Sat on one and it was basically a Street Glide with a different fairing. The bars are a little funky but I would have to actually ride one before judging. Regardless, you're going to love it. I love my SGS. Best bike I've ever owned.

Congrats!

The sheild is better than the stock 13 six incher, but will be better with something a little taller. The fit and finish on the fairing is way better, on the 13 I started to see signs of some glue or something oozing out around the edges of the inner fairing. Some may like the new ones, some are gonna hate them, the bottom line is I have to be happy with it,which I totally am. I like this one so much that I may just throw some chrome wheels and a CVO rear fender and bags,speaker lids and amp on it and be done with it, we'll see.

Don't forget the apes.

Early reviews stated that the special would have a color matched inner fairing. Reality is that the special has gloss black fairing.

This is the same bike, same color that I am hoping to pick up when my promotion comes in. Can't wait.
