Default 2014 FLHX to FXDLS

Has anyone gone from a Rushmore Streetglide to a 2015 Lowrider? Im seriously considering trading my 2014 Streetglide on a new FXDLS. Thoughts?

Do it. Even bagger riders can become motorcyclists.

I did it. I had my Streetglide for 3 months and went back to a Lowrider.

I just did it! 2008 Street Glide for Low Rider! Baggers are great if you're touring all the time, but they're overkill for my riding needs. You can tour on a dyna very well if you need to, but don't have all that bulk for everyday use.

My new Low Rider. Puts the fun back in riding. D&D FatCat exhaust, SE Heavy Breather, Stage One, new grips, forward controls, and a few other things.

What year Streetglide? How do the Lowrider brakes compare to the SG?

I sold my 2009 SG. Bought a 2015 SB. Not sure if it was the right choice. I have fun on the Dyna so far, but with winter, riding is limited. Biggest things I notice are wind on the highway, more cramped position, and vibration. I've bought a fairing, looking at floorboards, and working on what gear to ride in to reduce vibes. I really want both bikes! I may look for an older used bagger to add to the stable.

I came to my Bob from an '07 Heritage. Like above, the wind in the face was very noticeable as to be expected. My first ride with the boards was like night and day. More comfortable than the mids. My wife doesn't like riding with me that much anymore, so that's not all that bad. Lol...a fairing of some sort will be next to take the wind off my chest.
