I'm kinda partial to the Super Glide. The Wide Glide is cool as hell ,but in my area 90% of the Dyna's are Wide Glides. I like to be a little different. So, I bought the Super Glide and aped the **** out of it. I love it. Just my $.02.

That is definetly one sweet Superglide Kenny!!! I love that color combo. A buddy of mine has a sportster with that paint job. Gives it a cool vintage look.

Wide Glide also has forward controls. I'm thinking that new Wide Glides have black rims and Super Glides are chrome.

Like my Super with forwards. I need the better handling here in NYC. I have the Mustang and I like it a lot.

sorry I have not searched the threads a lot, but thought I would ask.... if it has already been done then I expect you'll link me there.
Thanks in advance,

Get the cheaper SG and use the difference in price on some fun stuff.
