Default '10 SG Custom VS '10 Wide Glide

Hello to all. I've recently been talking with some dealers about trading in my sportster for a Dyna. I've narrowed down my search to two bikes. The '10 Super Glide Custom and the '10 Wide Glide. I like the looks of both bikes, each has certain things I like about them. I have test rode a '09 SG Custom but have yet to get on a new Wide Glide. I know ultimately it comes down to which one feels better to me. I am 5'7 and weigh about 190. What do you all think? Any words of wisdom would be great. I am trying to make to most educated decision I can. Thanks for all the opinions!

Mike

Between the two... I'd go for the Supper Glide Custom... any day, every day & all day.

The Super Glide has 29 degree rake in it where the Wide Glide has 34 degrees. You should feel a big difference between the two when cornering. Ride them both and see which one you like. I choose the SG for my riding style.

The Wide Glide looks good, but my '09 FXDC is the best handling H-D I've ever ridden. Fits me too at 5' 7".

I'm 5'9" and I love my WG. It corners just as well as any other bike I have ridden. I have had both street/sportbikes. Go for the WG.

I am also 5"7 and my choice ended up being the Wide Glide. The 34 degree rake is not a problem I actually wish it was stretched out a little more. The new Wide Glide is great out on the highway and also handles well on the country roads. Either one of your choices are excellent, good luck!
