Default WG, SB or LR...how did you decide?

I have been bouncing around from one to another. I am lucky, cause I have a Road King (that I love), and I am not in a hurry.

Can you tell me what caused you to pick?

Handling, looks, seating position etc.

Thanks folks.

LR is good because you get dual-disk brakes. And alloy wheels. Seat is dope too - running it on my SB.

for me it was a tossup between LR and SB. I liked the look and feel of the SB just a little more. I did like the bars on the LR a little better, but those are easily enough changed. In the end I would be happy with either. I just thought the SB was a little more raw and that's what I was looking for.

I love my LR. I do wish it came with the black engine as well as a better color selection. The horn sucks too, and since the ignition switch is where the horn is on all the other models (because of the tach) no aftermarket horns fit easy. Other than that man, it's awesome

You've ridden all three and don't have a preference? Sounds like the one with the best resale and/or lowest buy-in is the right choice for you.

I have not yet ridden all three. I rode the LR last weekend, and am going back to try all three.

They all are freaking great, and stand out in there own way.

I need to see how the handling of the WG compares to the other two.

By the way, your signature picture disturbs me for some reason.

Thanks folks

WG because of rake and big skinny wheel is not that good in turns/twisties but shines on freeway.
You don't consider fat bob?

I have always been a big apes, cruising in style guy...Until I got a killer deal on my LR. You can make any bike your own, and I did to the LR with Extended Forwards, seat, etc...

The difference in handling is Night and Day. I can take my LR and put some street bikes and weak riders to shame on twisty fun roads. This thing handles like a BEAST. Personal preference if you ask me, but they all have their differences.

I had this exact thought once I test rode the Street Bob.
