Trade my 96 electraglide for a 02 wideglide? The wideglide does have the bigbore kit and less miles.

 

Yes, but I may be a bit biased towards Wide Glides .

 

the eg was my 1st harley and i just wanna try something new and the wife hate steppin over the bags to get on all the time

 

Wow.. That is a tuff choice, isn't it?

Both are carb bikes. You will loose wind protection, and storage. I can't advise you, man. Take the lady for a ride on the WG, and have her help with that decision.

 

That is a tough one there,
If you do alot of long distance riding the Electra-Glide adds that standard of fairing and storage Both classy rides with the WG ya just add a shield and tour bag. can you swing both?

From what you said in your PM, I'd go for it. I don't see the point of having a bagger if you're not going to do a lot of touring on it. And don't think you can't tour on a Wide Glide. While I haven't done any really long rides, I have done several multi-hundred mile days on mine. Went from NJ to OBX this past spring w/ a buddy. Had a great ride. Did a 525 'cruise' to go up to Mass. and back so another buddy could buy a bike. 150 - 250 mile rides on a Saturday are pretty common. The g/f and I did 225 miles just riding up to Bear Mtn. and back a couple of weeks ago. Get a quick-release windshield, a set of throw-over bags, and a T-Bag to go on the sissy bar, and you're all set for a nice road trip. I really do like the flexibility of mine. Great for just riding around, and I would have no problem taking it on a long trip.

 

Your Bagger is paid for..?..Can ya swing to buy the WG....Then ya got the best of both worlds.
If not..get the WG and add wid protection and Bags.

 

that is what i was going to say almost spot on
