. Like someone said, buy the bike that suites you, not your friends expectations. I wish i could own one of every model HD. Maybe some day but time is running out. Just completed my 10k service on the RG and in shop to check the wobble etc. Love the RG as do most all Harley models.

• I have an 05 RG. Love It! Won't own anything else. Mysterious decelerating is coming from the crappy Dunlop tires. Had the same issue on mine. Put some Metzler ME 880's on her and she as smooth as glass. Highly recommend the Metzler ME 880's. I was in a extremely heavy downpour in Rapid City coming down the mountain from Keystone. Never felt safer.

• Don't know where you live but down here in South Florida its the other way around. Who would want a headlight that points forward when your leaning into a turn? I love my Street Glide and wouldn't trade it for TWO HEADLIGHTS even if its chromed out.

  By  bill, at 5/19/2008 02:16:00 PM

• Bill, on a Street Glide your headlight points slightly in the opposite direction of your turn... remember back to your MSF course... "Counter-Steering". A Road Glide actually provides you more light on a turn because of the fixed fairing... It's simple physics, but most people forget about it because its second nature to use push pull counter-steer.

• Bought an 08 RG with ABS. 7200 mi in two months not a problem, only came home to work to pay for the next trip. The Heritage bar are something to look into. I was told to look at Police Road King bars also. If you pay enough to wheter the fairing is turning your worries will be over soon, in the wreck because you not looking at where you are going.

• I am on my second 05 RG. Road around Bend 0R Last week were I found my 95 CI with 2 into 1 SE pipes with the HD custom #'d paint, vivid Black with Red flames. My traded in 05 RG was real lame lookinq. And the 95 ci screams and I am getting the same 42 to 50 mpg. I am missing the wider and futher back handlebars. HD part #56570-98 which are designed for the RG. They are 31.5" tip to tip, 10.5" base width, 8.75" rise and 9.5" pull back. For me that stopped the shoulder pains on longer rides. And I ride many 350+ miles p/day. They are designed by HD for RG so all the stock cables fit. I found a longer clutch cable to be best however. I am trying hard to get use to the stock bars, but the ones above are going to be ordered agian soon.
  
  I have a trunk on order, looks best wo trunk but the function of the trunk wins. I am trying to decide about the Klock 12" windsield, just not finding many reviews. The short ws on this new RG looks hot, I just don't like all the bugs in my teeth LOL. Cascade HD, Bend OR now has 3 used RG.

• RWofWA, I have the 12" smoked Klock Werks windshield. I love it. Makes the RG look lower & sleeker. I'm 6' tall and when I'm in the saddle the wind hits me right at the top of my forehead. Got a couple of buddies that are a few inches shorter than me that have rode my bike, they say it's perfect for them. They're completely in the pocket. I honestly don't think you will go wrong by buying one. Bought mine directly from Klock Werks when they got their first shipment in, doesn't matter where you buy, they're the same price everywhere.

• Being 6'5" and an atheletic 360lbs (former o-lineman)fit is EVERYTHING!! The world is NOT built for my kind. I too wanted a SG BAD for over a year and got ready to pull the trigger but found after sitting and riding a RG which I hated due to looks I fell in love with the bike! For the first time I rode in comfort, had sounds and could just enjoy the ride. So now I'm a happy owner of a 08 RG Annv.edition. So in closing be part of the ride not just on it.
  
  DA TRAIN.

• All Harley touring bikes are bad about REAR STEER! It sometimes feels like the bike wants to go the other direction in a curve. I installed the True Track set up and this problem is gone! Most dealers will tell you that rear steer doesn't exist on Harley touring bikes. But anyone who has ever ridden one will tell you that it does!

• I have owned 4 diff road kings, two of my good friends had a 05 RG and a 07 SG. Looking for a new bagger with fairing I borrowed both bikes for 2 diff trips to the same place 300 miles each way. The road glide with the fixed fairing Was hands down by far the best bike of the two. The 88 with stage one out did the stock 07 with the bigger engine. No wind issues with the RG the fixed fairing was the key. The SG was all over the road in wind, wobble and had to fight the fairing for control. The RG was like cutting warm butter with a hot knife. No effort and just slid right through. I went out on craigslist and found a 06 RG with a stage one and vance & hines pipes & the Zeplin air bag seat it had 1300 miles on it and got it for 13k cash in hand. He wanted 16.5 but i got it down to 13k. He was about to loose his house and needed Cash. I have raced light to light with the 07 SG and i blow'n his socks off every time. I can out corner him as well on long trips. As far as looks.. My Rglide sitting next to the SG looks way hotter. I have the vivid black, with chrome wind trim, Short dark black windshield, Leather bag covers and tank bra. It catches everyones eye. They walk up to my bike to check it out and do not even give his 07 cobalt blue bike a look. The Road glide chrome windshield trim kit with short black windshield is the Key to make that bike stick out. I added a set of purple led's to the bike and at night it looks so HOT. Never again will i own a king, or think of buying a SG. My bike of choice for life is now the Road Glide. I will sell my RG next year for what i paid or more and pick up a 08 with low miles for a steal of a deal and ride the hell out of it.

• As far as the shoulder cramps go, I just put a HD Comfort Stitch touring saddle on my '07 Road Glide. This made all the difference in the world for comfort and improved the handling(hard to imagine since it handles so well). The detatchable backrest out my wife too far forward in the saddle while pushing me ahead about an inch with the stock saddle. Now staying in the saddle between gas fill-ups is possible and no more shoulder cramps. I also just put on a set of V&H Wide Ovals after doing sound comparisons at Americade last June. My gas mileage is now around 50 mpg. Every time I ride this bike I am just amazed at what a wonderful handling, comfortable machine it is. Still haven't found a "Road Glide" vest pin.

• This forum is starting to make me laugh!
  
  I wouldn't be caught dead with faggoty lizard lights on my bike. All those little neon light kits are just for rubbies. Seriously, those things are one of the bullshit accessories that tell the whole world you're a homo. You might as well put big leather tassles on your handlebars too. LOL!
  
  I have a '08 SG and couldn't be happier with it.
  I used to think that RGs were seriously ugly, but they kinda grow on ya. I took a friend of mine's RG for a ride and it's pretty damn comfy too. I still wouldn't trade my SG though.
  
  FTW.

• I assumed everyone knew? My '79 Guzzi with Vetter "Frame" mounted fairing is great, my '05 Dyna with detachable-fork mounted shield is NOT!.
  What is this revolation with the Road Glide- Frame mounted is always better. Now if they would only give me nore than a few bucks for my Dyna on trade- I'd have me a ROADY.

• Question concerning the st.glide
  and the road glide. What is the
  difference between the two. I know
  the flaring is one. But can that be changed to look like the st.glide? What other can someone
  tell me. Also is it cheaper in price. I am looking for a st. glide
  but wondering how can I get a better price if there is a bike out there that I can change.

• The differences I can tell between the StreetGlide and RoadGlide are the seating positions, the handlebars are different, and the steering, especially cornering is more precise and easier on the RG because the fairing is independent of the fork. The wind has no effect on the on the steering movement of the fork, only the frame. Try one out, you'll feel the difference.
