Question New Bike? Electra Glide Standard or Street Glide

I'm going to trade in on a New 09' and need to know if there are any differences in the two other than what I've seen.
1. Grey engine case on standard / black on glide
2. bar mounted mirrors on standard / fairing mounted on the glide
3. no radio on standard
4. different windshields
5. chrome on standard front fender.

Is there anything else. 16,999.00 on standard and 18,999.00 on glide?

Thanks!

I see the 2010 Glides are the same price, also would a 2010 Road Glide Custom be a better choice since its the same price as a Glide?

I had a standard and now I have a street glide. If I had to do it over I would pick the standard. The aftermarket radio is cheaper then hd, I changed out the shocks because they bottom out with 2 people, and I changed out the seat for a more comfortable passenger seat.They look the same to me, but comfort is what counts.You need to make your own choice.

Streetglide is much better looking.

Chrome engine parts and primary on SG. Polished Aluminum on Standard.

Spun Aluminum guages on SG (4). Black on Standard (2).

Wheels are different. I like the SG wheels. They are easier to clean.

Chrome console on SG.

Different seats. The one on the standard is probably a better seat.

1" lower rear shocks on SG.

Looked at both when we decided on the Standard. We would have had to put on passenger floor boards, the windshield was to short for me and the seat was to low (I am 6-2, 280) on the SG. They offered to change these things out but I thought, why? I like the Standard as it is, maybe I am weird, but after the first 1K I am still extremly pleased with my decision. Just my 2 cents worth..................go with you feel comfortable on.......
