Been away for a while, but the Sport Glide is drawing me back in. Wife's been complaining that she can't ride with me as my current bike is a small standard. Does anyone know what, if any, changes were made to the 2019 Sport Glide? There's a used 2018 around me, and a new 2019. Not really sure if it's worth spending extra for a new one.

 

 

I think they added a central brake light (vs using the blinkers as brake/blinker/running lights), and the primary may be a bit narrower (not certain), but nothing significant, I think. Fantastic bike. I've had mine for a year and love it. My wife is pretty small, and she finds the seat uncomfortable after an hour or so - probably better than many of the Softails, but not ideal. I've tried 2 seats so far (Saddleman and Mustang), and while they were great for my wife, they kept me in a cruiser slouch, where I wanted to be more upright. Waiting for a Corbin right now that I hope corrects that. Anyway, good luck!

 

Thanks guys, sounds like 2018 should be the right choice then. Let's see what I can get it for and what shape it's in with less than 500 miles

 

Oh, wow, that's brand new!

 

 

The 2019 probably has the cam plate/seal on it, whereas the 2018 didn't.

 

After doing 1K service yesterday and going for a short test ride, Girl (who followed me) mentioned she didn't think the back end provided enough visibility. We looked at this area specifically. There's a red reflector between the license plate light and the plate, but it doesn't light up. Now thinking about LED upgrade...

Like someone mentioned I think the only difference in the new model year is more color choices. I went to the dealership wanting black but they had a different bike in midnight blue. If they would've had a SpG in that color I probably would've bought it. I thought that color looked awesome.

 

 

The low bar is for bikes with mid-mount controls, the high bar is for those with forward controls. (at least, as I understand it).
