Looking to get a tourer as my current FSDBI gets pretty chilly on very cold days.&nbsp\\; Which is the best value.&nbsp\\; Is the major difference the trim and ride height?

 

Pardon the fat fingers.&nbsp\\; FXBDI.

 

The SG is the slammed sporty version and is basically a&nbsp\\;Road King Custom with a fairing. The EG is a more standard type ride with less chrome.
&nbsp\\;
For me I'd take the SG.

 

I sold my lowrider, cause I want a tourer! I am going for the Street Glide, cause it looks gordeouse!
Probably the classic is a more value for money bike? I don`t care

 

Value is subjective. FUNCTIONALLY value, I would rate the Classic a better deal. Your getting a tourpak, passing lamps, rear floorboards, and a seat with a rear section thats usable for more than 50 miles. It will ride better with the longer shocks, but those can be had for the SG for about 100 bucks on ebay.

The Street Glide is about looks.

I went back and forth for weeks. Go with what your heart tells you. I knew the Classic made more sense, especially as I wanted a tour pak, but I wanted the clean fenders, and one color paint of the SG.

BTW, Ive tried it both ways.

 

Im in the same boat.&nbsp\\; Looking into a touring bike, love the streetglide clean looks and metal, but love the tourpack and 4 speaker stereo.&nbsp\\; Any input?

&nbsp\\;I went with the EGC because of the Features and added items, I know the SG is a Best Seller for HD but if you are going to add the Tour Pack it makes sense to get the EGC. Mine came with Cruise, Security, ABS, Driver Backrest, Chrome Luggage Rack on Tour Pack and Leather Windshield Pouch. I Love it and will not Look Back, Just My&nbsp\\;.02 cents worth.

I almost went with the classic. Way better value. The SG is just plain cooler!

 

Better value if you are looking strictly for function is the EG Classic. Myself I went for looks first and function second. My Street Glide became a Street Glide Classic.

Had an 06 SG so I knew I already loved the look. Traded it in on a Road Glide which wasn't for me. But I knew when I decided to trade back to a batwing that I wanted a tour pak, passing lamps and passenger floorboards. Adding those as opposed to stripping and replacing parts on the EGC was the cheaper route for me.

 

i had no choice, wife bought it for my surprise bithday present.
&nbsp\\;
good choice
